    Este artículo analiza los determinantes individuales del emprendimiento tecnológico en Suramérica y si difieren de aquellos que impulsan el emprendimiento convencional. Con esto se contribuye a la comprensión de las nuevas empresas de base tecnológica (nebt) en pro de su impulso para fomentar en la región economías que se basen en la innovación. Utilizando modelos de regresión logística y los datos del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (gem) para 2011, se ha encontrado que la situación laboral, la renta, las habilidades y el conocimiento determinan el emprendimiento de nuevos negocios, y que el género, el nivel de estudios y la edad del emprendedor determinan que un negocio sea de base tecnológica.

    This paper analyses the individual determinants of technological entrepreneurship and whether they differ from those of the conventional entrepreneurship in South America. This paper contributes to the understanding of New Technology-Based Firms (nebts) to foster innovation-based economies in the region. Using logit models and the data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (gem) 2011, we find that employment status, income, perceived skills and meeting an entrepreneur are driving forces for entrepreneurship. However the gender, age and studies exclusively impact on technological entrepreneurship.
