Key Factors for a Successful Technology Transfer Process of Digital Innovation Assets

Abstract Technology Transfer ( TT ) process is complex and influenced by numerous factors. Associated with this context, the recent and growing Digital Transformation has impacted practically all sectors, through disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and 6G networks, Industry 4.0, Digital Agriculture, and Artificial Intelligence, among others. Thus, the present study intends to investigate the characteristics of TT processes involving digital solutions generated by Public Research Institutes, seeking to identify the factors that interfere in this process. A literature review was carried out regarding the factors that influence a TT process focused on digital technologies produced by Public Research Institutes, followed by the systematization of the findings and the proposition of a theoretical model. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the critical factors for the TT processes associated with digital innovation.
