1. Introduction
In Brazil many Technological Innovation Centers (NIT) are still under
implementation and structuring starting fulfill its role to manage the internal
politics of innovation, developing a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship,
intellectual property protection, aggregate value to the production of
scientific and technological knowledge with the support and encouragement
of technology transfer.
The NIT managers need to understand the relationship between innovation
and competitiveness, the challenges of cooperation with companies and
major policies and legislations in supporting partnerships Federal
Institutions of Higher Education ( IFES ) and the companies.

2. Aims
In this context, The aim of this paper is to present the results of
the case study of the Innovation Agency of the Federal
Technological University of Paraná in the training of teachers
and administrative staff (UTFinova for multipliers) program
emphasizing the importance of establishing networks of
cooperation between Government, Federal Institutions of
Higher Education (University) and companies like Triple Helix
treats.

3. Theoretical Framework
Law 10,973 of December 2,2004, known as the Brazilian innovation law,
comes to stimulating collaborative research between public and private
sectors and determined that all the Institutions of Science and Technology
(ICT) to implement its core technological innovation (NIT ) or to associate
with another in order to manage their internal innovation policies.
As a result of the law of Brazilian innovation Technological Innovation the
Research (PINTEC) discloses for a universe of approximately 129 000
companies, around 46 thousand companies products or implemented new
or significantly improved processes.

4. Methodology
The research method is the case study in a public institution of higher
learning with feature multicampus (UTFPR - Federal Technological University
of Paraná with campuses in 13 cities in the State of Paraná), for the
management of innovation has created the Center for Technological
Innovation Center Which called Innovation Agency started its activities in
August 30, 2007 with the approval of the Intellectual Property Regulation of
UTFPR.

5. Results mains
There was intense participation of the Innovation Agency in the development
of teaching materials, lectures, books, short courses, organization of events
aiming to build credibility and Deploy a culture of entrepreneurship,
innovation and intellectual property protection in UTFPR.
Was made an internal training of teachers, administrative staff and managers
using the environment "moodle" with more than 100 participants in different
themes that make the implementation of a continuous and systematic
process of Innovation Management for business competitiveness in all it was
held UTFPR campuses.
As a result of UTFinova 10 books (print and electronic) collection.
The project allowed UTFinova an intense exchange of knowledge
Intercampus the extent that teachers have moved their headquarters to other
campuses to teach a module to cover a gap in the training program offered.

6. CONCLUSIONS
The UTFInova project can be considered a good example of the result of the
national innovation system.
The design of this project was the basis for the development of other
projects, like the proposed specialization in Intellectual Property for federal
public servants.
Also noteworthy is that one of the main results was to initiate the cultural
change of the organization to demonstrate that it is possible to promote
cultural change in the organization in order to increase the interaction
between universities and companies, both in frequency and intensity and
quality.

6. CONCLUSIONS
This project has helped to demonstrate that the increased interaction, the
dissemination of knowledge, the activities of technology transfer, among
others , brought mutual benefits.
This program resulted in a knowledge base that can be reused in future.
The UTFinova Program demonstrated that the transformation of
knowledge into innovation therefore requires systematic contact between
the various creators and users of data and information by performing the
interaction between ICTs and companies with an ongoing exchange
between producers and users of knowledge changing skills and the
environment.
