Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the innovation capabilities and knowledge flows of firms, universities and research institutes in the nanomaterials field across countries, particularly in the “hafnium” nanomaterial. Through the analysis of patents granted at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in hafnium field we want to know how the entrepreneurs, government and academic and research institutions are concern to innovate and how the knowledge flows are manifested at the inventors level. As same, we want to explore how in Mexico the firms, universities and government are contributing to build scientific and technological capabilities in this new scientific and technological paradigm. Taking into account the international innovation gaps in hafnium nanomaterial, we discus about the main institutional policies that Mexico could foster to build scientific and technological capabilities, to spread the new technological paradigm and, therefore, to favor the technological catch up in nanomaterials field./ El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las capacidades de innovación y los flujos de conocimiento de firmas, universidades e institutos de investigación en el campo de nanomateriales en diversos países, particularmente de nanomateriales basados en hafnium. Mediante del análisis de las patentes concedidas en la Oficina de Patentes y Marcas de los Estados Unidos (USPTO) en el campo de hafnium, se busca conocer la contribución de los empresarios, gobierno e instituciones universitarias y de investigación a la innovación y cómo los flujos de conocimiento se expresan en el ámbito de los inventores. Asimismo, nos proponemos explorar cómo en México, las firmas, universidades y gobierno contribuyen a desarrollar capacidades científicas y tecnológicas para desplegar este nuevo paradigma tecnológico y, por tanto, a favorecer el alcance tecnológico en el campo de los nanomateriales.
