New phenomena can be activities, products, organisations or new human and community ways of behaviour. Likeall conscious human activities, regional development offers a large scope of new and original phenomena. In this way innovations can be examined from the following two aspects in the development on local levels: 1. as the appearance and diffusion of technical and technological innovations promoting local development, 2. as the innovation of development activities, including new, locally realised intervention that facilitate technical innovations.
