Objectives

The topics will cover a broad spectrum based on the core of the master themes: innovation and entrepreneurship in technology. Topics such as: 
• Innovation policies 
• Technology-based Entrepreneurship 
• Innovation management (products, processes, services and business) 
• Technological Benchmarking 
• Surveillance and technology foresight 
The more technical nature of theses should not be restricted to the strict development of technology, but rather be framed in the central themes of the master: innovation and entrepreneurship.
