Supporting innovation and production development is fundamental to compete in global economies. Innovation is gaining momentum in Latin America, and many countries in the region are involved in designing and implementing better policies to promote it for a more inclusive and sustainable growth. Over the last decade, many countries in Latin America have strengthened their institutional capacities for innovation policies. However, public investment is still very limited and the commitment of the private sector to invest in innovation is still low.
