Slovenia’s gross domestic expenditure on research and development (R&D) amounted to a record EUR 989.3 million in 2019, up 10.8% from 2018 and 5.8% more than the previous high in 2013, preliminary data released by the Statistics Office show.
Last year thus saw the second consecutive rise in R&D spending – that of more than EUR 90 million in nominal terms and that of 10% in relative terms. R&D expenditure was higher in all sectors. Businesses accounted for 61% of the spending.
