= Facilitating universityThis section provides opportunities for both UTEC students and external individuals. The goal is to mentor them in the field of entrepreneurship, whether they have an idea or already have a business in place. From that point, they meet with experts who guide them through the subsequent steps in the best possible way. If the experts see potential in that idea or business, they assist in securing external funding from sources outside of UTEC to bring that idea to fruition. Recently, many campuses have introduced modern infrastructure, including co-industry collaboration =working spaces that students, professors, and, in some cases, community members can use to develop their ideas or network.
''Businesses and industry benefit greatly from university research and innovation. Universities are constantly looking for ways to connect their research and students’ education to emerging industry interests. In recent years, universities have put greater emphasis on supporting startup companies, while continuing to engage established companies that have traditionally been their licensing partners. To facilitate greater collaboration and innovation, universities are opening up their facilities, =Encouraging faculty, and students to businesses (small and large) in the hopes of creating greater economic value. Universities are strategically partnering with companies, offering internships and externships, sharing facilities with startups, such as accelerators, and creating venture funds and incentive programs funded by industry, all of which drive increased innovation and product development by university students, faculty, and staff.''entrepreneurship=

The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas also reveals the extent to which the University is engaging with regional and local economic development efforts.

Additionally, there is an exchange of knowledge with all participants through interactive question sessions. In the field of robotics, a competition was held, attracting participants from the neighboring country, Brazil, who competed with Uruguayan students and exchanged knowledge. All of this took place during a week where they could share, compete, and learn about the robotics field.

The Regional Technological Institutes (ITRs, by its acronym in Spanish) are the manifestation of UTEC in the territory (the campus).They are located on different regions in the country, based on the local needs for higher education in each place. They are the centers that manage the activities in the region; in order to create a dialogue with the environment, through a strong decentralized profesional path. When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the country from the capital. At the time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and study there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. Its first institution was built in the southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Since then on, all ITRs built have been following the same path and have been designed to fit the communities they were built around. In UTEC centers don't focus on just one area with a fixed list of careers, since its purpose is to provide more access to education, in each building you can have very different careers from different departments. There are donemany centers throughout the country that belong to UTEC, add where the tag faculty's offices and the classrooms are located. Each center belongs to a subgroup in the university according to its location, this groups are the ITRs. There are currently three well established (although still growing) ITRs, and a fourth one that is at still being implemented (athough already working). The ITRs and their assigned centers are the following: *ITR Southwest #Fray Bentos, Río Negro#Mercedes, Mercedes#La Paz, Colonia#Nueva Helvecia, Colonia#Paysandú, Paysandú *ITR Center-South #Durazno, Durazno#San José, San José#Maldonado, Maldonado (Currently) *ITR North #Rivera, Rivera#Melo, Cerro Largo *ITR East (Still being implemented) #Minas, Lavalleja#Maldonado, Maldonado (In the bottom future) The three main and bigger centers (in terms of every campus overview page so that it is listed size, careers offered and students attending) are the ones located in the Durazno, Fray Bentos and Rivera. =Related Links= [https://utec.edu.uy/es/?pa=inicio UTEC] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Universidad_Tecnol%C3%B3gica_del_Uruguay_(UTEC)_Student_Priorities UTEC [STUDENTS PRIORITIES]] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/UNIVERSIDAD_TECNOL%C3%93GICA_DEL_URUGUAY_(UTEC)_STRATEGIC_PRIORITIES UTEC [STRATEGIC PRIORITIES]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhqifS4oDmY Becoming UTEC (Storytelling video link)] [https://utec.edu.uy/es/educacion/ Available careers] Spring 2017 UIFs: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mathias_Rosas Mathias Rosas] [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDeSItXewnrhmh1ElOIp6i83dcs_qoVTEBkRb9-CQyo/edit#gid=0 Landscape Canvas 2017] Fall 2018 UIFs: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Icapdevila Irina Capdevila Gonzalez] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Natalia_Suarez Natalia Suarez] [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JpGamgzte3b8LfkGR39p_X5M1sHJeZlGHtP8w7Y8Mis/edit#gid=0 Landscape Canvas 2018] Fall 2020 UIFs: [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fellow:Ainara_Saralegui Ainara Saralegui] [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fellow:Juan_ignacio_silva_silva Ignacio Silva] [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K5cMzPK-EwQhNyJ0_TITpitE4YZbDJ-oAmfwRPb2XtE/edit#gid=0 Landscape Canvas 2020] Fall 2021 UIFs: Sofia Alfonso [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fellow:Sofia_Alfonso] Elisa Perez [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fellow:Elisa_Perez] Victoria Pitetta [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fellow:Victoria_Pitetta] Landscape Canvas 2021 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qpvqxTQ72kM_ig-izNMXinw81a0II5C_3h1i0vrpabE/edit#gid=0] <!-- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->[[Category:Universities Universities] category.][[Category:Schools]][[Category:Universidad_Tecnológica_del_Uruguay]] {{CatTree|Universidad_Tecnológica_del_Uruguay}}
