Abstract In response to the need for exploring transformative innovation policy (TIP) implementation dynamics across sectors and contexts, this paper examines emergence of TIP in Chilean agri-food sector. Our findings indicate that has been developing recent years, primarily high-level discourses, while efforts coordination concrete instrument mixes lag behind. Contextual factors strongly influence development, which include (1) organization public administration, (2) national political dynamics, (3) cultures, (4) geographical contexts. Importantly, our work emphasizes capabilities underscores significant role proto-institutions supporting through system coordination, science-policy advice, fostering cross-sectoral collaboration, multiactor engagement, learning experimentation. Better considering contexts as starting point could advance its contribute a broader understanding dynamics.
