Competition heats up markets as a whole. Entrepreneurs must strive to survive in this increasingly uncertain world, and many alternatives and strategies are designed to gain advantages over competitors. One of them is the generation of innovations that facilitate commercialization processes, but how to generate this innovation? One of the alternatives is to hire qualified professionals to assist in this endeavor. The object of this work is to present an application that creates a bridge between consultants and entrepreneurs. After a survey with the target audiences, it was noticed an acceptance of both to use the system, after the results all the processes involving the creation of a company were done. Initially a CANVAS, then Marketing, Financial and Operational planning. Two scenarios were developed to evaluate the system's viability, and after studying these scenarios it was possible to detect promising results on billing, profitability and profitability of the entrepreneurial research project.

The biotechnological development of new food products consists of the improvement of processes and methods in which natural resources are contemplated. In this sense, the vegetable Anacardium occidentale Linn stands out. (Anacardiaceae), popularly known as cashew tree and holds wide commercialization of the nut, the liquid of the nut shell and the cashew stalk. In Brazil, these products have great agronomic value and are significantly important for the agricultural sector. The main objective of this present work is the elaboration of a biomass based on A. occidentale (AO) that specifically consists of the use of cashew stalk bagasse supplemented with Pisum sativum (PS), to create a gluten-free nutraceutical food. The raw material AO was commercially purchased, sanitized with chlorinated solution, followed by cutting, drying in an oven with air circulation, crushing and sieving. Pea (PS) was purchased commercially in its frozen form. The bromatological analyses of the dehydrated biomasses AO and PS showed, respectively: 25.3% and 35.23% of moisture; 45.8% and 48.74% of carbohydrates, 15.8% and 7.5% of fibers, 6.3% and 7.9% of proteins, 4.3% and 0.7% of lipids, 2.5% and 0.53% of ashes, 74.7% and 65.37% of total solids. Based on these data the nutritional composition of the biomass AO was supplemented with pea (PS) in a 1:1 ratio (AO:PS), with a dietary profile rich in carbohydrates, fibers and proteins, with low lipid content. The resulting biomass AO:PS was utilized to prepare a hamburger so called CashewNutriMeat, aiming at a creation of a new line of gluten-free vegetarian product. The sensory characteristics of this new product, was carried out with 64 tasters and showed statistical acceptance in the order of 59.4%. In this sense, the CajuNutriMeat product proved to be nutritionally acceptable and together with the sensory acceptance, herein was considered suitable for the production of healthy food. So, the present research is inserted in the biotechnological field and represent an effective alternative in the development of new gluten-free functional food products.

The information age is also the age of personalization, and the school cannot be apathetic to this phenomenon. The COVID-19 pandemic has opened the “curtains” and exposed the backstage of an educational system that has long been failing to achieve satisfactory results, especially in the areas of Portuguese and mathematics, which are fundamental to the formative process. Thus, DIGIprof positions itself as a methodological alternative, structured in the mold of instructional design, which assists the learner in managing their learning (personalized learning), based on methods of educational data science, with the aim of redefining the function of different evaluation models and the data generated and mined by them. It proposes that the student, in addition to accessing these data through visualization panels (dashboards), can follow a path of learning recomposition, mediated by technology, with different learning media and various evaluative methods, aiming for greater autonomy for the student and clarity in the data that will guide the teacher’s action.

The study concludes that Hackapocket is effective in formulating innovative solutions and that the reservation platform can be an important tool for the development of Geoparque Seridó.

Universities face the challenge of transforming a large amount of student data into actionable
insights to enhance academic management and reduce dropout rates in higher education. A
promising approach to identify factors influencing academic performance is Educational Data
Mining (MDE) and Machine Learning (ML). This research aims to develop a method to
uncover key characteristics related to dropout in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's in Science
and Technology (C&T) program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN),
focusing on students enrolled between 2014 and 2023. Through a literature review, suitable
ML algorithms were identified for a hybrid approach, combining Random Forest
(classification) and Self-Organizing Maps (clustering), with SHapley Additive exPlanations
(SHAP) for explainability analysis. The process involved Knowledge Discovery in Databases
adapted with stages (data collection, preprocessing, feature mapping, training and testing,
explainability analysis). As a result, a predictive model using Random Forest was developed,
achieving an initial accuracy of 93% in identifying at-risk students, and subsequently 91%
and 89% for unknown data, demonstrating consistency and generalization capability. The
research revealed that dropout is influenced by various factors, including curriculum,
socioeconomic, and demographic aspects. Analysis with Self-Organizing Maps created a
feature map illustrating the relationship between attributes and students' educational status.
Combining with SHAP provided comprehensive insights into attribute influences on model
predictions, highlighting the importance of variables such as academic performance, age at
enrollment, hometown, and socioeconomic status. Finally, a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
was developed as a proof of concept to showcase prediction results and the explainability of
findings, with descriptive and predictive analyses of patterns affecting student retention.

This work aimed to develop a butter cheese cream, based on the artisanal production process. The first stage of the project was to map the entire artisanal “Queijo de Manteiga” production process and identify where innovation could be promoted. Then the new product, a cream of “Queijo de Manteiga” , was manufactured in an Artisanal Cheese Factory, that is in the process of certification, in the Central Mesoregion of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). After manufacturing, the entire production was packaged in commercial packaging, already used in the industry and evaluated for consumer acceptance and the product's useful life. To validate the butter cheese cream formulation, a sensory evaluation was carried out with 79 untrained evaluators, between 18 and 69 years old of both sexes, which obtained an Acceptability Index greater than 70% in all attributes. Monitoring of the product's useful life (Shelf-life) was carried out with sensory, physical-chemical and microbiological analyses, which reached a validity of 48 days, if kept under refrigeration; which meets the appropriate standards for this type of dairy product. After these evaluations, a label and packaging were developed in accordance with RDC nº 429/2020 and an estimate of production costs for the butter cheese cream was made. The cream of “Queijo de Manteiga” was approved by the tasters in the sensory evaluation, its production costs and yield are similar to those of other artisanal dairy products and it has commercialization potential in the local market in the State of RN. Concomitantly with the development of  cream of “Queijo de Manteiga”, market research was carried out with the owners of cheese and dairy factories in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, which indicated their interest in manufacturing a new dairy product. Thus, cream of “Queijo de Manteiga” could result in an alternative that, in addition to innovating, adds income to artisanal cheese makers and enhances the value of dairy products manufactured in the State of Rio Grande do Norte.

The aim of this work is to develop a Data Mining application process as an innovation tool for strategic decisions in sales within a fashion accessories company. A literature review followed by a case study in a fashion accessories company will be conducted. The study will involve data mining using the company's sales database, including phases of data collection, selection, processing, and transformation. It is expected that the results obtained will enable the analysis of collected information and the formulation of strategic directions and actions to boost sales in the company.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the convergence of disruptive
technologies, reshaped the global landscape and labor market demands. In this context,
mastering foreign languages becomes essential for individual and professional success.
However, for many adults, achieving fluency in a foreign language remains a significant
challenge, particularly in effective and natural communication. This study proposes a
teaching methodology that combines active and natural learning approaches, aimed at
adults who struggle with effective communication and comprehension of native and non-
native speakers. This audience requires flexible schedules, goal-oriented learning, and
methods that allow for practical progress measurement, adapting to varied contexts and
individual needs. The characteristics of this audience are often overlooked by traditional
methodologies and online courses, which focus on rigid grammatical elements or content
without a clear approach, making learning challenging. Utilizing Design Thinking tools to
map specific needs and explore different solution possibilities, the methodology employs
artificial intelligence to personalize teaching, providing an accessible educational tool
focused on student autonomy. This approach aims to increase the chances of achieving
desired fluency, enabling students to reach personal and professional goals, and expanding
access to educational and professional opportunities. The methodology transcends
traditional barriers, using technology to democratize access to quality knowledge and act as
a transformative agent in society.

