Why innovation matters

  • + 13% in assets
  • +25% in revenue
  • +27% in profitability

According to the 2024 Innovation Barometer, R&D is a proven growth driver for SMEs. Based on official tax data*, after eight years, SMEs that invested in R&D have consistently outperformed their peers.

Innovation is therefore both a growth accelerator and a pillar of long-term resilience. It helps you stand out from the competition and adapt to changing markets.
