Abstract: Abstract Innovation for Medellín is synonymous with competitiveness, differentiation, and economic development. Innovation can improve citizens’ quality by generating knowledge-based jobs through the support of intercompany projects, universities, entrepreneurs, investors, government, and other stakeholders. This chapter shows how the innovation ecosystem works in the city, focusing on the public policies that promote Science, Technology and innovation (STi), the actors that support and promote businesses based on STi, and the establishment of University-State Business Committees that facilitate synergies among businesspeople, university delegates, unions, and the National Government. We also describe public investments into institutions promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. Finally, we show how two plans from Medellín’s Mayoralty intend to support and promote the development of STi for the economic and social benefit of the city. Specifically, these are the Development Plan Medellín Future 2020–2023 and the Strategic Plan for Science, Technology, and Innovation of Medellín 2011–2021.
