Abstract

The study of regional development has been receiving special attention from researchers. Entrepreneurship, clusters, innovation, universities and KIBS (Knowledge Intensive Business Services) are areas of knowledge having demonstrated a leading role in contributing to regional development and, specifically, in the study of location theories of firms. This research aims to identify which factors influence the location of technology-based firms. In order to achieve this objective, an empirical study was developed based on a questionnaire completed by 203 technology-based firms located in the region of Beira Interior (Portugal). Results indicated the possibility of identifying key factors influencing the location of these firms. These factors are of behavioral, institutional and neoclassical nature. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
