GIROLIMO, Ulises  y  DIEZ, José Ignacio. Institutional Networks for the Development of Knowledge-Intensive Sectors. The Software Sector in Bahía Blanca. Territ. [online]. 2023, n.49, pp.1-.  Epub 11-Ene-2024. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.11695.

In recent decades, different countries have incorporated the global production of software due to outsourcing and offshoring processes, the availability of human resources, the implementation of sectoral policies, etc. At a sub-national level, the development of the software sector is related to the trajectories and actions of the stakeholders from a local innovation system. The article analyzes the links between the software sector actors in Bahía Blanca between 2003 and 2018. Its purpose is to contribute to the studies of institutional networks to promote knowledge-intensive sectors at the local level. The methodology combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to identify institutional contacts and analyze the projects designed between different institutions. The results suggest that the interactions are intense, but the projects developed by the institutions require greater articulation. This could be solved if they agreed on a strategic perspective for developing the sector in the city.

Palabras clave : Institutional networks; technological innovation; regional and local development; local innovation systems; public policy; software; IT services.
