Universidade e inovação: visões de empreendedores inovadores sobre as contribuições da universidade para a realização de suas iniciativas

Abstract

This work seeks to identify, in the vision of innovative entrepreneurs, which are the main contributions arising from higher education in the university for the realization of an innovative or entrepreneurial action. To this end, semi-structured interviews were carried out with people who have already worked their way through a university, whether public or private, and who have undertaken some enterprise or are innovating in their field of study. It is expected to qualify the contributions of the university through knowledge and skills, which aspects are insufficient in this training, as well as the main barriers to innovation.
