Development of an Innovation Ecosystem at a Brazilian Research Public University

XVII International Triple Helix Conference,, 2019

In the last 15 years Brazil established a legal framework (laws and decrees) aiming the improvement of innovation effectiveness in the country. The first one, called “Innovation Law,” was edited in 2004 (Brasil, 2004) and regimented by a decree of 2005 (Brasil, 2005). More recently, a “Constitution Amendment for Science and Technology” was approved in 2015 (Brasil, 2015). This Amendment was followed in 2016 by a “New Law of Innovation” (Brasil, 2016), a revision of the Innovation Law of 2004, which was regimented through a decree edited in 2018 (Brasil, 2018). All this regulation aims to stimulate science, technology, and innovation improving the linkages among universities and research centers, known as Science and Technology Institutions (ICT’s), with the productive country system. In order to coordinate the innovation initiatives in the public ICT’s, the “Innovation Law” established that these organizations should create Nuclei of Technological Innovation (NIT), to act like Technology Transfer Office (TTO), to coordinate the innovation policy and promote innovation initiatives within these institutions. The primary mandates for these offices are: 1) to stimulate and manage the intellectual protection of the innovation developed in the ICT; 2) to manage business incubator offices and ventures support; 3) to coordinate the participation of the ICT in science and technology parks initiatives; and 4) to stimulate the interaction of the ICT with companies in the production system aiming the development of innovation activities. Another critical objective of this legal framework is to give legal support for promoting public funding of innovation initiatives developed jointly by ICT’s and companies, in a typical Triple Helix approach. Since 2000 UFF has a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) responsible for the management of Intellectual Property created inside the university. In 2009, UFF took the strategic decision to create an Agency of Innovation, named AGIR, inside the Vice-Rectorship of Graduate Programs, Research, and Innovation, as an umbrella to the whole of innovation activities performed in the university. The activities were the development and management of a business incubator, the monitoring social technology innovations, the development of a science and technology park and to the enhancement of the interaction with companies and the development of joint innovation projects. The purpose of this work is to describe and analyze Innovation Triple Helix initiatives underway at the TTO of Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) in recent years. The approach of UFF/AGIR changed in the last three years to enhance collaboration and the competences of startups to raise funds to R&D. UFF is the largest public universities from the Brazilian federal system and its activities has a significative impact in the state of Rio de Janeiro and serve as an inspiration to other ICT in the country.

In recent years Fluminense Federal University (UFF) created several departments, projects and activities oriented to the development of innovations. However, it cannot be considered yet as an entrepreneur university. This paper analyses the UFF’s effort of repositioning based on the experience of their technological companies incubator held in 2007. The Laboratory Initiä of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (InitiäLab) is an environment to evaluate technical and economic feasibility of new ventures. It’s a network of projects, R&D and ventures which is organized in the university to improve their level of scientific knowledge translation in goods and services to society. InitiäLab’s researches are working in a process of innovation concepts and models questioning and create a new vision about the interaction between academy and industry joining open innovation, triple helix and design science research concepts. The paper shows UFF and the incubator; the incubation movement in Brazil; the searching for a new model; and the perspectives to an entrepreneurship university. The result is discussion about management models of innovation environments.

This article aims to analyze how strategic actions of incubators lead to the development of innovations. In this context, a descriptive and qualitative multiple case study was conducted at three incubators located in Paraná State, Brazil. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the managers of the incubators, the research center and 329 universities with which they are associated. Further data were collected from internal documents and newspaper reports. The results show that the fundamental pillar for the development of innovation in the incubators was the strengthening of university-industry-government interaction, in accordance with the triple helix approach.In practical terms, the strategic actions identified were implemented by the incubators to stimulate partnerships and information exchanges between entrepreneurs, professors, government agencies and customers. They were also intended to help incubated companies obtain financial resources and provide information on management processes, professional training, new tools and incubation methodologies.

The proposed hub of Academic Activities in the areas of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for teaching undergraduate students originated in the strategic project of the University entitled "Tecnosinos Project-São Leopoldo Tech Park". The main objective of this project is to make Unisinos University a technology-fostering agent, conducting applied research in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. This paper will discuss the importance of the entrepreneurship education and the successful partnership between Unisinos and Tecnosinos Tech Park on an innovative program that has positively influenced a large number of students since 2011, fostering the birth of new startups. The methodology of this article is related to a case study originated from a qualitative applied research with secondary data collection from register and from academic curricula. Additionally this work took primary data collection through interview with professors and with Unitec manager, who is responsible of this project from Tecnosinos side. Results from this study shows increasing number of students participants of different kind of activities. A part from education, some activities focused on entrepreneurship promotion, such as Warm up, Roser Award and Innomarathon, that resulted in more than six projects that became startups at Unitec Incubator.
