Abstract

Everything that is produced through the natural and social resources of a given region or place comes to represent its material culture and population behaviours. The present work intends to highlight the importance of a regional sustainable development based on local natural resources and skills, exposing, in a bibliographical research, the point of view of several authors on regional innovation or entrepreneurship initiatives, with applicability in regions of low growth, highlighting the important role of cooperativism and inclusion or even a time that shows culture. At the end of it, it is intended to understand if social design and its benefits can be synonymous of innovation and regional value, greater visibility, identity, economic growth and a way to create new products with a view to the global market.
