This report contains the main findings of the ninth European Commission
survey on industrial research and development (R&D) investment
trends. It analyses the responses of 186 mainly very large enterprises
from a subsample of 1 000 EU-based companies in the 2013 EU Industrial
R&D Investment Scoreboard. These 186 companies invested almost € 60
billion in R&D from their own resources, corresponding to 36 % of
the total R&D investment by the 1 000 EU Scoreboard companies.
