The paper attempts to evaluate the innovative performance of Slovak regions over the years 2010-2014 by using the selected indicators of innovative performance. The innovation performance of the Slovak regions we evaluated in terms of the following indicators: creation or substantial improvement of new materials, products, equipment; creation of new processes, technological procedures, systems and services or substantial improvement; publications and cita tions; patents and utility models. The variable standardized method was employed to evaluate the innovation performance of the Slovak regions. The innovation performance of the Slovak regions was changing continually. In 2010, 2011 and 2013 the highest innovation performance was in Trnava region, in 2012 in Bratislava region, in 2014 in Trencin region. A signifi cantly below the average of innovation performance was found in Prešov region. (original abstract)
