Abstract
Technological environments provide multiple conditions for the development of technology-based business and intellectual properties. Over the last decades, the Chilean government has designed/implemented a technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship policy framework. This chapter analyzes the technology transfer policy framework’s evolutionary process and its effectiveness. This chapter adopts a retrospective longitudinal analysis. Our findings provide some insights into the outcomes and challenges regarding technology transfer practices in Chile.
