Brussels – AAA research wanted.
\nItaly, which ranks very low\u00a0in terms of national research spending, does not respond to the EU’s call<\/strong> for innovation to become more competitive. In 2023, Eurostat notes, the government allocated 1.31 per cent of Gross Domestic Product<\/strong> (GDP) to research, placing the country 18th out of 27<\/strong> in terms of spending rate. An effort practically similar to that of a decade ago, the European Statistics Institute notes again: in 2013, Italy invested 1.29 per cent of its GDP in the sector.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, at the EU level, over a decade, the policy has been one of increase (from 2.08 per cent to 2.22 per cent), and the 2023 figure also confirms an established trend. In the year under review, the EU spent \u20ac381.4 billion on research and development,\u00a06.7 per cent more than the previous year<\/strong> (\u20ac357.4 billion). Italy remains practically at a standstill.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Compared with the major eurozone economies, Italy is not keeping pace<\/strong>. At the end of 2023, Germany invested 3.11 per cent of its GDP in research, France 2.19 per cent, and Spain 1.49 per cent.\u00a0Major competitors are investing more to be more innovative and competitive, and Italy faces the risk of widening the economic gap with its partners, including\u00a0the risk felt within the Italian government of an overtaking by Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU invests little, and Italy invests even less; the push for research and development comes from the secondary sector. The European Statistical Institute<\/a> notes how “\u200bthe business enterprise sector continued to account for the largest share of spending<\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span>\u00a0In 2023, it accounted for 66 per cent of research and development spending in the entire European Union, totalling \u20ac253.1 billion.\u00a0It is followed by the university sector (\u20ac81.7 billion, or 21 per cent of the total), only then by the public sector, i.e.\u00a0governments (\u20ac41 billion, or 11 per cent).\u00a0Added to this is the contribution from the non-profit private sector (\u20ac5.5 billion, 1 per cent).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
