The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard

The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard provides economic and financial data and analysis of companies from the EU and from abroad investing the most in Research and Development (R&D).

The Scoreboard is published annually in order to provide an up-dated tool for comparisons between companies, sectors, and geographical areas, and to offer a full picture of the competitive situation of EU firms in the global R&D environment.

This activity is implemented under the European Commission’s Research Investment Action Plan as a part of a broader monitoring activity designed to develop a fuller understanding of factors and trends in private-sector R&D investment.

The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard is the result of a close co-operation between two Directorates General of the European Commission: the Joint Research Centre (DG-JRC) and Research (DG-RTD).
