Resumen:
The paper investigates new opportunities for innovation and linkages associated to mining activities in Brazil,Chile and Peru. Three types of opportunities were researched: demand side, supply side and local specificities.The last source of opportunities is key for natural resource related activities. The evidence shows that an increasingdemand is introducing important incentives for innovation and local suppliers. Nevertheless, a hierarchicalvalue chain, dominated by few large firms, and poor linkages is blocking the diffusion of innovationsand hindering suppliers? development. The emergence of a group of highly innovative suppliers, which wereidentified in the three countries, is explained mostly by new technological and knowledge opportunities, whichare not exploited by large incumbents and open spaces for new entrants. Local specificities are also key in theexplanation of local suppliers. It remains a challenge however, how these, most of which were created to satisfylocal needs, will move from local to global.
