Teresa Maria Gamito, Lívia Madureira, José Manuel Lima e Santos · 2019 · Regional Science Policy & Practice

Summary. Rural areas possess diverse innovation resources that remain underutilized. This paper develops a typology of traditional and new rural resources—including natural and cultural amenities, traditions, and local populations—then analyzes Portuguese rural organizations to identify which resources drive innovation most effectively. The findings reveal that new rural resources and territorial characteristics significantly shape rural innovation patterns, offering guidance for designing targeted innovation policies and smart specialization strategies for neglected rural regions.
