Came across this chart the other day. 🔹 On the public side - some improvement in trend, but definitely much more to do on R&D to get to best practices (from 0.43% to 2-4%)  🔹 On the private economy side, R&D and innovation is to a large extent done by Startups, Tech and Pharma. In Armenia’s case, no numbers available, but Startups 🚀 & Tech is probably 100% of R&D and innovation spending. Much to do, but should be a good base to start from 🙂
