Innovation

Producer:	Statistics Finland
Data:	Latest release: Innovation involves the whole value chain, customers and users included in development 07 Jun 2012 Forty-six per cent of enterprises had innovation activity related to products and processes in 2008-2010. Innovations are developed throughout the value chain, but the most frequent reporters of innovation activity were system suppliers. Altogether 15 per cent of the total turnover of enterprises in 2010 came from product innovations launched on the market during 2008-2010. These data derive from a survey of Statistics Finland concerning innovation activity among enterprises. Next release: Statistical releases will not be issued in English from these statistics in 2013.
Description:	The innovation survey carried out every second year is part of the joint project Community Innovation Survey (CIS) coordinated by Eurostat and made in all EU Member States. The main objective of the innovation survey is to examine the generality of innovation activity by enterprises and to chart the characteristics and measures related to innovation activity. The survey makes use of an EU harmonised data collection questionnaire and uniform definitions and methods. The key concepts of the survey are based on the definitions of OECD and Eurostat (Oslo Manual, Guidelines for collecting and interpreting innovation data, 3rd edition, OECD 2005). The statistics are statutory (Finland's Statistics Act 280/2004) and the regulations of the European Union in part require the collection of the data in question (Decision of the European Parliament and the Council (No 1608/2003/EC) and the Commission’s implementing Regulation (No 1450/2004)).
