Abstract: Scientific knowledge systems are constantly advancing. In the last decade, they have gained a more prominent presence in various areas of daily life, facilitating processes and reducing time and distances. This type of system, including artificial intelligence, is used in the operational activities of various organizations, both business and educational. This research aims to analyze the state of science, technology, and innovation systems within educational institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research is documentary and bibliographic in nature, based on the foundations of UNESCO (2020), where the role of technological innovation is highlighted as a key tool to address challenges and take advantage of opportunities seeking to achieve the objectives of the 2030 agenda and sustainable development. The results show that technology has gained special notoriety since the beginning of the pandemic, surpassing the response capacities and levels of technological development in numerous countries. However, there is a considerable deficit in educational institutions in relation to the formalization of professionals, the conduct of research, the allocation of resources, among other aspects that limit taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by scientific, technical and innovation knowledge systems. The conclusions express an urgent need to enhance scientific and technological skills in the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean; It is essential to train the human factor to face the challenges presented by sustainable development.
