This article investigates the movement of deconcentration of the Goiás’s industry towards the interior, where it tends to remain concentrated in some new centers, with a polarized dynamics. The new industrial poles have different productive structures, with different polarization effects, degrees of territorialization and the ability to boost local and regional development. The article offers a typology that highlights these differences, classifying them into urban, agro-industrial, mineral-based and mixed industrials. This is an original contribution, very useful for thinking about the industrial deconcentration process, especially in less developed regions. The construction of the typology considers different dimensions of the centers, such as: type of agglomeration, predominant locational factors, degree of territorialization, integration with modern services, technological links, size and role in the urban network. Indicators were built for each dimension, using mainly data from RAIS and Finance Secretariat, giving indications for industrial policies at the sub-regional level. The main industrial Goiás’s poles were analyzed and classified according to the proposed typology: Goiânia and Anápolis as urban industrial poles; Rio Verde and Itumbiara as agro-industrial poles; Niquelândia as a mineral pole; and Catalan as a mixed pole. The role of agro-industrial poles was highlighted, once, as a result of their integration with local agriculture, create virtuous circuits that tend to spread around their surroundings. New technologies in the field of biotechnology and green chemistry allows advancement of these poles towards segments more knowledge and value intensive.
