Abstract
This paper looks at innovation processes in industrial SMEs from the point of view of so-called «interactive learning» or Lundvall's Aalborg model. The paper is based on both qualitative (47 semi-structured interviews) and quantitative (phone survey of 147 firms) empirical fieldwork carried out in the Basque province of Gui- puzcoa (Northern Spain). The empirical evidence shows that industrial SMEs from that region innovate in accordance with the «DUI mode» ( doing, using, interacting ), and that they are far from the «STI mode» (science, technology, innovation).