The increase in distance learning through distance learning platforms is a phenomenon that has been growing in recent years, also thanks to technology. Today, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, what was already a trend has become commonplace. The objective of this research is to identify a possible path to be taken to help students on distance learning platforms improve their own performance throughout their study journey. The research will use a qualitative and quantitative approach aimed at collecting relevant information about the routines of teachers and tutors in managing courses and the tool, in addition to interacting with some students to measure engagement. The nature will be applied with the production of content aimed at understanding which strategies increase engagement and finding methodologies to increase retention on the platform and in the course. The desired result is the development of a SaaS platform that can be connected to distance learning platforms via API that, based on the programming executed. The actions resulting from the verification of particular events and based on student performance, have been able to increasingly refine the content advisory system. Automating recurring processes and producing more personalized data more quickly frees up more time for platform managers, who can focus on providing more humanized support to students.

The education system in Brazil, according to the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), presents a stagnation that lasted for ten years, and, when evaluated in the 2018 edition of the International Student Assessment Program (Pisa), the country reached the areas of mathematics, science and literature respectively 70°, 66°, and 57°. This scenario maintaining due to the educational model adopted by the country that does not follow the advances in the area and the devaluation of professionals working in education, according to the OECD (2018), Brazilian teachers are the ones who receive the worst salaries among the 48 countries evaluated. To seek solutions to alleviate this scenario. The present work proposes to develop a system based on machine learning that will analyze the student’s profile to detect the main points of learning difficulty and thus be able to suggest adaptations in the students’ learning strategies. Also, carrying out a continuous performance analysis to find the most significant challenges of Brazilian students and suggest ways to solve them, thus generating a performance improvement. For this, the project will be tested first for programming logic at the School of Science and Technology of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, as this is an environment controlled through a web platform that will extract data from each student and the class in general. In the future, These data are classified through a system based on supervised learning.

This dissertation aims to present the development process of a production line of natural products with nutritional quality, in the Favorito’s supermarket chain, in a staggered manner, following the food safety parameters during the manufacturing process. It adopts as a basis the trend of the industrialization process of healthy products aimed at supermarkets, with the intention of adding value to the product and, at the same time, guaranteeing nutritional quality. The methodology used is based on a bibliographic study and field study on the subject. As a result, a staggered production sector of natural products is expected, especially minimally processed vegetables and natural fruit juice, which serves customers who are willing to invest time and financial resources for a longer and better quality life. Analyzes of the sales data of the developed products extracted from the Consinco system from the ABC Venda Distribuição curve will be used, in view of identifying the relationship between the product line generated and the revenue of the fruit and vegetable sector of that supermarket.

Economic development, population growth, urbanization in cities were triggers for the increase in the production of pollutants, which caused impacts on the environment. Because of these factors that resulted in the pollution of rivers, springs and lakes, compromising water quality. Based on this information, the present work aims to develop a filter based on biodegradable plant biomass (Curcuma longa L) with remote monitoring for the treatment of industrial wastewater effluent. The methodology was composed of the development of biodegradable biomass, physical-chemical, bacteriological and biological analysis with the use of obtaining and processing data with the application of Data Mining techniques through mining with the use of the WEKA software. The results of the physical-chemical analysis of the parameters pH (pH1), conductivity (cond1), TDS (TDS 1), temperature, turbidity (Turb 1) and color were carried out before and after the treatments of wastewater from soybean and sunflower biodiesel associated with saffron biomass (bark, rhizome, bark + rhizome and commercial). After the verifications, the parameters ph, TDS, conductivity and turbidity were satisfactory, which showed differences between the concentrations associated with the treatments. Bacteriological analyzes were positive for the presence of total coliforms (EC), Escherichia coli and Salmonella shigella in most concentrations associated with the treatment of industrial effluent from soy wastewater. But in relation to sunflower wastewater the results were negative in all concentrations. Regarding the biological parameters of the satisfactory solutions, they noted that the lowest concentrations showed positive results in the period 24 and 72 hours. After that, the quantification of filter residue was carried out where it was observed in the lowest concentrations subjected to treatment with saffron biomass in the industrial effluent of soybean and sunflower biodiesel, respectively bark, commercial and rhizome. A total of 3042 data were analyzed in the weka software with the Apriori algorithm before and after the treatments. However, data from sunflower wastewater are under analysis. Afterwards, all physical-chemical, biological and bacteriological analyzes such as quantification of residue from samples of residual water from soy and sunflower biodiesel are in the filter test phase for the manufacture of the MVP for commercialization. However, new tests will be developed for adequacy of the biodiesel residual water system associated with the treatment of biomass to make the water clear and discarded in the stream or river, following the current legislation as well as the interaction with remote monitoring.

The strategic planning for 2022 of the Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas
Empresas do Rio Grande do Norte highlights as its purpose the transformation of small
businesses into protagonists of Brazil's development, offering various solutions to the
entrepreneurial ecosystem of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, including management
consulting. With a focus on repositioning, strengthening, and modernizing its territorial
network of relationships, the Agência Sebrae Grande Natal initiated its project to
reposition and modernize its service network. In this context, the objective of this work
is to develop a framework capable of repositioning the offering of management consulting
services of the Agência Sebrae Grande Natal through digital transformation. To solve the
problem situation, theories related to digital transformation, process management, agile
methodologies, TRIZ problem-solving methodology, and data intelligence were studied.
Through the study, the Minimum Viable Product GESCON was developed, which was
validated at the Agência Sebrae Grande Natal, where it was found that the Gescon
Framework brought an 18.02% increase in operational and financial efficiency. Through
data intelligence, a sales funnel was implemented to track the consultations that convert
to contracts, which allowed for better budget predictability and goal planning accuracy.

In 1911, in the book 'Theory of Economic Development', Joseph Schumpeter conceptualizes innovation as a key element for economic dynamics, as well as presenting its responsible: the innovative entrepreneur. New products, new services or new productive forms can create and destroy markets: the creative destruction of the Austrian economist's theory. Since then, many efforts have been applied to the deepening of innovation theories. However, with the specialization of knowledge, such as conquering markets or developing clients, weaknesses were identified, derived from the fragmentation of existing processes, centered on the vision of the cyclical nature of economic dynamics, advocated by Schumpeter. Having said that, would it be possible to have a process that guides the entrepreneur to contemplate cyclicality in innovation management, in the face of continuous market evolution and technological change? In this direction, the objective of this work was to develop a process of management of disruptive technological innovation for new markets. For this purpose, in addition to the bibliographical review on existing theories of innovation, the research included an experimental procedure for prototyping and validating the process, through its application in an enterprise aimed at the tourism industry. After applying creation techniques, the Stairs4Innovation - S4Inn process was developed. The staircase to innovation is a four-step process: emergence; propagation; consolidation and commoditization, which aims to mitigate the possible impacts of creative destruction on nascent or mature enterprises. The application of S4Inn in the Voy Uniq development, of tourist experiences, sensitized the innovative entrepreneur about the necessary effort for the insertion and maintenance of the market. Finally, the Stairs4Innovation process is defended as a strategic tool for innovative entrepreneurship.

