Aprendizaje en el proceso de incubación de empresas de base tecnológica / Technology business incubation process learning

Abstract

Studying the learning processes makes evident the factors that influence the ability to man- age the technological and organizational innovations, as well as potential profits of competi- tiveness of the economy as a whole. The aim of this article is to analyze this process as an experience of the emerging technology business incubators, mainly university ones. To do this, several studies on the subject were reviewed in order to discuss the role of technology and knowledge in the Technology Business Incubators (TBI) and the Brazilian experience as a Latin American leading country in creating these same companies through university incubators. This allowed to contemplate considerations about the characteristics and impor- tance of incubation in terms of learning and capacity building of the TBI, as a need so that the incubators facilitate their integration into information networks, production and services, as well as into the national and regional innovation systems. It was concluded that the suc- cess of these companies depends mostly on the relational investment of the incubator, and that the role of it is relevant to the transition from the category of technologist companies to smart companies.
