Innovación territorial, Sistemas regionales de innovación, Transferencia tecnológica, Gobernanza territorial SEMResumen
El valor territorial puede transformarse en innovación, transferencia y desarrollo a través de entornos de anclaje en el cantón Milagro. Este artículo examina cómo la estructura productiva, la infraestructura, la gobernanza y los recursos territoriales articulan dichos procesos mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) estimado con WLSMV. Se modelaron siete constructos latentes: recursos naturales y ambientales, recursos económico-productivos, demografía y mercado de trabajo, infraestructura económica y social, recursos socioculturales, aspectos organizativo-institucionales y la latente dependiente innovación, transferencia y desarrollo. El modelo confirma que la innovación territorial depende de manera prioritaria de las redes e interacciones productivas, de la infraestructura física y digital, de la gobernanza institucional y del capital humano. Las dotaciones naturales aportan de forma complementaria, mientras que los recursos socioculturales ejercen una influencia indirecta a través del fortalecimiento del capital social, la confianza y la articulación institucional. Se discuten implicaciones de política pública para fortalecer clústeres, reducir brechas logísticas y consolidar la gobernanza local.
