Análisis y Propuesta de un Sistema de Transferencia Tecnológica para la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

This Master Thesis aims to propose a Technology Transfer System for the Escuela Politécnica Nacional. For this, the technology transfer models used in Ecuador and Latin America were analyzed, their characteristics were observed and those that the EPN would need were rescued, expanding and reinforcing the TT model proposed by Bozeman (Bozeman, 2000), as a model to be applied in the EPN for TT. In the same way, it was proposed to use the TT method that many universities and world research centers apply, such as the KOICA method (KOICA, 2018), which radically changes the method of advertising TT, as it does not use the traditional processes of promoting innovations at fairs and public exhibitions as the central axis, but rather visits to the companies and with technical criteria propose what the companies really require and bring them a proposal in accordance with figures and indicators of the benefits they could receive when applying the TT with the EPN. For this, it will be necessary to establish a TT office, the same one that in this work is completely determined on its function, training, personnel that it would employ and its operation. In the final part of the work, a theoretical example has been applied using the TT system proposed for the EPN, which makes it possible to evaluate the cost of creating an invention patent and also the possible benefit values that the EPN would obtain in case of specifying the accurate sale with the TT to the interested company.
