To improve its competitiveness as a strong region within Europe, Flanders has affirmed its commitment to the European objective of spending 3% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on Research and Development (R&D) by 2020. Progress in approaching this 3% objective is checked each year based on numbers obtained from the R&D Survey and the Innovation Survey (CIS).
(note: The 3% note is only available in Dutch.)

On this page you can find more information about the 3% note and consult previous versions.

The Research & Development Survey of the Flemish Government asks whether a company conducted research and development activities (internally or at customers) or purchased R&D from third parties.