In a competitive market such as agribusiness, for example, whose dynamics are related to commodities, adding value to products is a way out for the small rural producer to remain active and the solution may be to invest in the verticalization of the production chain and directly serve the final costumer. The biggest bottlenecks for the small producer are the logistics of production and commercialization. In this context, the present work aims to develop a marketplace platform for small rural producers and agroindustries in direct service to the final consumer, allowing them to receive a quality, fresh and original product at home. The idea was to allow interaction between producer and consumer to increasingly improve the products supplied and, at the same time, enable alternative logistics for the flow of their production, bringing predictability, traceability with solutions that allow their production schedule. In order to achieve the objective, an exploratory research was carried out, seeking the main trends of this market to consolidate them through benchmarking and in the elaboration of a startup aligned with the needs of producers, agroindustries, consumers and couriers, in addition to all possible validation analyzes market. In view of the study, the platform proved to be efficient in integrating production chains, promoting fair trade and adding value to rural products. It stood out as an important tool to implement a new way of marketing rural products using resource sharing, pattern analysis and production forecasting through data mining and artificial intelligence.

As a result, the study reveals that the commitment to maintain employee compliance, consider financial aspects and ensure safety standards are key elements for the successful evolution of the implemented model. The study concludes that the implementation of the Lean approach in pharmacy results in an improved understanding of costs by managers, organizes work processes and contributes to a reduction in costs in the delivery of products to patients in the Home Care Service.

The General Data Protection Law (LGPD) establishes principles and technical controls for the security and privacy of personal data, ensuring the protection of citizens' fundamental rights. The right to informational self-determination grants data owners full awareness and control over how their data is used. The LGPD requires organizations to have a Data Protection Officer (DPO), who acts as the point of contact between the organization and data subjects, responsible for addressing data subject requests, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the processing of personal data. Failure to comply can result in harmful consequences for organizations, ranging from administrative fines and legal convictions to loss of credibility in the market. The problem at hand, which involves a reduced number of personnel, repetitive and error-prone processes, hampering compliance with legal deadlines in DPO analyses, has motivated the exploration of the possibility of an innovative system, presented in this dissertation along with potential solutions, using the TRIZ methodology. A market analysis is conducted, mapping data protection inventions in the Industry 4.0 and identifying key players, as well as researching investments in data security and privacy, demonstrating business opportunities. Finally, specifications for the requirements of an envisioned expert system prototype are presented, already registered with the INPI as edpOfficer, defining how information will be identified and processed in terms of software specification, aiming to optimize the management of data subject requests by the DPO, including a semantic analyzer in the user interface. This approach highlights the challenge of obtaining accurate and reliable information to support decision-making with minimal human intervention and the importance of providing the DPO with mechanisms to analyze and direct information to data subjects according to their needs, faster and without compromising quality.

Startups are flexible and innovative organizations with business models under construction, seeking to gain maturity and competitive advantages that consolidate them in the market. Naturally, it is common for startups to fail in achieving their objectives due to various factors, from internal issues such as poor process management, to external issues such as loss of competitiveness relative to competitors. In the corporate world, strategic management has presented itself as a solution for senior management of companies to structure business models, even complex ones, through strategic planning that aligns the objectives of the company's managerial vision with the processes and activities carried out by each directorate and team. Startups, however, have difficulties in applying methods of strategic management, largely due to the uncertainties inherent in evolving business models, as well as the need to act agilely, to accommodate the frequent changes that are part of the routines of these companies. With this challenge in mind, this work presents a reinterpretation and adaptation of strategic management methods organizing them in a flexible and agile way enough to suit the realities of startups. For this, the foundations of competitive advantage, the theory of strategic inflection points, and antifragile business, as well as the problems that interfere with the success of startups, were studied, proposing a combination of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Objectives & Key-Results (OKRs) models for strategic management of startups. Thus, strategic management techniques can be applied in a structured and agile way, in a model called Business Strategy Engineering (BSE). BSE, therefore, is a strategic management model redesigned to meet the dynamics experienced in startups, allowing these organizations to think and act strategically, contributing to the planning of their strategic objectives and in obtaining a competitive advantage. As a result, the BSE method is presented and discussed as a business model designed as a business strategy consultancy for startups, directing and leveraging processes for the development of innovation.

The advent of digital technology has brought changes in society, such as in the financial market and integrated management systems, which makes financial transactions much more efficient. And in this world, changes generate opportunities, such as in the automation of companies’ treasury management. Apolus tries to create a treasury management tool, where it controls cash and executes securities, applications or redemptions automatically without human interference or harms the cash flow of companies, generating efficiency in capital management and decrease in treasury costs. Once with a tool so validated, a process for validating a scalable business model begins. This research makes a case study about the evolution of the idea and its construction process until thinking about how the next steps need to be taken to create a business and the methods chosen to do so. Therefore, it appears that the tool is under development in companies in the engineering sector, whether as service, commerce or industry, where improvements and solutions are identified in new business opportunities.

Many startups that work with management platforms have excellent practices from ideation to implementation for the end customer. To start and improve its operational methodology, the startup Conecta Mapa - Plataformas de Gestão used the existing demands from Office of Civil Defense of Rio Grande do Norte in its temporal context as a case study giving birth to the Conecta Defesa Civil Platform and the Conecta Água Platform. To manage information and innovation within a company or government departments, the startup had the main objective to consolidate its own methodology. This methodology was developed from the research of good practices via literature review and in the learning of the practices in the context where the platforms were executed, innovating not in the types of technologies used that would become temporarily obsolete, but in the experienced principles that will manage the operational processes. The innovative method created is based on seven principles, 1 - parallelism, 2 - legality, 3 - simplicity, 4 - space, 5 - immateriality, 6 - integration or unity and 7 - beauty. These seven principles can be detected simultaneously on pages of any platform developed by the startup. The reward for using its own methodology was a total transformation of all the startup's processes, which became more agile, with good profit margins and scalable with different types of technology. The application of these principles made it possible to scale from two applications in the office of Civil Defense to ten management platforms in other government sectors and private sectors, from small companies to industries. With the same principles, it was possible in an agile and accessible way to answer different specific demands and solve real problems with the management platforms developed by the startup Conecta Mapa - Plataformas de Gestão.

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has been influenced by rapid technological changes, among which the BIM - Building Information Model, translated into Portuguese "Construction Information Model" has stood out in recent times. Projects were no longer made in 2D drawings without information and started to be made digitally. BIM is being one of the hallmarks of innovation in the AEC industry. The methodology proves to be a promising path for the civil construction industry and allows the unification of important information, allows improvements in the project even before its execution and has as one of its main objectives the delivery of projects and works with the least amount of errors as possible, making the projects more faithful to the final product and enabling more accurate budgets, more efficient project execution and construction savings. To this end, the Federal Government is encouraging the use of BIM in Brazil through decrees and laws. In addition to federal public administration entities, engineers, architects and construction companies are being affected by these legislations, however, not all are qualified to work with BIM projects. Therefore, there is an opportunity for growth for BIM designers in the new emerging market. In view of this scenario and the desire to contribute to the promotion of the economy of the construction industry, this work aimed to carry out a study for the development of a web platform, called BIM Office, which aims to provide the connection between those who need buy BIM projects with those who know how to design in BIM, through digital mediation. The studies consisted of carrying out a market research, where the adherence of the business model was verified, therefore, the economic-financial analysis of the startup was carried out, using the NPV, IRR and Payback methods and, in sequence, it was also developed the low fidelity minimum viable product (MVP) using the smoke technique of the web platform.

