Gestão da transferência de tecnologia da Universidade pública para a empresa: um estudo de caso sobre o uso da pele de tilápia

Abstract

Technology Transfer is a crucial component for collaboration between universities, industries, government and Science and Technology Institutions (ICTs), with the aim of transforming academic discoveries into benefits for society. What aspects are necessary for technology transfer of biological tilapia skin dressing? This work proposes to analyze this dynamic through three main objectives: i) Characterize the strategic management process of the tilapia skin biological dressing technology from its conception to its transfer to the private sector, considering the current Legal Framework ii) Compare the practices of strategic technology management at the Federal University of Ceará with those of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, identifying the best practices and existing gaps iii) Propose a strategic management model for innovation and technology transfer for the Federal University of Ceará, considering the specificity of tilapia skin casp and market demands (public or private) iv) Analyze the role of postgraduate programs in generating knowledge and transferring technology related to tilapia skin. To achieve these objectives, documents and reports from the Technological Innovation Centers (NIT9s) of the two universities were consulted. This comprehensive approach will help identify best practices and key areas in need of improvement, thus contributing to continuous improvement of the technology transfer process and its social and economic impacts. The aim is to obtain the following results: i) Understanding the existing difficulties so that the process of transferring or returning to society in a beneficial way all the investment provided by the government through a product, process or technology can be accelerated, following what the government says Law 10,7 of December 200, ii) Identification of stakeholders' level of familiarity with the technology transfer process and related innovations, iii) Understanding of industry perceptions and expectations regarding technology based on tilapia skin, iv) Detail of information and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed, v) Detail of the history of biological dressing management, including stages, challenges and successes, vi) Identification of effective practices and structures of the UFMG Technological Innovation Center, vii) Comparative analysis of differences and similarities in innovation management practices, viii) Recommendations based on observed best practices for implementation at UFC.
