Countries development is strongly associated with scientific knowledge, technology and innovation. However, from our professional perspective is not always easy to see the social impact of our scientific work.

Using innovation strategically as the central axis of scientific and technological development would allow us to improve the quality of life of our population. In this sense, we have begun to replicate models, such as triple-helix,1 in order to promote cooperative relationships between government, industry, and academy in our country. ese models will catalyse the incorporation of technologies into the market, through the creation of spin-offs and incubators.
