Perception of International Peer Reviewers on the contribution of awarded projects (Call for Proposals 2014 and 2015)
However, when compared to industrialized countries it can be observed a large difference in the portion assigned to R&D.
Strategies for innovation investment is similar to the other countries in the region

Level of Product Innovation
(*) Results from Innovation Survey (2013) Only 36% of reported product innovation were new to the national and
international market.
Firm level innovation is consistent with large proportion of acquisition of
equipment as an innovation strategy
Business that innovated also relied on
universities, R&D Labs, patent and specialized data bases, although still in a very small proportion.

Main obstacle, according to respondents, is the lack of public policies that stimulates
external), as well as scarce competent personnel for innovation activities and management (both within the firms as well as within the market)

(*) This is an example. For each strategic objective, a list of initiatives (instruments) have been defined, some of them are undergoing, but some still need to be funded
PROCIENCIA (2014-2019): a 125 MUSD focused on R&D
Personnel
DeTIEC (2010-2016) : a 6.6 MUSD program focused on
PROINNOVA (2017-2021): a 10 MUSD focused on
with focus on SMEs (culture and needs)
Other Initiatives underway
Evaluation of supported innovation projects and incubators National survey of R&D Equipment
Low R&D investment as compared to the region and OCDE
countries
R&D results on socioeconomic objectives are aligned with
country’s needs but must be monitored to gain effectiveness and improve support from society, including enterprises
Very low connection between Universities/Research Centers
and Enterprises
Level of product innovation in private sector must be
improved to increase firm and country competitiveness
Role of CONACYT as an articulator among STI institution
needs to be strengthen
Public policy and STI instruments need to focus on few but
effective sectors, both in productive and social areas
