Abstract

This chapter discusses the relationship between inclusion and technological changes in the context of territorial development in all of its dimensions (social, economic, sustainable, and technological). In this context, the chapter aims to understand innovation processes used in rural territories, mainly those that are less developed. The regional innovation systems (RIS) approach is used to underline the collective nature and importance of learning networks in regions. Inclusiveness is another important element in this discussion in terms of the problems caused by exclusion and the opportunities offered by inclusion. Arguably, less innovative regions can make progress in inclusive innovation by relying on their cultural heritage. Empirically, this study shows an innovative experience in Amiais Village (Portugal), a rural territory, that unites tradition and informatics (internet of things).
