Survey of Research and Development in Canadian Industry Intended to Directly Benefit Developing Countries

2004

Commercial research and development (R&D) performers in Canada devoted a mere 0.4% of their total R&D spending to developing countries, according to estimates based on data from the 2004 Survey of Research and Development in Canadian Industry Intended to Directly Benefit Developing Countries.

Just 2.7% of commercial enterprises in Canada carried out R&D to benefit developing countries in 2004.

The survey also showed that more than 70% of commercial R&D performers are exporters of goods and services and that nearly 5% of the exports are intended for developing countries.

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 5097.
