Further, it positions the South region, which, along the 20th century, was gradually growing, being possible to stand out, inclusively, the high investments made on the indicator of technological development, which is reflected on the economical performance.The result show that, according to the indications in the theory of regional system of innovation, there is a significant association between the indicators of basic and social infra-structure, technological development and economic development in the regions and states of Brazil. Moreover, in relation to the possibilities of the regions and states that are less developed to accomplish the catching up with those that are more developed, the variables that represent generation as does the appropriation og new technologies were found to be significant and directly related to the product.
