    El vínculo entre la empresa y la universidad en Marruecos se posiciona en el marco de lo que comúnmente se conoce como la «tercera misión de la universidad». Esta relación se refiere principalmente a la educación continua, consultoría, investigación y desarrollo colaborativo (I + D) y transferencia de tecnología de la universidad a la empresa. Esta tercera misión ha sido promovida por la universidad mediante el establecimiento de estructuras especializadas tales como interfaces empresariales universitarias, incubadoras y centros de información tecnológica para patentes de invención. Además, las autoridades públicas han promovido varias estrategias y programas de incentivos para la innovación a fin de crear un sistema nacional de innovación en Marruecos. Sin embargo, todos estos esfuerzos no lograron liberar y activar el potencial de las universidades marroquíes. En este trabajo, propondremos una política institucional eficaz y eficiente de Transferencia de Tecnología (TT) respaldada por un repositorio completo relacionado con el establecimiento de la Oficina de Transferencia de Tecnología de la Universidad (UTTO). Esta propuesta complementa el trabajo realizado en un documento anterior, que evalúa las diferentes políticas y programas dentro de las universidades marroquíes, relacionadas con las actividades de TT, y propone una remodelación de la cadena de valor del proceso de transferencia de tecnología en las universidades.

    The link between the enterprise and the university in Morocco is positioned within the framework of what is commonly known as the “University’s Third-Mission”. This relationship is primarily concerned with continued education, consultancy, collaborative research and development (R&D) and technology transfer from the university to the enterprise. This third mission has been promoted by the university through the establishment of specialized structures such as university enterprise interfaces, incubators and technological information centres for invention patents. Also, several strategies and programs of incentives for innovation have been promoted by the public authorities to create a national system of innovation in Morocco. However, all these efforts failed to unleash and activate the potential of Moroccan universities. In this work, we will propose an effective and efficient institutional Technology Transfer (TT) policy backed up by a complete repository related to the establishing of the University Technology Transfer Office (UTTO). This proposal complements the work done in a previous paper, which assesses the different policies and programs within Moroccan universities, related to TT activities, and proposes a remodelling of the value chain of the process of technology transfer in the universities.
