Top foreign research site for American multinational firms: United Kingdom.
In 2006, U.S.-based multinationals added $28.5 billion on R&D projects abroad to the $188 billion they spent in the United States. Meanwhile, foreign-based multinationals spent about $34.3 billion on research in the United States, up from $17 billion in 2007 and $30 billion in 2003. The United States' modest research 'surplus' seems fairly steady over time, varying between $3 billion and $7 billion since the late 1990s.