The enactment of laws that regularized the production of artisanal cheeses and butter in the State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), allowed the commercialization of artisanal cheeses and butter, produced according to the regional form and culture, if they have the ARTE seal, which regulates and allows the sale of artisanal products throughout Brazil, even for establishments without Federal Inspection. This combination of factors stimulates the development of agribusiness in RN, especially the dairy sector. However, as much as these new legislations make the rules to produce dairy products more flexible, a common point in all of them is the quality requirements. While cheese production from unpasteurized milk is permitted, it is essential that minimum food safety standards are in place so that consumers' health is not affected. Therefore, it is necessary that the production of artisanal cheese and butter obey the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) programs, which are a set of treaties on the basic concepts of operational hygiene that companies must follow to guarantee products without risks to consumers. On the other hand, micro and small companies have some difficulties in implementing the GMP Program. The first one is related to the lack of qualified labor for the internal elaboration of GMP standards, which leads companies to seek external consultants for the creation of the Program, generating an additional cost in the already costly process of regularization of these establishments. The second problem is related to the maintenance of the BPF. In simpler versions, it can contain dozens of worksheets to be filled in at different times (daily, weekly, fortnightly, semiannually and annually), which generates a volume of information that is difficult to organize for these companies, causing the program to be constantly outdated. Small artisanal cheese makers, mini milk processing plants and other companies that process low volumes of milk usually do not have a responsible person trained to work in this area, and it is normally the responsibility of the establishment owner to keep these records in order, which is not always happens. For these reasons, the objective of this project is the development of an application that can cover the main checklists and control sheets of a generic GMP model, with alerts about the controls to be verified on the day, options for registration and monitoring of the non-conformities, management reports and other requirements and resources necessary for the implementation and maintenance of Good Manufacturing Practices. The incremental innovation of this proposal is the development of a low-cost application, which will allow the inclusion of small and medium-sized companies in the prerequisites for certification together with the official inspection services and, therefore, allow these companies to enter the formal market, generating income and employment in their regions.

It was only between 1990 and 2000 that the term Social Entrepreneurship was spread in Brazil. Social entrepreneurship, above all, is an innovative action aimed at the social field whose process begins with the observation of a particular local problem situation, for which one seeks, then, to develop an alternative to face it. In this line of action, Entrepreneurship with social impact stands out in this study, where the entrepreneur seeks financial profit for his own benefit but causes a certain social impact where he acts through his Impact Business/startup, which aligns the resolution of problems socio-environmental and profit generation. Thus, identifying as a problem situation the reduced inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market even in the face of available PWD professionals, technological and innovative tools are necessary to facilitate the PWD hiring process for companies. Develop and validate a technology capable of connecting PcD professionals from the job market and training with accessibility, increasing inclusion and organizational diversity. Within this purpose, descriptive research was carried out to understand the behavior of companies in relation to PWDs in Rio Grande do Norte. Additionally, the potential use of the developed technology was evaluated, through applied research with companies and professionals. Thus, the dynamics of the RN market, its bottlenecks and opportunities were understood, and the application of Inclutec technology and its ability to allocate professionals and increase inclusion and diversity in companies were evaluated, proving to be a viable and scalable business.

From the Industrial Revolution to the present day, technological advances have brought several transformations within organizations, with the use of intelligent systems that can facilitate and accelerate the performance of tasks efficiently and effectively. Thus, based on the idea that technological innovations can bring agility to the progression processes of technicians at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) with authorization from the Dean of Personnel Management (PROGESP), it is justified the accomplishment of this work for understanding that it is important to study Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this context, and for believing that the presented theme can serve as an incentive for managers, public or private, to invest in intelligent systems. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to analyze the contribution of Artificial Intelligence as an auxiliary tool in the agility and security in the process of progression of administrative technicians, as a way to eliminate or minimize the problems currently faced. This is a case study at UFRN, specifically in the main DPCC and DCEP sectors involved in the processing of this type of process, verifying the flow of the current progression process; and suggesting a new flow with suggestions for improvements. In general terms, it is expected that the progression of administrative technicians at UFRN can have the same effectiveness and reduction of process time as that of professors, since the system for this category has already achieved positive results. It is believed that, with automation with AI in part of this flow, the existing problems in the UFRN technician progression processes will be reduced.

The interactions between these actors of a National Innovation System are the subject of research, in order to maximize efficiency between institutions. In this sense, Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (1995) when studying the dynamics of technological interaction, identify three main characters: university, company and government, the well-known proposed model of the Triple Helix. Briefly, the university is where knowledge generation takes place, the company is the place where this knowledge is applied in practice, and the government is responsible for promoting and financing innovation processes and reducing difficulties for the implementation and development of innovation. innovation culture. In this model, the interactions between these actors must be functional and also institutional, with broad relationship between these institutions. Within the scope of the government, Federal Law 10,973 was enacted on December 2, 2004, known as the Innovation Law. It emerged with the intention of harmonizing and establishing relationships between universities, companies and government bodies, creating a more favorable and dynamic environment for the development of the innovation process; above all, an environment with legal security (BRASIL, 2004). In this sense, government bodies have shown interest in changing the legal framework on Science, Technology and Innovation, creating a more favorable environment for designing new partnerships and strategies to create new products and processes. In this sense, this work aims to establish the Military Fire Brigade of the State of Rio Grande do Norte as a Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institution, so that it can develop research and, with that, prepare the foundation for the creation of an environment favorable to the innovation processes, where the research developed in the Corporation under study can be carried out through the establishment of strategic partnerships and development of cooperation projects, applying all legislation on Science, Technology and Innovation, including the recent regulatory frameworks.

Faced with the complexity of the fashion production chain, it is noted that for the small entrepreneur who manufactures fashion products, he faces two challenges, what to do with the raw material left over from the production of a given campaign, since in fashion, the materials are easily classified without market value because they are disconnected with what is considered trends, and on the other hand what strategy to use for the acquisition of textile raw materials, since the raw material industries have wholesale sales policies that are inaccessible to the small entrepreneur. It is within this context that the present study aims to develop a technology that connects entrepreneurs in the fashion sector through the possibility of sharing raw materials available in stock. In this direction, exploratory research was carried out on the subject to contribute to the design of the solution in technological tools for the construction of the prototype. With the scientific-entrepreneurial research in progress, the solution to the problem situation has already been approved in two public notices, the first is an acceleration program and the second in a public notice to promote the fashion sector in the state of Rio Grande do Norte . In addition, the research highlights the potential of the solution within the delimited area.

In order to innovate current processes, we found an opportunity in the area of Recruitment and Selection (R&S) to optimize the recruitment process performed by professionals in the area. In the vast majority of cases the recruiter is still delegated to the role of "anthropologist" analyzing up to 1000 curricula per month and taking advantage of only 20% of them according to research by the Brazilian Association of Human Resources (ABRH), and based on interviews with R&S professionals. interviewing the candidates who have the most profile for the vacancy offered. There are more than 6.5 million professionals in Brazil, according to data found on Linkedin. Through the Linkya tool, they will be able to structure a series of questions customized for the vacancy, whose answers will be listed in a spreadsheet. The questions will be taught through a chat with a much friendlier and simpler interface than a form, that is, innovating traditional processes and having bottlenecks is fundamental in the market. Linkya software is a chatbot solution that allows recruiters to chat with candidates. The candidate connects, answers the questions chosen by the R&S team, ChatBot saves the answers in a database and in a simple way the recruiter will be able to filter the results to find more quickly the profiles that fit the vacancy offered. The recruiter can save feedback for the candidate who will receive the message at the end of the process. The business model will be SaaS with monthly subscription or prepaid system per process done. At this time, a third-party platform for Minimum Viable Product (MVP) testing is used that helps to collect data quickly and correctly. Currently, three tests have been performed that have given results higher than expected with up to 80% of responses received via bot, compared to sending resume by email and an organization of the fastest information to be consulted, in addition to the enthusiasm on the part of the selectors who want to repeat with other selection processes due to greater simplicity and agility to apply for the vacancy. The Linkya tool seeks innovation in all chat platforms and professionals available on the internet. It intends to serve an entire company, with various services and, consequently, increasing costs, with the customizable and flexible solution tailored to the R&S professional. Its main differential is the simplicity in the configuration and speed of use of the product and the fact that it works within a very familiar platform: chat. In that first moment with Messenger, and further ahead with other chat platforms as well. The optimization of time with greater capacity to analyze curricula, without increasing costs in proportion as well as greater assertiveness in the selection of candidates due to the database available in spreadsheet. Facilitating screening with personalized responses for each vacancy, and creating a database instead of PDFfiles scattered around the computer, are some of the differentials that allow greater openness in the market.

