(capital and technology) intensive


Explanation:
To me, it looks like 'intensivos' refers to the emerging economics sectors.

agree  Justin Peterson: This is a good option, and probably more concise than my suggestion, though I'd remove the hyphen from "capital-". I´ve never seen that punctuation before.
15 mins
  -> Yes, I agree, the hyphen for human capital was an error. Thanks, Justin.
agree  argosys: Your translation is in correct form. I'd prefer: "(human-capital and technology) intensive"

[with] heavy investments [in]


Explanation:
This helps to keep your original syntax. It would be appropriate if you consider 'investments' in the sense of time and energy as well as capital.
