Abstract
The need to create the conditions to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the shipyard sector in the Caribbean Region, is framed in the greatest challenges and technological advances, especially in the adoption of technologies in the naval industry, which implies the making of investment decisions Based on the development of research and development activities. Agglomeration (clusterization) tend to define articulating and animating agents that allow the establishment of a technological and competitiveness agenda (technological platform) for the adoption of a new model based on innovation and technological development. The world-wide experiences of the role of the generation of technologies are varied, not only from the private but also public scope for the competitive improvement in the shipyard sector. In the Caribbean region, thanks to COTECMAR's trajectory, some of its capabilities could be oriented to define, on the one hand, the medium- and long-term strategy for the shipyard sector, on the other, to establish a market and technology intelligence center and finally to define itself as An animator between the different public and private actors that lead to the development of important technology projects based on innovative processes of transfer and commercialization, without losing its mission of being a guarantor of National Security and Defense.
Highlights
The national industry that supports the maritime transport services sector in the Caribbean region has been evolving dynamically in recent years
The first, in the framework of the maritime industry and port, the "ship building sector", in the Caribbean region, has been gaining a leading role. It is part of the sectors of the policy of productive transformation that led by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, sustained in the National Policy of Competitiveness in promotion of the productive transformation defined in world class sectors (DNP, 2008)1; and in the National Policy on Science, Technology and Innovation; (DNP, 2009)
The strategic orientation of the shipyard sector must go through a strategic plan of organization and institutional arrangements, which lead to the creation of agglomeration schemes based on R + D + I activities, where the State has a decisive role when it comes to concreting incentives
Summary
The national industry that supports the maritime transport services sector in the Caribbean region has been evolving dynamically in recent years. The strategic orientation of the shipyard sector must go through a strategic plan of organization and institutional arrangements, which lead to the creation of agglomeration schemes based on R + D + I activities, where the State has a decisive role when it comes to concreting incentives The application of these "incentives" leads to the realization of the orientation, making the cyclical and structural determinants of the maritime and port industry visible. It induces the recognition of cooperation schemes supported in the relationships and scientific and technological capacities as an instrument to support technological innovation of the shipyard sector in the Caribbean region. The second part describes the scope and limits of the shipyard sector's agglomeration scheme within the framework of the naval industry of the Caribbean region. and without, without prejudice to other evidence, some paths are defined to consider the technological platform of the shipyard sector of the Caribbean region to promote development from innovation management models
