Lessons learned

In this document, we have collected some of the reflections,

knowledge, and extracted conclusions by those attending

the KIMconference 2013.

#Lesson1

“The intellectual property is not a passive defensive element. It is an asset that must be activated in different ways, so as to generate

return on investment in their generation. "

“It is essential to think about the knowledge that organizations have as a tradable asset.”

“To speed up the transfer process, it is necessary to think of collaboration with

specialized agents.”

#Lesson2

“The target market is no longer our city, region or country, the knowledge market is the world. Therefore it is necessary that organizations structure their culture around international orientation.”

“The economic map and knowledge of the world has completely changed and we must be aware of this and adapt. Asia, Latin America, and even Africa, are royal markets.”

#Lesson3

“There are always opportunities but organizations have to work in their niche market, being aware that technology and

knowledge are often controlled by large companies.

The work, strategy and collaboration are key to the competitiveness of organizations. They

have to move fast, use the knowledge of others and, above all, start selling.”

#Lesson5

“To launch an innovative project you can opt for two tracks, the related public officials and direct private. In either case, it is important to find specialized agents who can assist in the process.

It is important to learn and understand the system of support for innovation and entrepreneurship. ”

#Lesson6

“If you are looking for funding for an innovation

project, you must be open to find support outside of

your country "
