Abstract: Traditionally, the concept of innovation has been associated to the world of technologies and has been analyzed in an individual or entrepreneurial context. This paper proposes that innovation is embedded in a much larger and multidimensional process. Certainly, the innovation is a technologic one, but it is also a social one. Analyzing an innovation implies considering social, technical, economical and cultural resources mobilized by individual and collective actors. All those elements of the social innovation process are temporally and territorially located, which represent two dimensions of what the authors call ?socio-territorial innovation?.
