Summary/Abstract: Innovations represent a significant factor of the competitiveness of regions. Their representatives are mainly the universities and research organisations. They are represented in the regions with varying intensity depending on the presence of good quality human resources. In article, we selected some factors that represent the innovation potential of the region. At the moment, economic efficiency is being examined, which is also represented by the group of factors. We focused on the Slovak region (NUTS3). Based on innovation potential assessment and economic efficiency evaluation, we set up their order. We applied point method. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to examine the relation between the values of the total sum of points of both evaluations. It is shown that the innovation potential is closely linked to the economic performance of regions.
