Abstract
Sustainability, local development and regional development are crucial issues in our days. A success factor for the above is the micro innovation of the micro enterprise. In the present chapter, we are going to focus on the southern European Union area and more specifically in the case of Greece. The development of innovative small and medium enterprises in the Greek regions (with emphasis on the region of Crete) is going to be the key element of sustainability, local development and regional development.
