In the current learning economy, the networks between companies are spaces of sharing tacit knowledge, associated to the 'learning by doing', accentuating learning as a localized process that takes place through interaction and social imbrication, consolidating these productive territories as the most adequate to promote the generation, acquisition and diffusion of innovation. On the other hand, the tacit knowledge is disseminated on the territory of arrangements and productive systems through the channels of cooperation that are based on the sharing of cultural values. This essay, when considering the learning modalities and the analysis of the knowledge that comes generated and disseminated in the networks of innovation, aims at articulating concepts and theoretical schemes that will be able to act as guidelines to acknowledging the complex phenomenon of learning and of innovation in a structured organization, but informal as a territorial arrangement or productive system. Ultimately, it is considered that this discussion on the capacity of innovation and production of collective intelligence in the productive territories has made possible the re-orientation in the formulation of public policies that favor local development.
