International mobility of highly skilled
The international mobility of highly skilled individuals plays an important role in shaping national innovation systems. It is widely acknowledged that mobile talent contributes to the creation and diffusion of knowledge, particularly tacit knowledge as it is often shared through direct personal. Business and academia seek out abroad for specific knowledge or abilities or for drawing upon an expanded pool of talents. They also create or integrate international knowledge networks through their foreign staff. For talented individuals, mobility provides a means to exploit opportunities abroad, overcome barriers and resource constraints experienced at home, and fulfil their vocations.
