Technological innovation through "spin-off" of biotechnology in the Amazon in Science and Technology Institutions-ICT and its journey to the market

Abstract

The objective was to contribute to the formation of spin-offs in the biotechnology segment in the Amazon, in ICTs, involved with innovation, technology transfer to the market, derived from successful academic ventures. We opted for the exploratory methodology, bibliographic, documentary and with qualitative approach from the theory of innovation that identify the trajectory of the spin-offs, with competencies for the development of innovative products and processes in their market journey. Concluded that in biotechnological innovation in the Amazon, it is necessary to join efforts of the private sector, government, and spin-offs of ICTs. The latter can contribute to skilled professionals and laboratories for R&I, to respond to the needs of sustainable socioeconomic development, through opportunities for biotechnology spin-off as an instrument of technology transfer of ICTs aiming at implementing innovative technologies for market access.
