Abstract: This chapter contributes to the understanding of technology adoption and innovation in peripheral regions, with a specific focus on Poland. It addresses the challenges faced by these regions, including insufficient support from state institutions, limited investment capital, and infrastructural inefficiencies. Despite these barriers, this chapter identifies several development opportunities. Overall, we observed that local companies are demonstrating adaptability to new technologies and leveraging local scientific communities, indicating a promising technological future. This chapter highlights the importance of evidence-based policies that consider regional needs and capabilities. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between local governments, businesses, academic institutions, and community organizations to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation. By providing insights into the strategies and initiatives that can enhance technological development in peripheral regions, this chapter contributes to the literature on technology adoption and innovation in developing economies. The findings offer valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote economic growth and prosperity in peripheral areas.