According to government data, tourism employs 7 million people and accounts for 8.1% of the sum of all wealth produced in the country. The impact reaches 53 segments of the production chain. However, weaknesses in infrastructure and planning can generate significant problems, centered on environmental degradation and social exploitation. Added to this problem is the concentration of 'Sun and Beach' tourism, especially when it comes to the Northeast Region of the country. With the purpose of acting in the opposite direction of the mass tourist offer, the Ecotur venture was created in 2016. The initiative has revealed the potential ofseveral destinations in the Northeast, through tourist experiences that escape the conventional products of the agencies in the sector. Rio Grande do Norte is Ecotur's focus, not only because it is where the company is located, but because of all the existing characteristics, which manifest themselves in a scenario of great deficits, such as the high informality of tour operators and the dispersion of offer. It is within the perspective of boosting Ecotur as an agent of local socioeconomic development, through businesses with a socioenvironmental impact of experience tourism, that the present scientific-entrepreneurial research aims to develop technologies to mitigate the aforementioned problems. The central theoretical assumption of the study are approaches, methodologies and creation tools aimed at modeling the business and innovation strategies for the company's traction. Of an applied nature, the research is supported by bibliographic procedures and technological development aimed at electronic business (e-business). Specifically, the entrepreneurial idea turned to the development of a marketplace of tourist experiences with socio-environmental impact in the Northeast, aiming to sell unconventional destinations and using electronic commerce (e-commerce) to facilitate the acquisition and purchase process. Three Minimum Viable Products (MVP) were developed, as well as continuously implemented innovation management processes, supported by the Design Thinking approach and the C Model of Canvas. In unfolding, is the boosting of the startup Ecotur, with significant insertion in the local scene of innovative entrepreneurship, translated by the winning of several public notices, between 2020 and 2022, as well as by the company's indexes. Still within the project's traction processes, an innovation strategy centered on the 'RN in Box' subscription club was developed. The survey results indicate that it is possible to operate in the tourism segment and generate a positive socio-environmental impact.

The world was suddenly taken over by a technological evolution that transformed the
waypeople live, work and relate. Organizations like Uber, Amazon, Facebook, Google,
Spotifyand Airbnb have put traditional management thinking in check, while so many
othershave stood in the way of not keeping up with the new business dynamics. To keep
upwith this evolution, traditional companies have been looking for agile methodologies
totransform their form of management. According to PMI, inthe past 5 years, 71% of
organizations report using agile approaches to their projectssometimes, often or always.
In fact, between 2016 and 2017, one in five projects usedagile approaches, while another
in five used hybrid or combined approaches. Championshave a keen focus on using agile
approaches to projects - 55% versus 24% percentunderperforming. But just training the
teams and implementing agile methodologies is notenough to achieve the success of the
projects. Each organization has its own dysfunctions.It is also necessary to implement
an immersion process in the teams in order to observethem closely and understand how
they work, as Agile aims at some difficult goals suchas: satisfying customers through the
"satisfaction of constantly changing requirements",which is not met by simple execution
of agile practices. The objective of this master’s workis to develop a methodology that
facilitates the work of agents of change in the processof transforming the traditional
management model into agile, increasing the chances ofcompanies adapting to constant
technological and business changes, focusing on in thedevelopment of an Agile culture.

Brazilian universities have the purpose, in addition to teaching, to generate knowledge and disseminate knowledge. Public universities are responsible for conducting research, disseminating knowledge, as well as, through extension actions, acting beyond physical boundaries. The Triple Helix proposes harmonious operation to facilitate the flow of economic and financial resources, contributing to a structure favorable to productive interaction between universities, government and companies. Despite this, organizational environments that are internally prepared or that encourage interaction between the academic ecosystem and companies are rare. As a result, there are low rates of innovation and student experiences in activities in companies, high cost for the production and development of products and services. Prospect is a 10-step methodology that proposes to structure the communication of universities and companies through a framework that systematically uses challenges to develop the creative potential of students, generating greater opportunities for market applications and business solutions in a practical way , through a digital and physical platform. As a consequence, the student and the company may have a functional and innovative product that solves a real problem, be it a product or service.  

With the advent of the IV Industrial Revolution, the challenges of how countries develop, how organizations create value and the role of people in society intensify. In this direction, the exponentially accelerated pace of the 4.0 techno-economic paradigm demands agile responses for the appropriation of Digital Transformation. In the field of cost reduction and increased productivity of organizations, the issue gravitates in Information Systems - IS. Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP is an IS that favors the analysis of data and processes of an organization in a single system, from the integration of activities from different sectors, such as sales, finance, inventory and human resources. A study by the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service reports that over the past three decades, micro and small businesses have been playing an increasingly strategic role in the Brazilian economy. In 2020, small businesses represented 30% of the country's Gross Domestic Product. It is within the window of opportunity of the Digital Transformation that the scientific-entrepreneur research effort of this work lies. The implementation and market traction of the startup General System Integrated - GSI is the core objective of this research. Of an applied nature, the methodological structure relied on the company's business modeling, as well as the frugal development of an ERP for bars and restaurants, the General System 2 - GS-2. The technological solution has essential and friendly features for the commercial segment. Additionally, GS-2 provides for compliance with the constant legal updates of the Federal Revenue, aimed at the functional requirements of the Electronic Consumer Invoice - NFC-e. The technological validation of the invention was carried out in an establishment in the city of Natal-RN. The lean, low-cost product, aimed at small businesses, was a strategy for GSI's insertion in the market. The main result of this work is the growing diffusion of the GSI brand, derived from customer satisfaction with the GS-2 innovation.

Technological development generates a plethora of new demands on schools, learners and educators. One of them is the proficiency in English, which offers benefits not only to society but also to individuals who become better able to acquire jobs and to advance in their careers. The English Proficiency Index (EPI) regards Brazilian population’s English skills as low and to enhance the current state of affairs educators must innovate and create new services. Codesign has the potential to be a viable alternative to seek innovation in this industry once it is defined as a novel way of creation in which both users and designer engage in a collaborative effort to generate and test ideas. Its process views the final users as partners who play active roles in the development of the technology that will be used in the future by them. The goal of this research was to use Codesign to generate new ideas for services in foreign language education by developing and validating a toolkit able to assist teachers and students to cocreate services for this line of activity. The effort of designing the toolkit consisted of reviewing activities used in design processes inside the North American tradition following its analysis and adaptation to make them meet the Codesign requirements related to active participation of final users. It was tested in an in-person workshop hosted by an independent foreign language school in João Pessoa, Brazil. The toolkit was successful in providing an innovative process to people who had not had any experience with Codesign in which they generated ideas in an efficient way and, by the end of this endeavor, they were able to create prototypes that were used and validated. It consists of a short handbook that provides instruction to the workshop facilitator, a slide deck to assist with visuals and handouts to the participants. The workshop will be offered as a service to the market and a Business Model Canvas were filled up taking into account the strategy of maintaining costs as low as possible and bootstrapping the investment necessary to grow.

