That is, we need a specific public policy toward innovation, in addition to those
already used for the generation of knowledge and technology Fig.

All these indicators belong to what we call innovation system, working with the
generation and use of knowledge, but with different goals; only the innovation
itself directly brings economic development, competitiveness, and a possible
social and environmental development Fig.

One of the factors that affect an innovation system is its transfer. The transfer is
the action of diffusion of innovation among all elements of the system. To develop
its full potential, one of the adopted models is linear, in which basic research
becomes innovation through two intermediate steps: the conversion of basic
research in applied research and the transformation of this technology.

The innovation really takes place by the time this technology is introduced into
the market (Oslo Manual).

An innovation is the consolidation in the market of a
new product or service. This way, it is called ''transfer process'' the translation of
the results of basic and applied research in technology and its subsequent use by
the society through goods, services, and processes Fig.
