Innovation is a strategic driver for industrial competitiveness and sustainable economic growth, fostering productive modernization and strengthening supply chain resilience. In Brazil, national policies such as the Nova Indústria Brasil Plan (2024–2026) and the Strategic Map of the National Confederation of Industry (2023–2032) establish guidelines to enhance the industrial sector, but their effectiveness depends on adaptation to regional specificities. This study proposes a strategic model for the regionalization of innovation policies, using the implementation process in the state of Acre as a reference, based on document analysis of the National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI/AC) and national and regional regulatory frameworks. A qualitative approach was adopted, systematizing primary and secondary sources to identify gaps in the articulation between national guidelines and local demands. The results reveal that, despite institutional advances, the absence of a structured policy undermines the integration between the productive sector, government, and academic institutions. To address this gap, a strategic implementation roadmap was developed, organized into four stages: Diagnosis and Planning, Policy Structuring, Implementation and Integration, and Monitoring and Improvement. The model seeks to strengthen innovation governance and ensure continuous adaptation to regional dynamics, promoting the modernization of the local industrial sector and its alignment with national reindustrialization strategies. It is concluded that structuring regionalized innovation policies, anchored in flexible governance models, can boost local competitiveness, facilitate investment attraction, and consolidate institutions as strategic agents of industrial development.