With devices aimed at stimulating scientific development, research, scientific and technological training and innovation, Law 13,243 of January 11, 2016 - known as the Legal Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation - impacts on Research, Development and Innovation - RD&I of Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institutions - ICT (from Portuguese: Instituições Científicas e Tecnológicas). The appropriation of the legal instrument by Brazilian ICT can translate into strengthening the country's competitiveness. It is within this legal demand that the window of opportunity for scientific-entrepreneurial research in this work is centered. In this direction, the objective of the study was to develop an agile management methodology, geared to the specificities of ICT, especially with regard to compliance with institutional and legal requirements, as well as in which it speeds up the different phases of RD&I projects. Within this purpose, (1) MS Project, Artia, Slack, Asana, Gantt Project management tools; (2) the Scrum agile methodology; (3) the Design Thinking creation approach and (4) the Technological Readiness Level methodology - TRL were studied. The effort of scientific-entrepreneurial research has generated Optimus, an Innovation Management Methodology aimed at optimizing RD&I projects for public ICT. In addition to monitoring compliance with ICT requirements, in the phases of (i) basic and applied research; (ii) technological development and (iii) innovation, Optimus informs the TRL of RD&I projects, which can be configured to mitigate investment risks. Optimus validation was performed with the Minimum Viable Product - MVP of the homonymous tool, under simulation, through its application in the SPACEVANT research project of the Barreira do Inferno Launch Center - CLBI. The analysis of the validation data showed that the use of Optimus offers speed of processing and simplification of internal procedures.

According to the World Economic Forum 65% of young people in primary education will work in professions that do not yet exist. A study commissioned by Dell Technologies for the Institute for the Future (IFTF) predicts that "thanks to technological advancement, by 2030, approximately 85% of the professions will be new, ie have not even been invented." With all the advancement and change we are going through, we need to understand how our young people will qualify to occupy these unfamiliar professions as we live in a dismal scenario of their backgrounds. Studies by the IDEB (Index of Development of Basic Education) show that the dropout each year is 575 thousand students - practically, every minute 1 student leaves a high school in Brazil. Specifically, in Rio Grande do Norte, in high school, the index has a score of 3.2 where the desired average is 7.0. It is important to have an intermediary between schools and students to increase interest in knowledge and reduce dropout, as well as prepare such students for non-existent professions. Thus, comes Scholae 3.0. Scholae means school in Latin and it is a new approach that aims to prepare high school students for the world: that of innovative entrepreneurship. It was applied to high school students at Professor Francisco Barbosa State School. The project actions were carried out in the inPACTA incubator, in the laboratories of the School of Science and Technology and also in the students' own school. The project methodology is anchored in the pillars of Lean Startup and the entrepreneurial logic of Effectuation. As a result of the research there is the application of three Entrepreneurial Modules that resulted in actions and participations in Entrepreneurial Education Seminars of ABENGE, Brazilian Association of Engineering Education and Science and Technology Week of UFRN, besides the interventions in the school itself as Sample Thematic and Knowledge Fair, aiming to awaken in public school students a new way of thinking based on the identification of opportunities and creation of startups. Scholae 3.0 aims to develop the student for today's world by empowering these young people in tools that awaken their entrepreneurial potential, to create well-defined sustaining goals while still young, favoring the implementation of ventures that can mature in their minds and lead them. understand that they play an important role in the present and future of the Society: employability and income generation for themselves and others.

Innovate is not an option, it has became an eminent necessity of all company’s sectors and trajectory. If one organization does not innovate it dies, also one society that is not innovative tend to not survive in a world so full of change. In face of this perspective, this work aim to develop a business with scalable technology base, replicable and competitive, linked to the financial system. Thus, it is fundamental a mobile app for management of sales through card machines, named Controli, once the process of manually consolidating the sales informations make it hard to the real control of the utilization of financial data. For example, the fact that the manager do not generate precise reports of sales and do not keep track of the real financial flow. To acomplish the goal, strattegic tools to stimulate criativity and innovation were applied to the Controli. Thereby, has been created one startup aligned with the necessities of the client?s segment and, mainly, with all the possible validation analysis of the market. Through the study, it was noticeable that Controli is efficient, mainly in relation to the real necessities of the clientes, because it showed that it is possible to achieve a better transparency of information to the comercial establishments and to the managers, specially when it comes to taxes charged by card operators.

In Brazil it was killed more than the Syrian war, with more than 60 thousand homicides in 2018, leading the ranking of intentional lethal violent crimes, despite the increasing investments in public security since the creation of the National Security Secretariat Public in 1997. The country also leads other types of crimes from all grades, from the smallest to the most heinous crimes. In this scenario, we sought to analyze the relationships between heinous crimes, against life and greater offensive potential with infractions, which are more common and routine, those with less offensive potential, such as the disturbance of the quiet of others, the use of data mining and Business Intelligence (BI). The ratio of 1: 15: 45: 415 was found, that for every 415 disorderly offenses, a crime against life occurs, reinforcing the ecological approaches to crime, the existence of a sequential development of crime, and an interconnection between disorder and the most serious crimes. Where each community will have its own development of police occurrences, being necessary the individual analysis of the local process of the sequence of the development of the crime.

In a globalized economy, where competition is growing rapidly across all industries, it has become essential for any organization to know what its customers crave and think. Today, customers are increasingly critical and demanding, and providing satisfaction to them is no easy task. Innovative companies, better known as Startups, have the mission of using all the technological resources and skilled manpower to develop solutions that solve the problems of the oldest organizations. Behind Startups, we find the entrepreneurs, with a vision of the future, can solve problems of other companies or suggest improvement in the processes, products or services that already exist. Gyms, like any other organization, need help to leverage business and find Startups the ability to solve customer capture and loyalty problems. Therefore, consumer satisfaction studies are now increasingly relevant, and widely discussed in both the academic and business communities. The main objective of this project was to develop a management platform for academies, with innovation in the tools of capture and relationship with customers and partners, through a system that allows the purchase of credits allowing to use them in the academies registered in the database of the platform . To achieve the proposed objectives, the methodology adopted was the qualitative research, with exploratory and descriptive characteristics, trying to describe the factors that contribute to student dissatisfaction in gymnastics academies. The research method used was the inductive one, checking the situation of a small gym and, consequently, positioning itself on the recommendations and improvements in the system of the Prepaid Academy. The results showed that Social Networks has the potential to define potential clients interested in the Platform proposal and new business opportunities were identified by inserting new liberal professionals into the Platform's ecosystem to work together using the site Prepaid Academy.

Human and animal waste as a source of renewable energy emerges as a new way to solve one of the major environmental problems faced by municipalities. In the urban area human waste needs to be directed and treated, as these are the main cause of sanitary diseases, in the rural area animal waste can be reused as fertilizers and biogas production for reuse in ovens. Bio-kerosene is a trend toward replacing petroleum kerosene in aviation, but it still needs advancements to minimize production costs. In order to construct a reflection on the subject, this work has as object of study the simulated development of a new technology for processing the tailings for the production of aviation bioquerosene. The overall goal was to simulate the operation of the process. To construct this analysis we developed two specific objectives: a) to construct the equipment of the study process b) to simulate and to validate the process. The results demonstrate that there is a great viability in the transformation of this biobased biomass of aviation. This technology was developed for macro-scale processing, where investment and operating costs are high, but can be improved for construction on a commercial scale.

