We analysed the data to investigate the relation between factors that define cross-border business interaction and innovativeness. Therefore, we operationalized thirty-five factors which potentially influence cross-border business interaction through a survey in European cross-border regions.Additional data was collected describing the role of the cross-border institutions.
