Abstract

This chapter raises the question of whether or not and to what extent the structure of industrial activity generates externalities that influence a given region’s innovative activity in high-tech industries. The previous chapter has shown that for the high-tech sector, a home region’s knowledge sourcing is very important along with university-industry collaboration. Apart from the universities’ role in R&D and knowledge diffusion, the home region’s productive system has a crucial influence on regional innovative potential as a whole. Furthermore, firms and R&D institutions are not isolated in their innovation activities but are highly dependent on their external business environment at the sector and regional levels. Therefore, the following chapter tries to take into account the overall productive structure and dynamic externalities in order to analyze a region’s potential for innovation activity and technological change.
