Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the technology transfer flow in Brazil from 2000 to 2014, considering the domestic and foreign markets, and also the activities carried out by universities and technological institutes from 1972 to 2015. From results, Brazil has been receiving technologies from major economic powers such as the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, and Spain. The barriers regarding cooperation between university-industry are still present, currently there are 27.523 research groups distributed in all areas of knowledge, but only 0.31% develops activities related to technology transfer, and 58% do not establish any relationships with industry. Notwithstanding, the technology supply must depend on the technological diffusion process and the adoption of technology by the society through continuous learning, thereby enabling to increase the performance of services, processes, and products in the domestic market.
