State aid for R&D&I is one of governmental interventions which change companies’ behaviour from market-orientated to driven by government’s orders. Therefore there is an extended dispute between supporters of government interventions and free market economy believers. When seeking a golden solution we come across the concept of market failures, which proves the admissibility of public intervention, such as state aid. One of the exemptions in the field of public aid applies to state aid for research, development and innovation activities, which should assist and encourage the EU entrepreneurs to R&D&I activities. New guidelines on state aid for R&D&I substantially change conditions on admissible public support to entrepreneurs. Therefore, the aim of this article is to evaluate new directions of changes in assumptions, designated benefi ciaries and expected outcomes of state aid for research, development and innovation. On the basis of the research we can conclude that EU prefers to support R&D&I activities, which, at least partially, support the EU2020 goals and are expected to improve the availability of innovation techniques.

Competitiveness involves a variety of factors, however recently special attention has been paid to innovative solutions that have become crucial for the development of firms and economies. Due to the fact that there are many market failures identifi ed within research and development activities, many theorists, entrepreneurs and politicians accept granting R&D&I state aid to companies assuming that it should simultaneously contribute to the enhancement of innovation and, consequently, competitiveness of the EU economy. The paper is aimed at assessing the focus of state aid policy on research, development and innovation in the light of theory and practice (based on the recent experience). To this end we will analyse theoretical arguments for interventions supporting R&D activities, legal bases and criteria of admissibility for state aid for R&D&I, as well as, importance of R&D&I public aid in the EU Member States. The analysis of legal changes in conditions of admissibility of aid granted for research, development and innovation confirms that such aid belongs to the concept of improved economic competitiveness, also of the EU industry. However, like any government intervention, the aid should target only enterprises with real development potential and only when they are faced with market failures. As regards a position of state aid to R&D&I in public spending, remarkably, in the times of economic crisis more developed countries with higher GDP engaged more public budget resources into R&D&I activities.
