Preferred term

geography of innovation  

Definition

  • Geography of innovation is an expression used loosely within the contexts of innovation management and policy research, rather than an analytic concept with a consensual definition. The expression is, however, commonly used as suggested by Apiwat Ratanawaraha and Karen P. Polenske in the sense of showing how innovation may be spatially distributed or concentrated.The term can be related to both so-called high-tech ventures and low- and medium-tech industrial processes.
