Abstract

The internationalization of KIBS is an opportunity to acquire new knowledge, which can, in turn, lead to the creation of innovative, highly impactful solutions for manufacturing processes. This article uses Input-Output tables to empirically explore the evolution of the demand in the knowledge intensive services sector and the expansion of KIBS to external markets ‘pushed’ by the manufacturing sector. The findings related to the association between KIBS exports and the intensity of activity in particular KIBS typologies, such as TKIBS in the Basque Country, would suggest that a virtuous «innovation-internationalization» circle exists.
