Bioengineering as a Strategy for the Consolidation of Innovation and Technological Development Processes in the Central Zone of Colombia

Abstract

Bioengineering is a science that brings together the principles of biology and the tools that engineering can offer, so that different products can be created that are useful, economically viable and tangible. Thanks to the above, it can be recognized that this combination of topics favors the inclusion of environmental, agricultural and livestock aspects, since that is where the analysis of this research will be focused, which favors the recognition within this study of bioengineering as an independent variable. In Colombia, bioengineering does not have great significance or relevance because there are very few mechanisms that can help it to be applied in all activities in the national territory and therefore no significant emphasis has been placed on the aforementioned issues. For this reason, the research is directed to the Central Region of Colombia, which is known for being one of the sectors with the most abundance in biodiversity and has one of the largest territorial areas, basing its economy on agricultural issues. In accordance with these references and taking into account that bioengineering is a discipline that is oriented towards development and innovation, it is intended to have as a mediating effect its inclusion for the dependent variables already mentioned. The dependent variables oriented to development and innovation are fundamental to evaluate the current state of the Central Region of Colombia, made up of the departments of Bogotá D.C., Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Meta and Tolima. According to the above, current research is placed towards an analysis of the application of bioengineering in general terms, highlighting the importance of making a proposal that frames its scope and its inclusion in livestock, agricultural and environmental issues, favoring the advance of this region with adaptable and friendly technologies with the environment and the local population. Finally, it is essential to frame that the research was developed in a bibliographic way and with a theoretical analysis, according to the above it was possible to demonstrate the value and interest that bioengineering has today in daily activities, in development and innovation for the region central Colombia.
