摘要

The regional cohesion policies of the European Union, endowed with significant funding, are intended to reduce economic differences between regions and to improve general economic well-being. Among them, intelligent specialization was established as a strategy for territorial development, closely linked to innovation processes. The central question that is now approached is whether specialization strategies, in particular with regard to ICT-digital economy, are coherent and aligned with economic activity in those fields. To do so, data on bibliometric indicators of scientific production in this field were selected, in terms of both volume and quantity, collaboration, and data on economic activity from the field and its importance for GDP. The study involves data from 423 European universities with minimum production levels of ICT-digital economy over the past decade, with which a ranking of production may be established in this field and clusters of European universities identified on the basis of the bibliometric indicators. The degree of coherency between scientific production in ITC-digital economy of Spanish regions and their economic activity was analyzed, as well as the importance that one or another region may have with regard to the national total. Significant disparities between regions could be identified between their research and their economic activity, which in turn provided valuable information for reworking their specialization strategies.
