Copenhagen scores average on innovation indicators
Copenhagen scores relatively high on total R&D expenditure. A large
share of Danish research and development is based in the Capital Region.
More than 70% of private R&D funds in Denmark are spent in the Capital
Region; and 64% of public R&D. Not surprisingly, there is a concentration
of public researchers in the Capital Region. Two-thirds of the annual
research projects in natural and health science are registered in the Capital
Region, and more than half of the researchers in the Danish health care
system work at the hospitals in the Capital Region. Around 2.4% of total
regional GDP in Copenhagen is spent on R&D, reflecting a relatively higher
contribution of private R&D than public R&D. According to FORA, public
R&D expenditure in the Capital Region amounted to approximately 1.3% of
GDP, whereas private expenditure amounted to 3.2% of GDP in 2003
