The actions of the RETEC for supporting the technology development of Minas Gerais – a pilot study

Abstract

The objective of this article was to analyze the types of classification adopted by the Technology Net of Minas Gerais (RETEC/MG). It aims to identify the strong and weak points of the classification, and also to propose improvements for the attributes that showed fragilities. We attempted to describe the field of activity and the structure of RETEC/MG, to verify its participation in the development and growth of the industries and, also, to identify the types of information and services that are demanded to the net.
