Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between the support provided for research and development (R&D) within the scope of the investment incentive system and innovation registration on the basis of spatial differences, taking into account regional development differences. In this direction, an empirical evaluation is made to reveal whether the level of incentives provided for R&D and the level of innovation in Turkey on the basis of 81 provinces differ in the context of socio-economic development level. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that 81 provinces are divided into five clusters.
