Our latest research, among nearly 5,000 business leaders in 30+ economies, shows R&D investment expectations at a record high as firms focus their investments on quality rather than quantity.

How can your business use R&D as a catalyst for global growth? And how can firms make the most of government R&D incentives, both locally and internationally, to invest for long-term growth?

Explore our data and latest insights below.
