Abstract

The economic state of a country can survive only if innovation continues so that it can contribute to global competitiveness. Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) in research center has the task of acting as an intermediary between technology developers and technology diffusers and transfer innovations from research centers to users or markets, thereby allowing companies and/or start up to innovate and giving value added in open systems. To date, there is little chance that a company can afford to produce everything necessary for a successful innovation using only its internal resources. However, it is still a matter of how to offer research results at TTO to the company in an open innovation approach. In addition, there is also a gap how to open companies that are companies that operate in TTO which has tended to keep their innovation system remains closed. In this context, this study aims to explore factors related to the use of open innovation based on data collected from TTO, in particular the Center for Innovation, LIPI.
