Abstract
Geographical areas with a consistent delay in development are characterized by a set of extremely weak links among the places where technical and scientific knowledge are produced, i.e. Universities, Research Centres, innovative large companies, etc., and the places where this knowledge might be utilized, i.e. local SMEs, local Public Administration, etc. (Corti, 1997).
