O sector terciário ocupa nas economias actuais um papel preponderante no desenvolvimento competitivo. Aqueles que o consideravam, no que respeita a inovação, como o sector vagaroso da economia, observaram o surgimento de um grupo de serviços com características semelhantes às das indústrias de alta tecnologia, com o privilégio de verificarem que, para além de inovadores, são também importantes elementos de interligação entre agentes económicos, permitindo quer a difusão quer a criação de novo conhecimento na economia. Esse grupo de serviços, que se denominou de serviços intensivos em conhecimento, tem vindo a desenvolver-se em Portugal, aproximando-se de forma gradual, ainda que com algum caminho a percorrer, de um conjunto de países mais avançados. Este desenvolvimento verificou-se, no entanto, de forma desigual ao nível de distribuição espacial, tendo-se identificado fenómenos de concentração regional em torno de algumas das regiões mais desenvolvidas: Grande Lisboa e Grande Porto. Condicionados pelas limitações estatísticas, procedeu-se ainda à estimação de modelos econométricos de dados seccionais, que com um carácter ainda muito exploratório, se verificou que o desempenho destes sectores em Portugal está essencialmente relacionado com fenómenos de qualificação de recursos humanos e da densidade destes sectores numa dada região.
The tertiary sector plays a lead role in the competitive development of contemporary economies. Innovation wise, those who originally considered it the economy's slowest sector, later recognised the emergence of an integrated group of services that shared similar characteristics with the high-tech industries, whereby in addition to being innovative, also became important bridging elements of economic factors, paving the way for the creation and distribution of new knowledge within the economies. Later known as Knowledge Intensive Business Services, this faction grew strongly in Portugal, gradually catching up - even if still in its infancy today - with other more advanced countries, however it soon became evident that it's geographic and spatial distribution was regionally disproportionate, tending to concentrate mostly around the more developed areas of Greater Lisbon and Greater Oporto. Restrictions imposed by statistical limitations lead to the development of cross-sectional econometric models and the information obtained from early exploratory phases estimated that the performance of these sectors in Portugal is still today intimately related to the categorisation of the human resources and the density of these sectors within a given region.
