Desde sus inicios El trasegar de Colciencias en la promoción de la innovación

Abstract

"While, Colombian government has defined innovation as a milestone for improving the country's competitiveness and productivity and it is reflected on its agenda. It is no less true that such consideration has been taken into account since the early Colciencias activities, in such a way that with the passing of the years has been shaped and gradually strengthening a National Innovation System (NIS). That process raises several questions such as: What have been the policies and its scope and focus? What have been the inputs for design these policies? What have been the mechanisms for management the process, the activities and the actors of the NIS? Who have been the actors of the NIS? The aim of this chapter is to show the Colombian National Innovation using a System Viable approach. The main results of this analysis are that the process is longstanding, has been gaining in institutional and governance and that although the purposes are generally related to the articulation and coordination of the actors, this is in turn its great weakness."
