Abstract: El documento presenta los resultados de un estudio de caso cuyo objetivo general es saber si la presencia del capital social tipo bridging (de <>) y del capital social tipo bonding (de union), actuando conjuntamente, pueden estimar la innovacion empresarial a nivel regional, y de que modo se articulan ambos tipos de capital social para lograr esto. Se analiza la region catalana del Priorat, especificamente las innovaciones empresariales en el sector vitivinicola registradas durante la decada de los noventa. Los resultados de la investigacion verifican la posibilidad empirica de que ambas formas de capital social, articuladas eficazmente, actuen conjuntamente para promover la innovacion a nivel local y regional. The paper presents the results of a case study that aims to investigate whether the presence of both bridging and bonding social capital, acting together, can stimulate entrepreneurial innovation at a regional level, as well as the manner in which both types of social capital interact to reach this result. This will be done through the analysis of the Catalan region of Priorat, and more specifically the entrepreneurial innovations of the region's wine sector experienced in the decade of the '90s. The research findings confirm the empirical possibility that both forms of social capital, if articulated effectively, can work together to promote local and regional innovation.
