Abstract: The objective of the article is to analyze the impulse to the appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at the organization level through the application of the public policy called Program for the Development of the Software Industry and Innovation (Prosoft, by its acronym in Spanish), created in Mexico since 2004. The methodology is an exploratory-descriptive analysis supported by secondary information, based on some available results of the program and the certifications of the beneficiaries, in addition to basing it on a theoretical-conceptual framework on the economy of innovation. The results indicate that Prosoft, as a public policy, has managed to promote innovation activities in the ICT sector in Mexico, which has favored the processes of technological appropriation in both the public and private sectors, which is based on learning activities and construction of technological capabilities.
