In 2023, Italy's total intramural expenditure on R&D in all fields was accounted at 27.05 billion euros. Moving forward, the forecast indicates a steady year-on-year growth: from 27.55 billion euros in 2024 to 29.55 billion euros by 2028. The average annual growth rate over this period, calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), suggests a consistent upward trajectory in investment.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements driving increased R&D spending, potential governmental policy shifts impacting funding allocations, and Italy's positioning within the EU's broader innovation landscape which could influence R&D priorities and funding.
