National Commission for Competitiveness and Innovation

The National Commission for Competitiveness and Innovation is an initiative created to promote the economic development of the country, advising the National Government on issues related to the productivity and competitiveness of the country and its regions. In this way, the members of the Commission, coming from the economic, productive, educational, academic, banking and labor sectors, are in charge of arranging with the National Government these issues. This instance was originally created as the National Competitiveness Council in 1994, but was not sustainable until the National Administrative System of Competitiveness was established in 2006 and in 2012 it was modified and was called the National Administrative System of Competitiveness and Innovation. The National Competitiveness Commission was defined as part of this System, together with the Regional Competitiveness Commissions.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
