Overview

The study finds no significant innovation clustering in Quito's ICT sector, suggesting innovative capacities rely on institutional linkages and organizational capabilities.

Key Points

  • Innovative capacities in Quito's ICT sector are primarily driven by organizational capabilities, not geographical location.
  • Spatial autocorrelation analysis using Moran's Index revealed random patterns in innovation across firms and institutions.
  • Few clusters identified are located outside traditional economic hubs, indicating a shift in how innovation occurs.
  • The findings challenge assumptions of spatial dependence and highlight the need for policies that enhance innovation networks.
