【 摘 要 】

Innovation activities at any level of the economy must be systemically articulated and integrated, so that they generate the necessary synergies between the different actors, to promote development and achieve higher levels of income, benefit and diversification of productions. Thus, the Cuban forestry sector is of vital importance for the socioeconomic development of the country, both for the social and environmental contribution made by forests and for their contribution to satisfying the demands of strategic sectors in terms of products and services; however, the inadequate functioning of the innovation process, among other causes, does not allow it to meet these demands. This paper aims to propose the components of the system for innovation management in the forestry sector in Cuba. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, such as analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive, content analysis, interview, survey and analysis of the network of actors, supported by the UNICET and NETDRAW 6,645 software. This allowed identifying the main strengths and weaknesses of the innovation process in the sector and proposing the components that should structure its innovation system. All the above contributes to the improvement of the sector's innovation process and serves as a benchmark for the design and implementation of policies and strategies, regarding its innovative performance and its contribution to the country's socioeconomic development with a view to the year 2030.
