Modelo de ecosistemas de Innovación, herramienta de alternativas frente a los efecto del covid-19 en Colombia

Abstract

Due to the health emergency caused by Covid-19, a series of havoc have been occurring that have affected the country socioeconomically and have forced the search for alternatives to provide solutions to the problems caused, which is why we propose a solution through the implementation of innovation ecosystems, since these provide us with opportunities for adaptation, development of ideas and research, creating solutions and alternatives for various social and business problems; all this thanks to the cooperation of different business, educational, government, scientific organizations, among others. On the other hand, it is not worth underestimating the different obstacles that arise when wanting to implement these innovation ecosystems in Colombia, such as: the financial ones that arise due to the lack of resources for the start-up of projects, the lack of ability to devise innovation projects that is due to lack of knowledge, the complications that companies present when placing products or services on the market and regulations due to the legal requirements of the country that prevent the spread of business. However, Colombia has begun to encourage innovation through different programs such as Innpulsa and ColCiencias and the implementation of the recommendations given by the private competitiveness council such as promoting knowledge, designing financial instruments to encourage good management of resources, encourage the cooperation of various companies for the creation of innovation and balance the technological and non-technological aspects, all this to help mitigate the obstacles mentioned above. This is why the innovation ecosystem model is a good alternative to help development, job creation and ideas that become reality through cooperative work models for the solution of problems that were accentuated due to the appearance of Covid-19.
