Abstract: The development of innovativeness in small and medium enterprises (SME) is one of the main indicators of their competitiveness. The companies that do not carry out innovative activity are not capable of taking advantage of market opportunities or meet strong competition. The market is one of the key factors determining the possibility to introduce innovative solutions in the SME. These companies more and more frequently undertake measures that are aimed at increasing their capability to create innovative products or organisational solutions. The most important role (in this process) is played by support institutions system.
