Studies on the knowledge society and regional innovation systems and their contribution to economic growth are already well established in research literature. This research is based on geographical analysis of linkage between technological knowledge, competitiveness factors and economic effects. It proceeds from the hypothesis that economic effectiveness in a region originates from the quality of human capital, in which innovations are the precondition for social progress, competitiveness and developmental success. Research focuses on the geographical distribution of developmental generators, which often cause regional disparities. Goal of the project is to analyze the spatial distributin of the knowledge society in Slovenia based on technical and technological, economic geographical and regional geographical indicators.
