Abstract
This research provides a new theoretical approach to innovation. Innovation relies on collaborative
relationships between universities, private companies and public administration. This theoretical approach offers
an opportunity for scientific discovery in an environment of collaboration. Innovative ideas are not self-contained
items; they are more like ecosystems and networks. The article also provides data processed in recent
years (2003–2009) for the European Union states, providing relevant empirical evidence on the relationship between
human capital, relational capital, technological capital and innovation. In the econometric and statistical
modelling, the countries of the Europe of the Fifteen (EU-15) will be considered.
