Abstract

This article aims to initiate and promote the dialogue on technological innovation as a development strategy in the Salvadoran economy, because there are few indicators of innovation in the country and the application of it as part of the activities of private companies and public organizations where is very laconic when compared to economies where innovation is part of the productive and cultural processes. The empirical evidence shows how some of economies with no natural resources have found a significant improvement when venturing into technological innovation, for which an infrastructure and an effective and dynamic human capital formation have been developed.

Currently, the world is progressing successfully in the development of technologies as means of improvement, however, Latin America has not been able to take off in technological development, even worse, most of the countries in Central America do not encourage basic research, applied research and the experimental development, so that the human capital when incorporating to the productive life does not produce a leap of quality or create the conditions of a competitive advantage that initiates or maintains the sustainable development of the economy. Even when there are recommendations from international organizations about the routes or strategies for developing countries, the entities in charge of the formation of human capital are not articulated to work under a common goal, that is why here are some recommendations that are outlined Enables the role of each of them so that technological innovation is strengthened and will happen in a near future in a development sector for the country.
