Sub-climate; Rend expenditure of companies internally compared to 1990-2011

This table gives an overview of R & D expenditure per industry for a number of countries and for the Dutch provinces. R & D spending by companies gives an indication of the extent to which companies are willing to invest in developing new knowledge. In addition, this table shows foreign-funded R & D expenditure. R & D activities of companies funded by foreign parties provide a global picture of the international R & D money flows. Research and development stimulates the growth of innovative entrepreneurship (in the form of start-ups and fast growing companies). Please note: In order to make an international comparison possible, the figures presented here use internationally comparable definitions, which sometimes differ from the definitions normally used by CBS. As a result, differences can occur between these figures and national figures published elsewhere on the CBS website. Data available from 1990 to 2012. Status of the figures: The external sources for this table provide regularly updated data for previous periods. For example, it often happens that countries still provide figures for older years. The reverse, that older figures are withdrawn, happens every now and then. These adjusted data are not marked as such in the table. Changes as of 22 December 2017: No, table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? it’s not.
