This publication contributes to the scholarly discourse on the interplay between circular economy frameworks and regional innovation strategies. By examining the relational dynamics and territorial embeddedness of smart specialisation approaches, the authors offer a nuanced analysis of how sustainability-driven economic models can be effectively anchored within specific regional contexts. The study provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in the design and implementation of sustainable regional development strategies.
