El gasto en I+D interna en C-LM alcanzó los 313.897 euros en 2022, un 7,6% menos que en 2021, según el INE

Spain’s 2022 investment in internal Research and Development (R&D) marked a significant national rebound, growing by 12% to represent 1.44% of GDP. This surge highlights a broader commitment to innovation across the public and private sectors, with businesses driving the largest share of both execution and funding. The data reveals a clear pattern of increased professional engagement, as the number of full-time R&D personnel also rose, indicating a strengthening workforce dedicated to technological and scientific advancement. However, this national progress masks substantial regional inequalities. While some autonomous communities achieved impressive double-digit growth rates, others, such as Castilla-La Mancha, experienced declines in their internal R&D spending. Per capita investments vary drastically across the country, creating a disparity where certain regions lead in innovation capacity while others lag significantly behind. These divergent trends suggest that the benefits of increased national investment are not being distributed uniformly, potentially widening the competitive gap between different geographical areas. This information is crucial for open data initiatives because it underscores the necessity of transparent, granular statistical reporting to identify structural imbalances in public funding and scientific effort. By making these detailed datasets publicly accessible, policymakers and researchers can scrutinize the efficiency of resource allocation and address the root causes of regional disparities. Furthermore, the breakdown of gender participation in R&D offers valuable insights for social equity studies, demonstrating how open data can serve not only economic analysis but also the evaluation of social inclusion within the scientific community.
