The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of creating an innovation and productivity center in a Higher Education Institution to support the productive sector in the generation of competitive products and services oriented to national and international markets. Descriptive quantitative study, through market research, with instruments applied in person and virtually to a sample of 151 companies in the city of Pasto, during the year 2023. The results indicate that companies operate in highly competitive sectors, which means that they need to constantly innovate and keep updated in order to stand out among their competitors, requiring technology to operate efficiently and meet the needs of their customers with investment in technology and its proper implementation. It is concluded that the sources of financing have provided efficient help to solve needs and improve the companies.
