      abstract = {Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of industrial  policies globally. Through various industrial policy  instruments, governments make critical scientific and  technological choices that shape innovation paths and  resource allocations. Our paper explores innovation  capabilities as essential drivers of competitive outcomes,  spanning science, technology, and production domains. Based  on the economic complexity literature, we propose a  methodological framework to measure the innovation  capabilities empirically, leveraging data on scientific  publications, patents, and trade. Our findings highlight  the multidimensional nature of innovation capabilities and  underscore the importance of understanding both the  specialization and quality of these capabilities. Our  results are in line with the complexity literature, as we  also find: (i) positive correlations between the innovation  complexity and economic growth; and, (ii) the predictive  power of existing innovation capabilities for fostering new  ones. Based on these findings, we propose novel indicators  informing innovation policymaking on the innovation  potential across science, technology, and production fields  of an ecosystem. We suggest that innovation policymaking  needs to be informed by deeper insights into innovation  capabilities that are crucial for long-term growth and  competitiveness improvement.},
