Analysis of the current structure of the technology transfer offices in Yucatan, Mexico

Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe and analyze the current structure of the Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) existing in the State of Yucatan, Mexico. The methodology applied to achieve the objective was the analysis of the literature related to the topic and the application of interviews to those responsible for the TTOs. The main limitation of the study was that it did not have the participation of those responsible for all existing TTOs. The results of the study are presented to be analyzed by those responsible for the OTTs, as well as representatives of the main business chambers and the academic sector, since it presents integrated and useful information on the work that TTOs have yet to develop in order to become the main linking agents within the innovation ecosystem, given that the improvement areas identified in the analysis are detailed.
