Abstract: The 2025 edition of ‘The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard’ monitors and analyses industrial research and development (R&D) investment trends in the context of the EU’s 3% of GDP R&D investment policy target and the related policy initiatives by the Competitiveness Compass. The 2025 Scoreboard analyses the world's top 2 000 industrial R&D investors, responsible for over 90% of R&D performed by the business sector globally, based on the financial information in the latest published audited accounts of firms. Following the introduction, chapter 2 analyses the main global trends and benchmarks the EU’s top R&D investing companies against global competitors. Chapter 3 provides details by sector, and chapter 4 does a deep-dive on a subsample of the EU’s top 800 R&D investing firms. Chapter 5 analyses R&D internationalisation and chapter 6 key green technologies.
