Abstract: Since the importance of innovation as a means of industrial development and economic growth has been emphasized, the region has played a key role as an appropriate spatial unit of innovation policy and a spatial scope in which connections and exchanges between innovators are more active. However, the rapidly changing industrial environment requires to redefine the direction of regional innovation policies and rethink their design. The main purpose of this study is to derive implications for promoting interaction between innovators and suggest policy directions. For this, we identify innovation networks in each region, analyze the status and characteristics of interactions in the networks, and diagnose the structure of relationships among innovation actors.
