University of Engineering & Technology (UTEC) has the support of businessmen from various economic sectors of Peru, which in turn boost education, innovation, research and development of the economy, based on the design of an educational model , aimed at the needs of the labor market and address the various problems of the XXI century. Undergraduate, Executive Education, UTEC Ventures and applied research services, are designed according to the trends and demands that globalization poses to modern engineering.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
== - PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP - ==
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">UTEC (Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología) is committed to develop I&E skills in the students through business and management courses, as well as encouraging them through events and presentations in UTEC Ventures and competitions like Disrupton (like a Hackaton focused on solving a problem inside the University) and Hackatons.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, UTEC holds several workshops to catalyze the creation of startups and world Start-up events in order to promote I&E, like Global Startup Lab, GIST Startup Bootcamp, Peru Design Week, fiiS (International Festival for Social Innovation) and the 1776 Challenge Cup. Moreover, courses like Innovation International Program and Innovation Through Design are focused to Senior Education.</p><p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Disrupton.jpeg|287x158px|Disrupton.jpeg]][[File:Hack2.jpeg|316x158px|Hack2.jpeg]][[File:1776.jpeg|281x158px|1776.jpeg]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">[[File:Utecventures.jpg|frame|250x90px|Utecventures.jpg]]But innovation starts from the first year. Since you are a freshman you face all kind of problems by Vivir la Ingeniería (Live the Engineering) projects. To tackle them, students can use spaces like Fablab, UTEC garage or the Product Design Laboratory. Some of them are good enough to participate in collaborative projects with MIT, Harvard and Colorado School of Mines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
== - ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP - ==
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">UTEC encourages investigation and innovation among its teachers and students. Among the faculty, there are some patents. For example, Mg. Melchor Llosa D, teacher of Physics in the University has recently patented an accessory for conversion of diesel- ethanol engine and an accessory for conversion in gasoline engines.</p><p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Melchor.png|421x235px|Melchor.png]][[File:Panel.jpeg|400x235px|Panel.jpeg]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, Ph D Julien Noel, director of Energy Engineering has patent a publicitary panel that generates potable water.</p>
== - ENGAGING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS - ==
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Ministry of Production is the most important public entity in promoting innovation in our country. One of their initiatives is StartUp Peru, which aims to promote the emergence and consolidation of new Peruvian companies that offer innovative products and services with high technological content. It consists of a set of contests and ways of financing for entrepreneurs, companies at an early age, and incubators. Peru StartUp also provides a platform for meeting and collaboration with people in the StartUp community in the country.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">[[File:Startupperu.png]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Ministry, through The National Innovation Program for Competitiveness and Productivity (Innovate Peru), seeks to increase business productivity by strengthening actors ecosystem of innovation (companies, entrepreneurs and support organizations) and to facilitate the interaction between them. It is also part of the National Productive Diversification Plan. As an University that looks for improving its I&E environment, we need to stay in touch with the government. Staying connected to the social reality and requirements of our country may be ensured by attending the big plans of it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another popular entity promoting innovation is Hackspace: a physical place where people with interests in science, new technologies, and digital or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate. It can be seen as a laboratory open to community where people from different backgrounds can join. The purpose of a hackspace is to concentrate resources and expertise to promote research and development.</p>
