Work in Progress - A Model to Foster Technological Innovation and Interaction between Academy and Industry in Mexico

摘要

Nowadays, human societies are undergoing major transformations in their search for creating wealth and prosperity under the restrictions imposed by depleted natural resources, rapid climate change, and energy shortages. In this document, we describe work in progress toward the implementation of a model to foster technologic innovation via the interaction between academy and industry. The model takes into account the constrains imposed by the processes and values of the Mexican institutions. Our model seeks to be a vehicle for increasing several indicators characterizing innovation. In the paper, we describe the current state of several experiences that have emerged under this paradigm.
