Abstract: The location of economic activity, in general, and the ones of business excellence (high-tech or knowledge-intensive businesses that have a low environmental impact), in particular, is not dependent on one single factor, but rather on a series of economic, geographical, social and political variables. The aim of this article is to design a composite index for assessing the capacity to attract this kind of economic activity for small areas. As a case study, we have calculated this index for 26 of the main municipalities in the province of Barcelona (Spain).
