Abstract: Literature on regional innovation systems (RIS) points to the importance of the knowledge network inside the RIS. Empirics have shown the importance of certain pivotal actors for the RIS, however, their identification differs from case to case due to the different embeddedness of the actors to the knowledge network. This paper traces these influential actors for the Trentino information and communication technologies (ICT) innovation system, by analysing its knowledge network, for understanding their contribution to the resilience of the network. The local knowledge network is developed around a tightly knit core of key actors, whose malfunction would raise several issues for knowledge management and funding.
