Overview

The course contributes to the development of skills, through the theory and practice, which allow the participant to answer some questions like:

• Why technological innovation is difficult to put into context into the mutual understanding between the productive sector and the teams working in R & D?

• How can I make a technical analysis of relevant market to assure a good degree of certainily of a project that I want to do?

• How can I develop new and differentiated products of high commercial value?

• How can I make an surveillance technology of my competitors and to detect opportunity that will allow me to direct high-tech innovations?

• What are the most robust methodologies that have proven to be efficient and effective to solve technical conflicts that apper in the process of technological innovation?

• What factors should I consider to generate a competitive advantage with my competitors?

• In addition, the course of Technology Innovation is a review of some methodologies from the MIT, Caltech, Russian Scientists and best practices (top companies in technology innovation)?
