Do grama à tonelada: uma proposta de arranjo institucional para fomentar a transferência de tecnologias entre ICTS e empresas no estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This project is an empirical, pilot case of a proposal of an institutional arrangement for the technological transfer that aims to accelerate the process of development and commercialization of technologies generated by the Federal Universities of Brazil. Through this dissertation, a coordinated action is proposed, involving entities of the Regional Innovation System of Minas Gerais (FIEMG, IEL, CIT-SENAI, CTIT-UFMG, Trade Unions and Industries), seeking to fill the existing gap between the Academy (Laboratory Research / grams) and Industry (Production scale / tonnes). This partnership was achieved through the signing of several specific legal instruments that allows such technologies, managed by CTITUFMG, to be eventually studied, pre-accelerated, prototyped and scaled-up through the industrial technological infrastructure of specific units of SENAI and with monitoring in project management of the Euvaldo Lodi Institute of the FIEMG System. The empirical cases presented by this dissertation have so far provided several meetings with researchers and entrepreneurs. In this way this interaction have already achieve results, such as the exchange of information and knowledge and consequently the reduction of the cognitive distance of the institutions involved.
