Abstract
The current paper aims at exploring innovation networking practices among the
members of two Producer Groups (PGs) in Ierapetra area, Crete. Results show that the
first PG’s members are better incorporated in the PG’s innovation network(s) as well
as that its leaders are conceived of as innovators. On the contrary, the innovation network
of the second PG is highly fragmented and dependent on the leaders of the first
PG. These results have implications in terms of the PGs’ innovation capacity as well as
of extension work, especially with a view to current developments in both Greece and
the EU.
