This paper presents an overview of the implementation of the Fund for Science, Technology and Innovation of General system royalties in Colombia (FCTeI-SGR). The entry into force of the SGR and the ensuing creation of FCTeI-SGR has brought an opportunity for Science, Technology and Innovation in the country and these new resources are expected to have an impact on the regions not only in the short, but also in the mid and long term. Antioquia stands out due to the number of projects approved and the diversification of prioritized strategic issues presented to FCTeI-SGR, focusing efforts on strengthening the STI in the sectors of health, agriculture and human capital formation, among others.
