European Innovation Scoreboard 2016

55European Innovation Scoreboard 2016

Spain is a Moderate Innovator. Innovation performance improved steadily until 2013, after which the innovation index has declined. In 2015, performance is at a significantly lower level compared to 2008. Spain’s gap with the EU has increased over time. In 2008, the relative performance level was at its highest at 77%, whereas in 2015 it has decreased to 69%.

For most indicators, Spain is performing below the EU average. Performance in Open, excellent and attractive research systems is close to the average performance of the EU, mainly because of strong relative performance in International scientific co-publications. In relative terms, the weakest indicator is License and patent revenues from abroad.

Performance has improved most in the dimension of Human resources (3.8%). The indicator that has improved most is License and patent revenues from abroad (13%), and Venture capital investments (-11%) has declined most.

Provisional CIS 2014 data show improved performance for five indicators and worsened performance for one indicator. The overall impact on the innovation index is expected to be positive with the index possibly increasing from 0.361 to 0.372 assuming that for the other indicators performance would not change.

Note: Performance relative to the EU where the EU = 100.

Galicia is a Moderate Innovator. Innovationperformance has declined (-10%) compared totwo years ago.

The radar graph shows that relative strengthscompared to the EU28 are in Tertiary educationattainment, Sales due to new productinnovations, and Exports of medium and hightech products.

The trend graphs on the right show that relativestrengths in the regional innovation system (i.e.the indicators which are most above the shadedarea showing the region's Regional InnovationIndex) are Tertiary education attainment, Exportsof medium and high tech products, andEmployment in knowledge-intensive industries.Relative weaknesses are in SMEs with marketingor organizational innovations, Non-R&Dinnovation expenditures, and Public R&Dexpenditures.
