Key Figures 2007 on Science Technology and Innovation
From the pre-publication of DG RTD Key Figures 2007
Andrea Tilche
Ad Hoc Group on Innovation in the European Chemicals Industry

Why does R&D matter?
• 3% Action Plan (2003);
• Each Member State has set its own target for increased R&D intensity;
• Green Paper on ERA (2007);
3
Key Figures 2007
• Presents data up to 2005, thus predating the recently renewed commitments made by Member States to increase their R&D intensity
• Shows that recent policy initiatives and commitments are more than ever valid, and should be reflected by intensification of pace of reforms

Situation in 2005 Target 2010
13
The gap is mainly in the private sector
14
Is low R&D-intensity a result of lack of
dynamism of EU’s industrial structure ?
15
• 85% gap is due to low business investment
• structural differences between EU-US – medium-tech industries dominate in the EU

complementary
