Perspective on biotechnology transfer in brazil in ict: a case of a “spin-off” in the brazilian amazon region

Abstract

The origins of modern biotechnology date back to the sixties and early seventies in academic laboratories in the US and Europe. In these laboratories, the development of new biotechnological products emerged as a result of technological and scientific advances that used innovation and technology transfer in everyday research. In this context, it is clear that universities and research institutes have played a crucial role in the development of technological innovations, especially in the large area of biotechnology. Potential solutions to some of the global challenges faced by society are provided largely as a result of academic and laboratory research, whether by universities, " Spin-offs ", research institutes and technology-based " Startups ". This article aims to outline an overview of Science and Technology Institutions-ICTs and demonstrate the transfer of technology, through spin-off , in the area of biotechnology in the Amazon, aligned with the perspective of innovation in technologies and green patents. It analyzes the Science and Technology Legal Framework, which allows the use of resources to make innovative activities more flexible and the introduction of a new culture and advances in innovation in the Institution. It mentions the importance of the Amazon biome for the environmental health of the planet and the use of Intellectual Property, in the protection of the innovation of products and services generated in the research. Finally, it reports the case of a biotechnology spin-off in the adoption of practices favorable to sustainable technology and the search, learning and implementation of this technology for the market.
