Spanish term

donde los haya

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Government / Politics PYMES
I'm stuck on how to put this ("if ever there was" sounds too chatty IMO).
"En esta economía el talento, de la denominada clase creativa, y la creatividad (intangible *donde los haya*) se convierten en los factores de crecimiento y competitividad territorial."

My final solution: "In this economy, talent, of the kind designated creative, and creativity (definitively intangible) become the key factors of territorial competitiveness and growth."
Adriana Penco Sep 27, 2007:
I know you've closed, but anyway... I'd go with "wherever they are/are found", because they are actual, they exist and are the reasons for growth ... And it's intangibleS.
neilmac (asker) Sep 27, 2007:
Sorry folks I don't like any of the suggestions, I'll work something out myself. Thanks anyway for your time and help.

unquestionably / beyond dispute

Hi Neil,

I think that's what they're getting at - if there's anything intangible, that's creativity.

Good luck!
