  • Summary

    This chapter aims to broaden the scope of innovation in the mining sector, with a focus on emerging countries, based on Latin American countries. Current innovation can foster growth of many countries endowed with natural resource in new ways that were not considered in the past. Mining cannot become a true engine of growth for the whole economy unless linkages within the sector and beyond – following the logic of a value chain and systems of innovation – are strengthened and deepened. This requires processes of diffusion, adoption and adaptation of innovation and technology. This chapter describes mining global value chains, national innovation systems and their role in the development of the mining sector. It also discusses some policy implications for emerging countries rich in natural resources.
