3. Lessons learned
In this presentation, we have
collected some of the thoughts,
knowledge and lessons learned by
those attending the event and the
KIM team.

4. #Lesson1
"Intellectual property is a passive defense. It is
an asset that must be activated in different
ways, so as to generate return on investment in
their generation. "
"It is critical to think about the knowledge that
organizations have as a tradable asset."
"To accelerate the transfer processes is
necessary to think of collaboration with
specialized agents."

5. #Lesson2
"The target market is no longer our city, region
or country, the knowledge market is the world.
Therefore it is necessary that organizations
structure their culture around an international
focus.
"The economic map and knowledge of the world
has completely changed and we must be aware
of this and adapt. Asia, Latin America, and even
Africa, are real markets. "

6. #Lesson3
"There are always opportunities but
organizations have to work in their niche
market, being aware that technology and
knowledge are often controlled by large
companies.
Work, strategy and collaboration are key to
the competitiveness of organizations. They
have to move fast, use the knowledge of
others and, above all, start selling. "

8. #Lesson5
"To launch an innovative project you can opt
for two tracks, with related public and private
agents directly. In either case, it is important to
find specialized agents who can assist in the
process.
It is important to learn and understand the
system to support innovation and
entrepreneurship. "

9. #Lesson6
"If you seek funding for an
innovation project, you
must be open to finding
support outside of your
country",
Legaltis,
assistant company
