      abstract = {In this paper we exploit a unique and rich dataset of  patent applications and scientific publications in order to  answer several questions concerned with two current  phenomena on the way knowledge is produced and shared  worldwide: its geographical spread at the international  level and its spatial concentration in few worldwide  geographical hotspots. We find that the production of  patents and scientific publications has spread  geographically to several countries, and has not kept  within the traditional knowledge producing economies  (Western Europe, Japan and the U.S.). We observe that part  of this partial geographical spread of knowledge activities  is due to the setting up of Global Innovation Networks,  first toward more traditional innovative countries, and  then towards emerging economies too. Yet, despite the  increasing worldwide spread of knowledge production, we do  not see the same spreading process within countries, and  even we see some increased concentration in some of them.  This may have, of course, important distributional  consequences within countries. Moreover, these selected  areas also concentrate a large and increasing connectivity,  within their own country to other hotspots, and across  countries through Global Innovation Networks.},
