In this chapter we look at the global network of innovative agglomerations, with a focus on their degree of internationalization and on the actors behind it – particularly high-skilled migrants. Using worldwide patent  and  publication  geo-localized  data,  we  identify  all  Global  Hotspots  of  Innovation  (GIHs)  and  Niche  Clusters  (NCs)  worldwide,  and  study  their  success  as  a  function  of  their  international  connections.  In  particular,  we  compare  organizational  ones,  such  as  international  collaborations  orchestrated by multinational firms’ collaborations, to personal ones, which may derive from migration to/from  the  GIHs  and  NCs.  We  find  a  strong  role  of  the  latter,  always  comparable  and  sometimes  larger than the former.< Leer menos
