ICT Research and Development and Innovation
The ICT sector is in the lead for R&D expenditures, employment, and patents. The software and semiconductor segments are particularly R&D-intensive. The share of ICT R&D conducted in non-ICT industries is also high (about one-quarter of total ICT R&D) and in some non-ICT sectors, ICT R&D spending (especially softwarerelated) makes up a large share of total R&D budgets. The United States and Japan still have a large lead in terms of ICT R&D expenditures by businesses, but countries such as Korea and some non-OECD economies are catching up. The organisation of ICT R&D is continuing to develop and change around new kinds of business collaboration and internationalisation.
