Abstract

The article shows how regional smart specializations that are currently the most important tool of European innovation policy may be perceived, and if effective, should constitute innovative ecosystems. The article presents the concepts of smart specializations and innovative ecosystems. The concept of innovative ecosystems is presented from the perspective of its foundation and relations to other concepts and theories. Cooperation in innovation process by varied actors is considered the major feature of both smart specializations and innovative ecosystems. The results of research carried out by the authors showing the crucial role of cooperation in the innovation process for results in terms of innovation and competitiveness of firms as well as regional development are presented. These results also show that firms in smart specializations are more R&D&I intensive and more prone to cooperation than other companies and that smart specializations have positive effects on regional development. The applied methods are desk research and literature review as well as direct research based on a survey and econometric analysis of the results of the survey.
