OECD - Intramural biotechnology R&D expenditures in the government and higher education sectors as a percentage of total government expenditures

Data on the intramural biotechnology R&D expenditures in the government and higher education sectors as a percentage of total government and higher education sectors R&D expenditures (GOVERD+HERD)

The percentage is calculated from Biotechnology R&D expenditures / Government Expenditure on R&D (GOVERD) + Higher Education Expenditure on R&D (HERD)

Biotechnology firms use biotechnology to produce goods or services and/or to perform biotechnology R&D. These firms are captured by biotechnology firm surveys.

Dedicated biotechnology firms devote at least 75% of their production of goods and services, or R&D, to biotechnology.

This dataset is part of the OECD Key Biotech Indicators.
