摘要：Purpose: In this study, we aimed to expose the innovative capacity of regional innovation systems within the framework of Turkey NUTS-2 regions. Methodology: A large data set including 7 main components, 17 subcomponents and 58 indicators in total, which constitute the innovation input and output components for 2014-2018, has been prepared. The data obtained were analyzed by normalization method. As a result of the analysis, the overall innovation index score value and the index values of the innovation efficiency were calculated. Findings: The findings provide an opportunity to evaluate and compare the innovation capacity of the regions. As a result of the general innovation index calculation, the region with the highest score is TR10, while the lowest region is TRA2. In the event score value, TR31 region has the highest score and TRC3 region has the lowest score value. Practical Implications: Index calculations provide predictions in designing innovation policies to many actors and policy makers who also play an active role in regions. Innovation is more important to increase the efforts to improve the indicators of the input and output components, or to use them more effectively. Originality: In the study, a comprehensive data set has been prepared in the innovation performance measurement indicators of NUTS2 regions and it is up-to-date as the latest available year data is used in all indicators.
