Structural changes in the processes of socio-economic development, with consequent implications for economic growth, social and territorial cohesion, and the quality of democracy, flow into, currently, a society characterized by the growing importance of cognitive resources, the constant advancement of the information and communication technology (ICT) and the consequent change in the lives of the people and the firms and institutions. This society is often dubbed the Information and Knowledge Society, being a patent for a certain change what we called the Creative Society, which implies an increased capacity for learning and innovation, both for individuals and for institutions. The strategic analysis presented in this paper aims to attempt to understand the impact of ICT on these issues, taking into account the background, infrastructure and creation of knowledge itself (thus understanding ICT as a means and not as an end). In this paper the concept of network is discussed on several occasions and is implicit in all proposals: reference is made to the organization of space as a network of sectoral development and/or territorial, the social and economic networks in a given region, the networks of relationships emerging within the main urban centers, and networks of government partnerships as opposed to hierarchical models of structure of government. The network is therefore an alternative mechanism for activating and coordinating and not through the markets and hierarchies. 3. Over recent years, many have been the results of a similar reflections. 1. Thus, it integrates the reflection presented in the recent strategy document LigarPortugal and try not to repeat what has been said and acknowledged as important in this matter, but rather to understand how these objectives can be pursued more effectively and effective.
