Abstract: Territorial Innovation Models (TIMs) such as innovative milieus, industrial districts, regional innovation systems, etc. have developed since the mid-eighties in a context mostly driven by the crisis of the industrial regions. From that theoretical heritage, a new questioning based on Territorial Knowledge Dynamics addresses here conceptual changes and a possible new research agenda. The main assumption made in this paper is that, while learning processes in TIMs are mostly seen as « cumulative knowledge dynamics » driving to a local specialisation of production within a global environment (traditional local/global framework), today?s territorial knowledge dynamics are rather combinatorial, multi-local and multi-scalar. They develop through interactions between firms, regions, sectors, workers, etc. Different ideal types of TKDs are proposed from a relational and circulatory perspective where regional capacity of anchoring is presented as central.
