In the last decade, Peru has taken significant steps in the process of decentralization in the field of technological innovation: the CITES network, Concytec's regional strategic groups and the FINCyT program to support research through a system of competitive funds. In this context, the urgency of sustainable and sustainable competitive regional development through technological innovation is highlighted.

Between the fifties and seventies of the last century, the economic and productive debate related development with growth; today we resume the discussion aware of the need to produce with the highest possible added value and that this requires prioritizing science and technology. The CEPLAN proposals and the PNCTI 2006-2021 coincide in highlighting the strategic importance of science, technology and innovation in Peru's competitive development. But innovation is not enough; an entrepreneurial culture is also necessary; unfortunately, Peru occupies one of the most unfavorable positions in the world in terms of the business environment for local entrepreneurs.

From this perspective, the article focuses its attention on establishing the future trends that emerge from a prospective study of the career and profession of economic engineering. We believe that these trends should frame the situational and prospective diagnosis of FIECS, so that according to the new developments and challenges of the Peruvian reality, they will allow FIECS to propose a new catalog of degrees, profiles and curricula, which will reposition FIECS in its work of continuing to provide the country with the professionals in Economic Engineering that it really demands and requires.

A comparative analysis of the proposals presented by Michael Porter on Peru's economic situation, President Alan García's message to the nation in July 2008, as well as the study presented by CE PAL for the 2009-201 O period, CEPLAN's point of view in its Strategic Plan for National Development, among others, allows us to understand that our growth continues to be based on an export boom that could turn into an “export illusion”, a risk that leads to certain recommendations such as the need to diversify the productive structure, establish clusters and develop aggressive technological innovation processes.
