Abstract

Technology transference is widely considered as a very important factor to determinate growing at agriculture industry; this paper reviewed successful models to transfer technology to the agricultural sector to identify key factors that can determinate the success of their implementation. To do this, a systematic review of some examples with the objective of identifying characteristics was done. Finally, the analysis can support some recommendations and give more clear vision of situation of transference of technology at agriculture industry as a mean to invigorate the few existing relations between the field where science and technology are developed and the business industrial field where solutions will be commercialized.
