Description

National coverage

Close

This table contains figures regarding the personnel and the expenditure related to in-house Research and Development (R&D) activities that are conducted with own or external personnel.

The figures are provided for the following sectors:

  • businesses
  • institutions
  • institutes of higher education

The R&D activities are conducted in-house by own or external personnel in the Netherlands. Outsourced R&D is not included in this table.

Data available from: 2013

Status of the figures: The data regarding 2013-2021 are definitive and the data regarding 2022-2024 are revised provisional.

The status of the figures in this table is related to the status of the figures on the gross domestic product (GDP). Until the GDP is definitive, the R&D intensity can be adjusted.

Changes as of 20 July 2026: The figures about 2024 have been adjusted and are revised provisional.

As of statistical year 2024, the method for determining R&D in the higher education sector has been significantly improved. This makes the published data more accurate, only it no longer fully aligns with the figures from previous years.

As of statistical year 2022, a new sample design and weighting method are used for this statistic. This makes the published data more accurate, but this change does mean that for the moment the figures on the number of R&D firms cannot be published.

When will new figures be published? In the fourth quarter of 2026 the provisional figures about 2025 will be published.
