Abstract: The territorialisation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda requires a public policy enhance that contemplates endogenous territorial characteristics in all development areas, particularly needs support of knowledge to solve social problems. This challenge demands a science, technology and innovation policy (STIP) suited to the territory's characteristics. The state of Michoacán in México has undergone several institutional changes to its STIP, reconfiguring its institutional infrastructure. We analyse the contribution of institutional changes to building an innovation system capable of facilitating the SDGs' territorialisation in Michoacán. These changes have not responded to generating regional agendas that meet the challenges identified at territorial level. A STIP governance model is necessary to promote mechanisms for configuring an innovation system that fosters solutions considered by the SDGs. Our research highlights the importance of linking the institutional changes and the SDGs with a territorial perspective.
