Sumario:Despite the growing relevance of KIBS in the global context, we still know little about how they internationalise, and creative KIBS, in particular, have received little attention. This study explores the barriers creative KIBS may face in their internationalisation. Using a case study approach, we compare empirical data from a project carried out in the Basque Country to support the internationalisation of C-KIBS with an existing theoretical framework that classifies export barriers. Our findings include new insights into the difficulties C-KIBS face in their internationalisation, and how the theoretical framework needs to be adapted. As such, we contribute to extending knowledge of the internationalisation of CKIBS, refining the theory by adapting an existing framework, and providing useful insights for managers and policy makers.
