Abstract

Innovation in a society is energised by cooperation between academia and industry. The Faculty of Telecommunications Engineering of the Universidad Santo Tomás, aware of this reality, has structured a unit for technology transfer called the ICT Appropriation Unit, based on the capabilities of its professors and students, which operates in synergy with the activities of the substantive functions. This structure allows the generation of ICT appropriation processes in communities and individuals. It also allows technology transfer from the academy to the environment in two ways, in collaboration with industry and with the generation of enterprises from the unit.