In times of economical crisis, a business basically has two possible behaviors to succeed or, at least, to survive: adopting a conservative stance, through actions that are known to work or innovate, differing from what is established, and this way, get competitive advantage. Customer loyalty programmes fit well into the first profile and are universal, ranging from small drinking water distributors to major aviation or credit card companies. Providing a smartphone application to customers, while not exactly new, can still be framed in the innovative profile, mainly for small businesses. The purpose of this paper is to present Bandapp, an container of applications that aims to modernize Small Business Loyalty Programmes. Bandapp was developed by RN Soft using some of TRIZ's techniques, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, developed by the Russian researcher Genrich S. Altshuller.

Ubïo is a portable platform for capturing emotions. Emotions are invisible despite dominating our actions. We can lie about them, hide them, but never do without. They monitor our bodies and our lives. We want to make them visible to expand the field of creative possibilities and interaction with the world. The body is the most powerful creative multimedia platform ever created. Taking over this body becomes an essential step in creative and educational processes. However, this cognitive and physical knowledge must be developed to be accessible to the person through specific exercises and techniques, thus opening new creative paths. The objective of the Ubïo platform is to seek criteria and educational and artistic foundations in order to achieve new advances in terms of education, health and creativity. There is a real demand in the creative economy market for the development of personalized sensory tools. It is no longer about second-rate technologies, there is a real demand for technological innovation in this area. Ubïo will use the physiological data together to apply in various possible fields such as art, architecture, trade, art therapy. We can leverage this project to meet demands of various types and make the Ubïo platform a structure to house projects related to the body and meeting a strong demand for isolutions such as in the field of Intelligent Cities.

The emergence of educational initiatives that seek to foster entrepreneurship and           promote a culture of innovation in academia are indispensable for the development of             people and, consequently, for the development of the country. With this in mind,             Conectando Saberes - CS was born, a Entrepreneurial Education Program that           allowed the awakening of entrepreneurship in many people, enabled the emergence           of several actions and the consolidation of a methodology that was put into practice              in many institutions and obtained results real. This project report on Information and             Innovation Management aims to present the CS's process of ideation, its           development and the construction of its methodology for the creation of value            propositions.

The contents of the text describe: the innovation environment, the key concepts and difficulties presented on a startup environment also the challenges of building a hardware product for energy measure/management. The main purpose of this work is to create, validate and demonstrate an easy method, for technical designers, to understand and plan the whole business before it may turn in an inviable project due to mismanagement or elevated costs.

The purpose of this project was to create a computer system called the Integrated System of Prisons Rehabilitation (SIRESP), which works on a web platform, so as to facilitate information about the professional characteristics of detainees, under any prison system, open, semi- open and closed, for employers. The objective will be to publicize to society in general the economic advantages to the employer company regarding the hiring of those people who are incarcerated. In addition to advertising, there will be a professional assignment bank with the professional duties of prisoners, the system also includes a second database of periodic evaluations of prisoners who already work, in order to feed back information to the prison system in order to increase its efficiency. The project was developed with the assistance of the Secretariat of Re-socialization of the State of Pernambuco under the name of the Prerequisite Reorganization Program of the State of Pernambuco (PRORESPE). The source code was made in the city of Natal by another student of the Master of Science Technology and Innovation. SIRESP was developed with the objective of socially impacting the prison environment, as it generates benefits for the detainee, for employers and for society, since it tends to reduce criminal recidivism and consequently crime.

Additive manufacturing systems are a technology still in development, as technology applications weigh their advantages and constraints. The market for goods and products with a lot of credit gain 3D  rinting since this allows you to create objects, materialize projects, and add value through customization. However, it is necessary that a series of concepts for which they are interdependent, that are not applied in conspiracy increase the probability of failing and being poor quality in the impression. 3D printing is still not a widely used technology among small and micro businesses especially because they do not have the time and do not have recourse to learn a technology that may or may not be applicable to your business. Being a very versatile technology and with several sub-types of technology each with its advantages and disadvantages, specific treatments of VOID3D machine created to serve a market that needs quality machines with low cost, in order to make it widely used.

Since the invention of Tim Berner-Lee, the World Wide Web (WWW) in the 1990s, there has been a continual resize of how countries develop, how organizations create value and the role of people in society. In this scenario, connectivity favored business models based on organizational network arrangements that brought profound socioeconomic impacts. Within the concept of shared economy, companies such as uber, airbnb, netflix or spotify are the main players - respectively - in the transportation, accommodation, television and music markets, with modest tangible assets. No mercado da construção civil brasileiro, empreendimentos em rede chegam atingir faturamentos superiores a 200 milhões de reais por ano (TEXEIRA, 2012). Contudo, o mercado de produtos e de serviços da construção civil, bem como de decoração de ambientes, demandam melhorias no fluxo informacional tanto para os profissionais da área, quanto para os clientes finais. It is within this bias that the research aimed to diagnose these commercial relationships, as well as to develop strategies of connectivity and interactivity between different actors that compose the said market. From the study of shared economy technologies, customer experience and data mining, Simple Construction® methodology was developed - market management technology for civil construction and decoration services. Focused on the access of information, often imprisoned in some professional niches, as well as in the connectivity of all the actors of the business relations of the construction and interior decoration, the tool integrates the best functionalities of marketing, business modeling and design thinking. With a user-centered design, in order to configure itself as an active player in this ecosystem, in a dynamic and agile model, the minimum viable product was the Simple Design module, from the platform with the same name to the methodology.

The startups stand out in the middle of the other ventures given their focus on innovation and technology, being valued by the capacity of dynamization of the economy. With the increasing number of projects in recent years, it is important to create a tool that seeks to facilitate interaction between the parties involved in this process. Thus, the present study presents a model for the evaluation of startup maturity level, proposing the compilation of three known methodologies, in order to bring greater agility in relations between startups, investors, companies and institutions. This method will be made available in a virtual platform with distinct areas for each user segment, in an interactive and personalized way. The validation will be done in the InPacta-UFRN incubator, with 27 projects to be submitted by the masters of science, technology and innovation, where they will be evaluated, ranked and selected following the methodology developed. In order to obtain the desired results, the data collection will be carried out through the MVP developed during the master's degree and finally, the data will be analyzed through the proposed model and presenting the results and conclusions.

A great idea to tackle a real problem is a promise of a successful business model.  However, transforming it into reality is a hard long way run. Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Scrum are included in a long list of valuable approaches that have emerged to support entrepreneurs during their journey. In this work, we investigate the process of selecting business methodologies under entrepreneurs’ perspective, focussing on tech young entrepreneurs. Our findings have pointed out that this particular kind of entrepreneur is very susceptible to get into technological traps, dedicating excessive effort to product development activities. We propose an integrated approach that targets this phenomenon, which we named active paralysis, to help entrepreneurs to identifying technological traps and work on guidelines to overcome it. We applied our approach in Brazilian tech startups of different areas and present in this the results we have achieved.

The demand for methods of detecting pathogens through DNA analysis has been growing in several areas, molecular biology is not restricted to human health applications, agribusiness, for example, has several applications for this technology. However, the high cost of detection systems by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), make difficult the insertion of these techniques in the agribusiness. Therefore, the need to develop for these markets, products and services that offer a viable solution, is something prominent, solutions that apply protocols for low cost reactions, create management system that integrate management of the analysis and management of the routine processes of a laboratory, offer a way to solve this problem. Using software development methods with consolidated programming languages and frameworks, such as RUBY, PYTHON and Ruby on Rails, we also use the concept of minimum viable product (MVP) for prototyping and a business modeling methodology that is currently the most used in the startups market, the Business Model Canvas. With the support of these methodologies we obtained as a result an indication for market orientation, a WEB system capable of managing the inputs, the samples of a routine, the reactions used in the analyzes and the results of these samples. All with the security, availability and redundancy offered by WEB systems. Added to this is the creation of a desktop software tool to aid the process of analyzing the samples and sending the results to the server whenever there is an internet connection.The validation of this prototype occurred in a company focused on agribusiness. Thus, it is concluded that the MOLBIT system offers the market a service capable of implementing a viable molecular analysis routine for the agribusiness segment, making this technology accessible to companies in this field.

