The 2006 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard provides information of the top 1000 EU companies and top 1000 from outside the EU (non-EU) which invest the most in R&D.
Check this out on the Industrial Research and Innovation web site of the European Commission's Directorate-General Joint Research Centre.
"The 2006 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard shows that the top 1000 EU companies increased their R&D by an average of 5.3 % in 2005. This figure is in line with the results of a Commission survey released earlier this year. The top 1000 non-EU companies raised their R&D investment by 7.7%, showing a world-wide boost in R&D spending. The EU maintains a high profile, with 18 of the top 50 R&D spenders and 5 of the 10 word-wide companies with the fastest R&D growth."
That is from the press release, which appears here, along with the report and spreadsheet data .
