Innovation and technological change play a role in dynamizing productive development processes aimed at increasing general welfare in the imaginaries of current Latin American public policies. However, there is a divide between publicly funded R and D and production, circulation, distribution, and consumption strategies aimed at meeting local social and environmental needs. Based on the analysis of the socio-techno-cognitive dynamics deployed in the case of the Yogurito Escolar program (Argentina), this paper examines the problems of technology transfer schemes and proposes a range of alternatives for designing public R and D strategies that promote inclusive development processes

Keywords : Technology transfer; technological innovations; research and development; bio-technology; social development; public investments; Argentina.
