The goal of this paper is to identify elements and characteristics of business innovation that are part of the country' s (Colombia) Productive Transformation Policy. The method used to achieve this goal was to review, systematize and analyze articles according to the innovation and productive transformation categories. As its main result, it was found that innovation is a fundamental tool for productive transformation because it focuses on industrial strengthening, supporting the development of business; however, its implantation has been limited. Through it, changes are visualized and dynamics put in place that link activities and integrate cultural diversity by which knowledge is accumulated and individual and group competences are developed that become social powers for businesses.

Keywords : Innovation; industrial and regulation policies; social innovation.