Sustainable socioeconomic development is based on the accumulation of technological capacity driven by the diffusion of the culture of innovation. In 2004, faced with this context and the demand for reducing the gap between Brazilian scientific and technological production, Law No 10,973 of 2004 was passed - Law of Innovation. In 2016, the Innovation Law was resized by Law No 13.243 of 2016 - known as Legal Framework in Science, Technology and Innovation. Within this legal demand, the research efforts of this work aimed to develop strategies of diffusion of the culture of Innovation. Specifically, in one of the pillars of technological capacity accumulation: the higher education. The research, of a descriptive and exploratory nature, of the scientific bias, carried out analyzes on the trajectory of the Brazilian science, technology and innovation ecosystem and on education technologies, exploring their functionalities and weaknesses, as well as studies on design tools and methodology implementation. With regard to technological development, the tools studied were applied to create the methodology ICAS (Instrumentalize – Connect – Assess – Solve. From Portuguese, Instrumentalizar – Conectar – Analisar – Solucionar), that is focused on the appropriation of the perception of the role of science, technology and innovation in the socioeconomic dynamics in higher education. The technological validation was obtained from the use of the methodology by the Thematic Chamber of Technological Business of the School of Sciences and Technology of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. In addition, the ICAS methodology can be scalable and replicable in other segments of the organizations that make up the triple helix (universities, companies and government sectors). Besides that, within the scope of generating innovation culture, the design of a research, innovation and private development agency was developed, based on the analysis of the legal framework of support institutions as well as funding and development agencies; and a methodology of public management, through the Business Model Canvas tool.

Paper documents are being replace in different areas every day and, for any activity that requires authenticity, these new digital forms need to assure the same guaranties as the physical document does, i.e., authorship, authenticity, chronological evidence and integrity. In this research we analyze a viable use of available technologies to solve this evidenced issue. In medical reports for image exams, the use of a Picture Archive Communications System (PACS) allow the medical reports to be emitted remotely but it alone does not guarantee any of the security measurements for non-repudiation. The results presented in this work were obtained from an Integrative Literature Review and make evidence that the digital signatures model, based on asymmetric cryptography, help solve this issue when a solution implementation does not change the installed DICOM/PACS environment and makes it possible for an easy emitter check without the possibility of repudiation, within the local legislation.

Ethical, legal, and technical limitations compromise the studies of human anatomy. Vieria et al (2013) and Marrey Neto (2006) show that a high maintenance cost, the difficulty in obtaining bodies and the risk that conservation materials present to the health of those who come in contact with them in anatomical laboratories constitute obstacles to the study of anatomy through traditional methods. Still, a scenario analysis based on interviews with healthcare professionals, identified that synthetic anatomical models sometimes do not have the realism desired for certain applications. It is within this context that resides the research project centered on the development of solutions for training and diagnostics in the healthcare area from prototyping processes. In order to transform the idea into a business, the project was based on the Design Thinking methodology. In order to understand the relationship of individuals with the problem, interviews were conducted based on the Value Proposition Canvas, and the conversion of the problem into a business was done using the Business Model Canvas. With the purpose of validating the proposals elaborated, three products were developed for evaluation by clients and professionals of the area. From the feedback received, it could be concluded that the proposed products and services have market adherence and represent a potential innovation in the way of teaching, practicing, planning and conducting health procedures.

The current work sought to develop a Canvas Business Model using the concepts of technological innovation and entrepreneurship learned in the MPI. Such concepts were applied to agricultural production systems in different regions of Rio Grande do Norte state, using the Moringa oleifera cropping promoting the reforestation of degraded areas, with turned to be useful for production of food derived from moringa leaves, in addition to vegetable oil and byproducts for the treatment of water, which were obtained from the their processed seeds, in order to diversify the sources of income, elaborating products of innovative potential with as much derivatives of the plant as possible. The proposed models can be replicated in other regions, taking into account the three pillars of sustainability: Economic viability, Social Responsibility and Environmental Compliance. Organic agriculture is an activity that concerns these parameters and, to do so, it depends on the production of agricultural fertilizers that comes from both animal and vegetable wastes. This practice, when certified by authorized institutions, values the product in relation to those coming from conventional agriculture. For accomplishing the desired objectives, there were performed a couple of “extension actions”, carried out with UFRN researchers, agricultural consulting and a "Managing Internship" in the rural property of the organic farm called Hortaviva, located in the Rural Area of Nísia Floresta-RN and certified by by the Biodynamic Institute – IBD audit. During the internship, the farm expanded its cultivated area so that the culture of the moringa could be introduced, intercropping with several short cycle plants, using different cropping methods. Dehydrated leaves were marketed in the form of leaf powder, tea and capsules. The oily seed, once processed, gave rise to a vegetable oil used in the production of biodiesel and a byproduct so called "moringa oilcake", from which a water purifying agent (biocide), branded as Biolarv – Natural Larvicide. A brand mark was registered at the Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial -INPI by the Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica (NIT / UFRN). This natural biocide was developed to exterminate larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmitter diseases such as Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya virus.

Compete with the major players in the Market is not easy, however starturps have been assuming an important role in the global economy. In this perspective, this work aims to show the potential of a startup and its technology, compared to market players and their similar technologies, mainly aspects such as technological, financial and marketing viability. To achieve this goal, we chose an exploratory and experimental research, based on bibliographic and digital references, as well as field research. In this way, we seek to describe the similar meteorological technologies in Brazil and in the world, as well as the representatives and manufacturers of these technologies, within the scope of current meteorological stations and dataloggers. Moreover, we seek to present the startup and developed technology relating to market players and their existing similar technologies, taking into account issues of technological and financial feasibility and to analyze the applications of the technology developed considering startup and its target markets as well as other sectors. Thus, this work is important for the development of innovation, science and technology.

From the beginning of the modern administration, beginning of the twentieth century, companies of the most diverse segments adopted rational techniques aimed at the control and the quality in their productive processes. These techniques focus on waste reduction through the elimination of errors (Gomes, 2005). With the technological advance of the last years, companies have faced increasingly fierce competition, demanding faster changes and a more flexible work processes (Silva, 2008). In the face of this new reality, the management of innovation became the business tonic and companies that demonstrate greater flexibility in their processes started to gain larger market shares (Pereira, 2005). However, it is observed that the quality addressed at the beginning of research and innovation can be interpreted as contradictory, since quality aims to eliminate error and innovation, accept error as a learning and improvement tool. Faced with this paradox between quality management and innovation management, there is a dilemma: How to combine these factors, quality management and innovation management? Throughout this work will be presented situations in which innovation and quality can be confronted especially in software development projects. The research aims to design a management framework that allows innovation and quality to be exchanged. As a way to validate the proposed framework, the work approaches software projects in which the author was directly responsible for its design, and thus the research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive according to Flick (2004), in which the construction of the reality based on interviews and / or the observation of field and people. The technique used was observation with a structured script. The technology developed was validated from its application in different projects, which shows the feasibility of its implementation.
