The article presents an overview of intangible investment for the Mexican economy over the last three decades. The series is estimated using an international methodological standard based on the principle of the existence of intangible expenditures, which will not disappear in the production process of a commodity. The results obtained are consistent with international studies. Intangible investment is transversal to the economy and has an average long-term growth rate twice as high as that observed in tangible investment; software is the sector with the most dynamic growth. A pattern of spatial agglomeration of investment is also observed, which responds to the dynamics of the industrial base and the tourism sector in the different metropolitan areas.
