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 Innovation Survey of the Flemish Government asks whether companies have sold new goods or services, implemented changes in their internal procedures or organisation, did other innovation activities, including research and development activities, or made investments for said activities.
