The National Department of Statistics of Colombia (DANE for Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística) published at 2010 the aggregated results for the third survey of development and technological Innovation in the Manufacture Industry-edit III, carried in 2007 for the years 2005 and 2006. It is presented a positional analysis supported in social network analysis techniques for exploring the structure of Colombian manufacture industry system using the investment that firms, grouped in 61 industrial sectors as defined in the International standard Industrial Classification of all economic Activities-ISIC Rev.3, made in innovation activities. For this purpose, the total amount of the investment made by the industrial sectors in innovation activities was mapped onto a relational representation that can be visualized in graphs. Global and local quantitative measurements defined in social network analysis as centrality, structural equivalence and center/periphery were made and relational patterns associated with the strategies for innovating carried on by the companies of the industrial sectors were identified. The main results are the position of innovation and technological activities in the system and evidence of changes in the investment patterns between 2005 and 2006
