Summary/Abstract: The article presents research results referring to the transformations occurring in the European regional space regarding Output type of innovation. The research covered 265 European regions at NUTS 2 level, in the period of 1999-2008. The following characteristics were accepted in the course of Output innovation analysis: HIT – workers employed in high and mid-tech industry (as % of workforce); EPO – patents registered in the European Patent Office (EPO) per 1 million of workforce; HIT 2 – share of workers employed in high and midtech industry in the overall number of workforce in industry sector. The classification of European regional space was performed by means of positional classification, which distinguished four classes of regions and grouped them according to different levels of their properties values at two observation moments. The analysis was supplemented by capital regions. The evaluation was also performed with reference to changes occurring in Polish regional space.
