description This article analyzes the performance of two important states of Colombia in terms of Science, Technology and Innovation, STI. To achieve this, a descriptive-analytical methodology is used and a comparative analysis, or benchmarking, is implemented between the Regional Innovation System, RIS, from Santander and the RIS from Antioquia. This work aims not only to contribute to the creation of a current perspective of the RIS studied, but also to guide through the strengths and weaknesses to a creation and design of policies or programs that encourage the processes of generation and dissemination of knowledge in the state of Santander. The results show that Santander presents a significant lag in terms of STI with respect to Antioquia. This is a reflection of the limited participation of the productive sector in the strengthening of innovation capabilities, unequal participation of stakeholders in initiatives of STI, and low levels of Activities of Investment in Science, Technology, and Innovation. It is recommended that Santander works on some important aspects to achieve better results in the processes of innovation in all the state.

Este artículo analiza el actuar de dos importantes departamentos de la República de Colombia en materia de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, CTI. Para ello, se utiliza un enfoque metodológico de tipo analítico-descriptivo y se implementa un análisis comparativo o benchmarking entre los Sistemas Regionales de Innovación, SRI, de Santander y Antioquia. Este trabajo pretende, además de contribuir a la construcción de una perspectiva actual de los SRI estudiados, orientar mediante la identificación de fortalezas y debilidades, el diseño y creación de políticas o programas que impulsen los procesos de generación y difusión del conocimiento en el departamento de Santander. Los resultados muestran que Santander presenta un rezago importante en materia de CTI con respecto a Antioquia, esto como reflejo de la limitada participación del sector productivo en el fortalecimiento de las capacidades de innovación, la desigual participación de los actores en iniciativas de CTI y los bajos niveles de inversión en Actividades de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación. Se recomienda que Santander trabaje en algunos aspectos fundamentales para la consecución de mejores resultados en los procesos de innovación departamental.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2016-07-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/investigacion_duitama/article/view/4088 10.19053/20278306.v7.n1.2016.4088 Revista de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2016): Julio-Diciembre; 11-24 Revista de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2016): Julio-Diciembre; 11-24 2389-9417 2027-8306 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/investigacion_duitama/article/view/4088/4697 Derechos de autor 2016 REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN, DESARROLLO E INNOVACIÓN
