How to read it

  • The median is the middle contract value in each country, so a few very large contracts do not move it. Nominal US dollars: the AI Index does not say the figures are adjusted for inflation.
  • Values are awarded contract amounts from EU public tenders (TED) and UK procurement sources.
  • All 28 countries in the data are shown.
