Cultural Project
Training and New Business Construction
This 2nd Cycle promotes and innovative combination of
training in technology (any topic from the University of
Porto), Creativity, Development of New Products and Services
and management, promoting, whenever appropriate, the
valorisation of technologies through the construction of
commercialisation strategies and their implementation
through licensing or through the creation of new businesses.
In this context, where innovation is approached as a
conscious and consistent effort for identifying new
opportunities, MIETE aims at bridging the gap between the
technology discovery – conducted at Faculties, Research
Institutes, Research Unites and Enterprises – and the
commercialisation of innovative technology-based products
and services, both through the constructions of new
businesses or through the transfer of technology to existing
companies.
MIETE as Pivot in the Technology Transfer Process
The model with which MIETE started in Sep/04 relied heavily
on the interaction of MIETE teams and R&D groups at the
University of Porto. In Sep/06 the new MIETE students faced
an increment in training in the usage of creative processes
and techniques to support the early ideation phases. In
parallel, the course started the establishment of bridges to
the enterprises. This connection is crucial for the role that
MIETE aims at playing in the Portuguese society. The picture
below illustrates the current MIETE operations model where
MIETE multidisciplinary teams play an interface role in
Training, Technology Transfer, R&D and established
enterprises.
By promoting this close relationship with R&D groups and
Enterprises, MIETE wishes to explicitly position itself as a
Pivot in the innovation process, technology transfer and new
venture creation.
Management
Mission
The MIETE Advisory Board has as its main mission
evaluating and suggesting improvements to MIETE in
order to make it more relevant to the enterprises. With
this objective in mind, the Advisory Board should make
comments to the actual course contents and make its own
evaluation of MIETE graduates, and finally on the MIETE
positioning as a pivot on the innovation process between
the enterprise world and the University.

MIETE as Pivot in the Technology Transfer Process
The model with which MIETE started in Sep/04 relied heavily
on the interaction of MIETE teams and R&D groups at the
University of Porto. In Sep/06 the new MIETE students faced
an increment in training in the usage of creative processes
and techniques to support the early ideation phases. In
parallel, the course started the establishment of bridges to
the enterprises. This connection is crucial for the role that
MIETE aims at playing in the Portuguese society. The picture
below illustrates the current MIETE operations model where
MIETE multidisciplinary teams play an interface role in
Training, Technology Transfer, R&D and established
enterprises.
By promoting this close relationship with R&D groups and
Enterprises, MIETE wishes to explicitly position itself as a
Pivot in the innovation process, technology transfer and new
venture creation.
Management
Mission
The MIETE Advisory Board has as its main mission
evaluating and suggesting improvements to MIETE in
order to make it more relevant to the enterprises. With
this objective in mind, the Advisory Board should make
comments to the actual course contents and make its own
evaluation of MIETE graduates, and finally on the MIETE
positioning as a pivot on the innovation process between
the enterprise world and the University.
