Abstract

This paper analyzes the nature of technology transfer, when technology is developed under government subsidized research in academic institutions or research centers. It presents some experiences that have been successful abroad. Based on a study carried out in Canada, the paper analyzes models of technology transfer bearing the creation of technological companies and licensing of patents, comparing the results in terms of generation of jobs and income. It departs from the definition of technological companies, technological entrepreneurship and innovation process, to arrive at the controversies on the creation of companies arising from applied research. Next, the paper presents international trends on government subsidized research, to compare the traditional model of research with a synergic model that stimulates technology transfer. It looks at the benefits and risks of the creation of technological companies, to argue that the creation of companies from the research's outcomes stimulates technological entrepreneurship and innovation, with gains for the research institution that generates the technological company, the researcher-entrepreneur and society.
