Abstract: The article refers to the issue of innovation and economic cooperation between small and mediumsized enterprises. The authors attempt to assess the extent to which different types of innovations are generated by specific sources and to check the impact of economic cooperation of enterprises on the innovation process. The basic types of innovation were presented: product innovation, process innovation, organizational innovation and marketing innovation, followed by a brief verification of the sources through which they are created. A little more space was devoted to economic cooperation, which especially affects the innovative processes introduced by SMEs. Then, the results of 786 companies from Mazowieckie Voivodship were presented, which verified five hypotheses about the relationship between types of innovation and sources of innovation, with a particular emphasis on economic cooperation.
