Abstract: The present work intends to evaluate the impacts of the Professional Master in Technological Innovation and Intellectual Property of the UFMG in the contribution of the university to the firm’s technological innovation and by reducing the so-called learning divide . Besides, the role of the universities in the National Innovation Systems is addressed in a historical perspective, but also in a contemporary way, by means of the discussion on the three current main approaches about the University-Firm relationship. The Latin American approach, proposed by Arocena and Sutz (2003, 2005), is highlighted in this monograph for making opposition to models based on developed economies, presenting directions for the universities that are better suited for countries characterized by technological backwardness, deep social and income inequalities and scarcity of “interactive learning spaces”. The methodology adopted consists of a descriptive analysis of the responses collected with a survey applied to alumni students of the program and the results reverberate the findings of Arocena and Sutz (2010) about the problem of weak knowledge demand in the South and reaffirm the importance of a more activity role of universities in the social development.
