Summary: This study sought to understand the development and coordination of the Science, Technology and Innovation (CT&I) policy implemented in Espírito
Santo on 2005 - 2020 period, critically analyzing the performance of the
State Council of Science and Technology (CONCITEC) as a body responsible for defining its guidelines and objectives. Starting from the theoretical framework that permeates the study of national and regional innovation systems (SNI and SRI) , notably the neo-Schumpeterian and institutionalist approaches, the scientific-technological structure and governance models implemented in the states of Santa Catarina and Pernambuco were analyzed with a view to proposing guidelines for a coordination model applied to the Espírito Santo context. From the examination of the minutes of CONCITEC meetings that took place between February 2005 and December 2019, as well the interviews carried out with prominent actors in the Espírito Santo innovation ecosystem, the evidence pointed to the lack of protagonism and discreet performance of CONCITEC. It was also found that, despite the recent advances of the Espírito Santo economy in terms of CT&I indicators, its regional innovation system was not able to constitute an effective governance in the period, given the lack of a strategic science, technology and innovation and the lack of explicit and cooperative vertical and horizontal coordination mechanisms.
