Eric Vaz, Teresa de Noronha, Purificación Vicente‐Galindo, Peter Nijkamp · 2014 · Entrepreneurship and Regional Development

Summary. This paper analyzes innovation support systems across three Portuguese regions by mapping institutional innovation profiles and regional clustering patterns. Using principal coordinates analysis and Logistic Biplot methods, the authors created a typology of innovation structures showing that institutional profiles and regional innovation patterns are region-specific. The findings demonstrate significant differences in how regions organize their innovation support, offering practical tools for policymakers and businesses to understand and design regional innovation systems.
