Abstract

Las inversiones en actividades de ciencia, tecnología e innovación son indicadores de desarrollo y competitividad para los países. La presente investigación pretende describir y analizar las inversiones en actividades de ciencia, tecnología e innovación realizadas por Colombia y Ecuador entre 2010 y 2014, anos marcados por la bonanza petrolera. Para ello se realizó una metodología de corte cuantitativa y exploratoria, por medio de una revisión documental y sistemática de informes oficiales, Durante el periodo estudiado se realizaron inversiones en maestría y doctorado para la formación de personal, especialmente en Ecuador, mientras que en Colombia la producción bibliográfica fue en aumento. Por otro lado, en Colombia solo se registraron un total de 806 patentes, frente a 2709 registradas del vecino país. Sin embargo, a Colombia se le concedieron un total de 2674 patentes en disenos industriales, mientras que, a Ecuador, solo le fueron concedidos 764. Asimismo, se identificó que la inversión privada en las actividades de ciencia, tecnología e innovación aún es baja y que se pueden fortalecer también las inversiones provenientes de otros sectores. Estos estudios ayudan a visibilizar los enfoques de las inversiones realizadas, y representan una oportunidad para observar cómo los países han concentrado sus esfuerzos hacia la generación de nuevo conocimiento. Se hacen necesarios estudios de impacto para evaluar cómo estas inversiones han apoyado a los países a ser más
