📋 Tender Overview
With strategic vision to 2030, Peru reaffirms its commitment to sustainable and competitive development through Polcti, an instrument that promotes investment in science, technology and innovation.Peru approved the National Policy of Science, Technology and Innovation to 2030 (Polcti), a roadmap that defines the guidelines, strategies and priorities to strengthen research, technological development and innovation in the country.
This was announced by the president of the Council of Ministers, Eduardo Arana, after completing the weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers. The head of the PCM stressed that with this plan Peru aspires to be placed as among the avant -garde and innovative countries of the world and that will benefit companies, and the State.
The Polcti, proposed by the National Council of Science, Technology and Innovation (Concytec), aims to increase national competitiveness and strengthen the role of science, technology and innovation (CTI) in solving the countrys economic, social and environmental problems. It promotes the generation of knowledge, the design and development of vanguard products and processes, and the strengthening of scientific and innovative abilities, with special attention to the improvement of the quality of life.
Standard scope
The POLCTI promotes the effective articulation between the academy, the research centers, the productive sector and the State, favoring the technological transfer and the strategic use of intellectual property. It represents a technical commitment to human talent, the social appropriation of knowledge and innovation as transformation engines.
Its elaboration was led by a multisectoral working group with the participation of various actors of the National Science, Technology and Innovation System (SINACTI), following the methodological guidelines of the National Strategic Planning Center (CEPLAN). This collaborative process has allowed policy to align the current and emerging needs of the country.
Among the most outstanding goals of the Polcti are:
Reach an investment equivalent to 1% of GDP in CTI.
Multiply by ten the scientific and technological production of quality.
Reduce productivity gaps through innovation.
Conquer new markets based on technological development.
Ensure that knowledge and innovation are tools valued and shared by citizenship, companies, academia and government.
Vision and context
The approval of the Polcti takes special relevance in a global context marked by the effects of the climatic crisis and the acceleration of the digital revolution. This instrument seeks to convert these challenges into opportunities, promoting investment in R&D, the impulse to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the consolidation of a national innovation ecosystem.
The proposed vision is ambitious: by 2030, Peru is projected as one of the 60 most innovative countries in the world, with a strengthened Sinacti that significantly contributes to the competitiveness, sustainability and social welfare of the country.
The Polcti is not just a public policy: it is a call to transform the national development model on the basis of knowledge, sustainability and inclusion. Its success will depend on the active and sustained commitment of all actors in the science, technology and innovation ecosystem.
In this way, Peru ratifies its commitment to a future where science, technology and innovation are truly at the service of sustainable development and well -being of all Peruvians
