The general aim of this research is to analyze the spatial behavior of technology intensive activities in the Brazilian´s micro regions between 2006 and 2010. For this purpose the study uses formal employment data from the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS). The dataset is organized in 676 classes of economic activities according to the National Classification of Economic Activities (NACE 2. 0) and covers the 558 Brazilian micro regions. The study performs the construction of a potential innovation indicator for each of the Brazilian micro-regions and verifies the correlations with indicators of productive specialization and regional economic performance. The results point out the existence of a relative concentration of technology-intensive activities in Brazil, primarily in the Southeast. The indicator of potential innovation presents a positive association with the local development. Finally, the micro regions with less specialized productive structures showed the greatest results in the potential innovation indicator.
