    Abstract

    This paper explores the effects of territorial systems on the knowledge and innovation processes of industries traditionally regarded as low-knowledge intensive, in this case the steel industry. The two regions chosen, The Hunter and Greater Western Sydney, both have a regional university, TAFE and other knowledge institutions from where transfer of innovation can be analysed as a potential core element of their territorial innovation system.
