Supplementary notes

* The results come from the Capacity to Innovate and Strategy survey (Community Innovation Survey, CIS 2020) conducted between April and November 2021 by all member states of the European Union. It covers the period 2018-2020 and includes companies with 10 or more employees operating in France.

The same company can have multiple innovations and several types of innovation. Innovation activities do not necessarily result in an innovation. They include the acquisition of machinery, equipment, buildings, software, and licenses; engineering and development work; industrial design; training; and marketing if undertaken specifically to develop or implement a product or process innovation. They also include all types of R&D activities. A company is broadly considered innovative if it reports having introduced an innovation in at least one of the two possible innovation categories (products or processes) or if it states that it has engaged in product or process innovation activities or research and development (R&D) activities. Innovation may thus be ongoing or abandoned.

The "All innovations" category includes product and process innovations (including organizational and marketing), ongoing or abandoned innovation activities, as well as the development of R&D activities.
