Abstract

The role of regions as engines of economic development and growth has been widely recognized in recent years, and abundant documentation now exists of many of the successful economic examples of this phenomenon in different parts of the world. Critical elements of the economic success of regions depends on the capabilities of the local level to upgrade its productive structures and to generate, diffuse, and apply knowledge in the production of highly innovative and knowledge-intensive products and services. Accelerating technological change and moving up the technological ladder, from low to high value-added industries is a prerequisite for sustaining economic competitiveness. These industries create good jobs, expand production and trade, and drive continuous innovation. It is therefore not surprising that most developed economies increase their share of knowledge and research-intensive industries such as biotechnology, ICT, advanced manufacturing, and advanced business services.
