ABSTRACT

Studies on regional innovation systems in various geographical levels are
gradually increasing. The aim of this study is to reveal the importance of
region spatially in the development of innovative capacity.  By the regionalization of innovation
policies, needs of a specific region or company are exhibited more effectively
and it becomes easier to monitor and apply the precautions to be taken.
Creating a regional advantage starts with identifying the environments where
knowledge production, innovation and entrepreneurship actualise. From this
point of view Regional Innovation Systems (RIS) play a strategical role on
competitive ability and innovation ability of regions. Systematic malfunctions than can prevent
innovation system from operating efficiently can be in question. In this case
the intervention of the public need to focus on the malfunctions in the
relations, not to overall system.  In
this sense the regulatory role of the government needs to focus on
process-based issues such as developing regional knowledge infrastructure,
catalysing to access external knowledge sources, increasing the human capital
quality, supporting clusters, establishing networks among innovative actors and
supporting them.
