Territorial competitiveness
Developing public innovation policies is key to developing regions
Through public science, technology and innovation policies focused on sustainability, we support regions and countries in their transformation processes. We promote the creation of quality jobs and new business models, the design of new governance models that affect territorial cohesion and competitiveness, and the attraction of investment and talent.
We develop the full cycle of public policies, from design and implementation to strategic project execution, monitoring and evaluation, with extensive experience in Latin America and Europe.
