The article aims at transferring the European Creativity Index (ECI) assessment from the country to regional comparison basis, focusing on the case of Slovakia. The newly created Slovak Creativity Index (SCI) has the power to assess the creativity potential found in the Slovak regions. The Principal Component Analysis has been chosen as an advanced method for establishing a well-designed overall Index and six sub-indices to show differences and variability according to all dimensions of the creative potential. The research also explains several relations between creative performance of the regions by several factors such as urbanisation, cultural environment, human capital and tolerance.

The information and communication industry (ICT) has become more significant in the regional economic structure in the last two decades, having a notable impact on other industries. Although young in age, the number of firms or employees in the industry is considerable. Bathelt, Malmberg and Maskell (2004) and Trippl et al. (2009) have highlighted two different knowledge interactions within the ICT sector-local (i.e. local buzz) and trans-local (i.e. global pipelines). Furthermore, this knowledge interaction pattern can be different according to the size, economic structure and history of the cities/regions under consideration. The article is based on empirical research, focusing on the ICT sector knowledge interactions in the region of Eastern Slovakia. It highlights the pre-existing industry related basis of ICT, the importance of local and trans-local interactions, its social capital level as well as clustering potential.
