AB This paper examines the innovation processes of Small and MediumEnterprises (SMEs) in peripheral areas, particularly in the municipality of Guarda and in the islands of Sao Miguel and Santa Maria in the Azores. For this purpose, a survey was conducted, and three models were estimated: a "Logit" model, to measure the difference between firms that innovate and those that do not; a "Tobit" model, to measure the intensity of innovation; and a "Probit" model to analyze the type of innovation. The results show a positive relationship between the introduction of innovations in the market sector and the age and activity of the companies, an inverserelationship in regards to the size of the company and in relation to the region.
