contents "Low-technology": a forgotten sector in innovation policy Hartmut Hirsch-Kreinsen Ingeniería low technology innovation system industrial innovations industrial development In the discussions on research and technology policy focuses mainly on the dynamic innovation of new technologies. Long termgrowth, competitive advantages on the world market and employment effects are primarily perceived in new high-tech products.According to this perspective the question as to the future of industrial sectors that produce mature and conventional standardproducts is not raised at all. Such industrial sectors are, following well-known OECD categories, regarded as "low-tech". However,there are a number of convincing examples of sectors and companies that have been successfully innovating low tech productsin “high-tech countries” of the European Union.The paper focuses on low-tech companies analysing their innovativecapabilities and developmental perspectives. The argumentation is based on results of a recently finished research project on thedevelopmental perspectives of low-tech industries funded by the European Commission (project title: “Policy and Innovation inLow-tech Industries in Europe – PILOT“) 2008 artículo científico 0718-2724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84730302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=847 Journal of Technology Management & Innovation application/pdf Universidad Alberto Hurtado Journal of Technology Management & Innovation (Chile) Num.3 Vol.3
