Regional Competitiveness Commissions
The Regional Competitiveness Commissions are in charge of coordinating and articulating, within their respective department in the country, the main actors of the public and private sectors in matters of competitiveness, productivity and innovation; the implementation of productive development, competitiveness and productivity policies; the strengthening of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises; and the promotion of culture for entrepreneurship. The first instance created in terms of competitiveness was the National Competitiveness Commission (originally Council and not Commission) in 1994. However, the government noted the importance of extending the scheme of the Commission to the regions so that they could move forward with their own plans of competitiveness. That is why it was proposed to conceive the region's regional competitiveness strategy, keeping watch over and monitoring its implementation, which included the Regional Commissions within the National Administrative System of Competitiveness that was established in 2006 and was modified in 2012 under the name of the National Administrative System of Competitiveness and Innovation.

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?
