Construction of a Master Science and Technology Parks Operations Model for the State of Minas Gerais

In Brazil the Science and technology parks movement is still under construction. The state of Minas Gerais, through its Science and Technology State Secretary, is conducting a great effort to build an effective articulation of the triple helix and bring significant social and economic accomplishments with measurable results. The state of Minas Gerais in partnership with DM&P, constructed a Master model of operation for the emerging parks , using the QFD methodology, linking market demands to the possible technical features involved in the design of the science and technology parks. This work aims to discuss the deployment and implementation process of the generated model, presenting its characteristics, results and lessons learned.
