Abstract

The World Economic Forum (WEF) defines competitiveness as the set of institutions, policies and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country (World Economic Forum, 2017), that is to say, to be a country with the capacity to promote the welfare of its inhabitants and the productivity, because through this it is achieved to improve the levels of income and thus the quality of life. Therefore, the national competitiveness system in the year 2006 proposed as a goal to make Colombia the third most competitive country in Latin America for the year 2032, that is why year by year the Private Council of competitiveness in support of the University of Rosario has taken care of the measurement and qualification of the indices of competitiveness both at national and departmental level , in which the territorial competitiveness is evaluated from ten pillars, which are grouped in three factors: i) basic conditions, II) efficiency, and III) sophistication and innovation. The basic conditions factor comprises six pillars: institutions, infrastructure, market size, basic and middle education, health and environmental sustainability. For its part, the efficiency factor consists of two pillars: higher education and training, and market efficiency. At the same time, the sophistication and innovation factor is made up of the pillars of sophistication and diversification, and innovation and business dynamics. The ten pillars of the IDC are built from the calculation of 94 hard variables. (Private Council of Competitiveness, S.F.) The goal's governance is to occupy position 9 ° in the departmental competitiveness index, hence the importance of the action of the Regional Commission on Competitiveness and Innovation and the management of economic studies and public policies that are responsible for promoting projects, programmes and initiatives that generate productive chains aligned to competitiveness.
