Most surveyed enterprises made the technological innovations, and the process innovation was made of them. The vast majority of SMEs with technological innovations associate this activity with the acquisition of machines, equipment and software. The analysis of the statistical array of information indicates that most SMEs do not want to innovate because of the low demand and innovation, low competition and lack of real ideas and opportunities.
