Purpose: The main aim of the study is to assess a correlation coefficient between the level of economic growth and innovativeness of the food industry enterprises in the European Union countries. Design/methodology/approach: The study period includes the years 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018. The conducted studies focus on three types of variables relating to innovativeness of the food industry enterprises. The Spearman’s rang correlations coefficient and its significance tests were used for the purpose of achieving the research aim. Findings: The study results revealed significant differences in the innovation level in the European Union. It was also indicated that there is a statistically significant correlation between the value of per capita GDP and the level of expenditure on internal research and development per one enterprise in all analysed years and the expenditure on purchase of machines, equipment and software calculated per one innovative enterprise in 2014 and 2016. Additionally, it should be stated that there is no connection between the level of economic situation in the European Union countries and the number of innovative food industry enterprises. Originality/value: The added value of the article is the answer to the question if there is a correlation between the economic development and the food industry innovativeness in the European Union countries.
