Enterprises with innovation; key figures

This table provides an overview of the number of enterprises in The Netherlands that conduct technological innovation projects (whether or not successful) or have completed these. These enterprises are called technological innovators. For the innovators with completed innovations a distinction is made between product innovations process innovations. Furthermore the table includes data on the number of enterprises that have cooperated with one or more partners in developing technological innovations.

The scope of this table is limited to technological innovations. Non-technological innovations are left out. However, the definition of a technological innovation is subject to change and is not the same for all reference periods. Up to and including the reference period 2014-2016, organisational innovations and marketing innovations were inquired separately and were subsequently classified as non-technological. As of the reference period 2016-2018, these innovations are a part of the process innovations and are therefore classified as technological.

The data are the results of the two-yearly community innovation survey. Each survey reports on three years, for example 2016 up to and including 2018 (this is the reference period). Here the last year in a survey is the same as the first year in the subsequent survey. That means the periods partially overlap.

Data available from: 1994-1996

Status of the figures:
The data regarding the periods up to and including 2018-2020 are definitive and the data regarding the period 2020-2022 are revised provisional.

Changes as of 6 September 2024:
The revised provisional figures about 2020-2022 have been published.

In addition, in the periods 2016-2018 and 2018-2020, the figure on co-operating innovators accidentally included non-innovation related co-operation. As a result, said figure was too high. This has now been rectified and the correct figures have been published. The other figures for the aforementioned periods are unchanged.

When will new figures be published?
Mid 2026 the figures about 2022-2024 will be published.

本表概述了荷兰开展技术创新项目（无论成功与否）或已完成的企业的数量。这些企业被称为技术创新者。对于已完成创新的技术创新者，区分了产品创新与流程创新。此外，表中还包含了与一个或多个合作伙伴合作开发技术创新的企业数量。本表的范畴限于技术创新，不包括非技术创新。然而，技术创新的定义可能会发生变化，且在不同参考期间并非一致。直至2014-2016参考期间，组织创新和营销创新被单独调查，随后被归类为非技术创新。自2016-2018参考期间起，这些创新被视为流程创新的一部分，因此被归类为技术创新。

数据为每两年一次的社区创新调查的结果。每次调查报告三年，例如2016年至包括2018年（这是参考期间）。在这里，调查的最后一年与下一调查的第一年相同。这意味着时期部分重叠。

数据可追溯至1994-1996。

数据状况：

直至包括2018-2020期间的有关数据为最终确定数据，而关于2020-2022期间的数据为修订后的临时数据。

截至2024年9月6日的变化：

关于2020-2022期间的修订后的临时数据已发布。

此外，在2016-2018年和2018-2020期间，合作创新者的数据意外地包含了与技术创新无关的合作。因此，该数据过高。现已更正，并发布了正确的数据。上述期间的其他数据保持不变。

何时发布新数据？
预计2026年中将发布关于2022-2024期间的数据。
