This goal of this paper is to analyze the role of gatekeepers on the local and external international knowledge networks in science parks. In particular, this research is an exploratory study that has firstly tried to deepen on the characteristics of knowledge gatekeepers inside a science park. The empirical study on Parque Científico de Madrid shows that gatekeepers are spin-offs from universities, they have central positions in the local knowledge network, have strength relationships and their main direct contacts in the knowledge network are new exports firms. Finally, we have confirmed that these firms are more innovative on products and process, as well as on commercial and organizational issues
