The components of this article reveal the relationship between innovation diffusion and territorial marketing in the context of the development of socio-economic systems to ensure the well-being of communities, cities, regions and countries. It has been proven that modern changes in the economic environment force each territory to take certain marketing measures in order to win the best positions in the economic, social and environmental spheres, including by spreading innovations and using its own uniqueness.

The authors investigate the marketing role of innovative diffusion in the context of the development of socio-economic systems based on the classification of forms, methods and types of this process, as well as by identifying the main groups of diffusers and their respective characteristics through the prism of the territorial aspect.
