<!-- Abstract -->
Innovation becomes increasingly important for global competition.
        Innovation is a cumulative and interactive process that builds on externalities,
        thus enhancing spatial concentration and discriminating against latecomers.
        Yet technological upgrading is a gradual process, and latecomers may specialize
        on factor cost advantages and subsequently increase their knowledge content.
        Success mainly depends on socio-political capabilities to govern technological
        change.
