Objective: to characterize the regional innovation system and the regional technology policy implemented in Tamaulipas from 2016 to 2020. Methodology: description of the quantitative indicators throughout longitudinal and cross-sectional graphical representations to detect the principal deficiencies of the system by using the classification of failures proposed by Tödtling and Trippl. Results: the central deficiencies are the lack of linkage between the agents involved and the absence of clear objectives among the governing institutions. Limitations: the lack of generalized consensus to define a set of unique indicators to study the regional innovation systems in Mexico, which is pending for future studies. Conclusions: despite the advances and positioning of the main indicators, the regional technology policy has not had a rigorous implementation, an adequate follow-up, or a long-term vision. Hence, there has not been an state’s economic development strategy.
