This paper uses composite indicators for an international comparison that shows Hungary's NUTS–2 regions to be in an unfavourable position on the regional innovation map of Europe. Then follows a deeper analysis of Hungarian LAU-1 sub-regions, showing that these are rather polarized within the country in terms of regional innovation capability. Finally, the authors draw on international case studies to underline that regional innovation policy practices are important catch-up components.
