Since then, Lebak has been incorporated in Underdeveloped Regencies List as one that has escaped from the underdeveloped condition. This study uses a descriptive approach through interviews and secondary data collection. The results of this study showed that in 2021, there were two process innovations and one product innovation carried out in the context of accelerating the development of Lebak Regency as an eradicated area.
