Corporate R&D and innovation activities have become increasingly integrated in global production and innovation networks. While the internationalisation of corporate R&D and innovation is not new, its speed and extent have increased in recent years in response to increased global competition, technological change, and the availability and costs of skills.The increasing internationalisation of corporate R&D and innovation has implications for future economic growth and European Union's research and innovation. Innovative enterprises integrated in global production and innovation networks are likely to drive the European innovation-based growth in the next decade.

This workshop discussed recent evidence on the internationalisation of corporate R&D and innovation and its impact on productivity. The agenda included two sessions to discuss key research finding from projects undertaken by the IRIMA research team and invited external experts. The workshop concluded with a policy panel discussion on the implications of the internationalisation of corporate R&D and innovation for enterprise and innovation policies.
