EU: R&D Activity
The 2007 edition of the European Commission's annual scoreboard of companies’ spending on research and development (R&D) shows that EU-based companies have increased their corporate R&D by 7.4%. 12 companies with R&D activities in Ireland rank in the top 1000 companies.
The 2007 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard, released in early October 2007, presents information on 2000 companies from around the world reporting major investments in R&D, and is available at http://iri.jrc.ec.europa.eu/research/scoreboard_2007.htm.
