Design/methodology/approach: Innovation systems, social network analysis and mission-oriented policies contribute to analyze links between border subnational territories and to build strategies toward interregional innovation systems. Findings: A total of 5 out of 18 possible regional interactions are strong enough to be considered interregional innovation systems. Thus, mission-oriented policies may be designed to strengthen ties between regions. Research limitations/implications: As the amount of data observed is not large enough, this study and its outcomes must be considered an exploratory exercise. Originality/value: Innovation policy design based on the Peruvian context and evidence opens opportunities to rethink regionalization processes in the country.enSistemas interregionales de innovaciónRegionalizaciónPolíticas orientadas a la misiónhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1
