  abstract = {The paper aims to identify and systematise meso environmental regional factors stimulating innovativeness of enterprises. Based on analyses of subject literature and own experience, the author distinguishes five main groups of regional conditions of innovativeness: financial (1) and advisory (2) support from local authorities, stimulation of cooperation between economic entities in the given region (3), development and reinforcement of intangible (4) and tangible (5) assets of the region. 27 regional factors were assessed as part of these groups with surveys sent to representative samples of enterprises in Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Silesian voivodeships. Of these five groups, the greatest impact on innovativeness of enterprises comes from the development and reinforcement of tangible and intangible assets of the region, while the surveyed believe financial support for regional entities to be of least importance, with the exception of aid for investment in permanent assets. The research conclusions presented in the article may be helpful for enterprises seeking to grow, business support institutions, and local authorities seeking to develop an effective innovation policy.},
