La tecnología: una herramienta de apoyo para pymes y emprendedores desde el entorno universitario

Abstract

This paper analyzes the means to motivate innovative interventions and to reexamine some others with the aim of promoting a technological culture that supports entrepreneurship and enterprises from the university environment. Different technologies are presented as valuable tools for small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) and entrepreneurs. In addition, joint participation possibilities between them and the academia are discussed, and success stories from the authors’ experience are also introduced. It is highlighted that the relationship between university and enterprises should be conceived like a bridge instead of a gap. In this scenario, technologies are unifying blocks: universities focus their studies and research efforts on them while they are also being required by the enterprises.
