Spending more on research and development

Preliminary figures from the research and development (R&D) statistics show that the intramural R&D expenditure in the Norwegian business enterprise sector amounted to NOK 13,3 billion in 2005 - an increase of 3 per cent from 2004. The enterprise sector employed 14 600 man-years in R&D for 2005, which is an increase of 4 per cent from the previous survey.

When examining size classes, the statistics show that enterprises with more than 50 employees used NOK 9,9 billion in intramural R&D and employed 10500 man-years in R&D for 2005. Enterprises with 10-49 employees had NOK 3,4 billion in intramural R&D and employed 4100 man-years in R&D for 2005.

These figures are primarily based on information from the larger R&D enterprises. The growth observed in this group of enterprises - together with estimates given for 2005 in the 2004 survey - are used to give the total figures reported above.

More detailed information will be available in December 2006.
