Abstract
This article investigates how age is related to innovation activity and innovation outcomes among firms in the

Norwegian manufacturing and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) sectors. It aims to shed new light on two

questions: (i) are young firms or old firms the most prolific innovators and (ii) are young firms more eager to innovate,

while old firms are more able to innovate. It makes use of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data and explores the

two questions using probit model regression techniques. The article concludes that firms are at their most prolific state

when they are neither young nor old – but mature. At this stage in their life cycle, firms are both eager and able to

introduce innovations.
