Abstract: This study aims at promoting an analysis of the process of technology transfer undertaken by Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), by means of the activities developed in the Genetic Improvement Program of Sugar Cane for the development of new technologies, new varieties of sugar cane. To do so, a single case study performed at the UFPR is held, aiming at identifying the main aspects that involve this process from the point of view of an institution. It was possible to notice that it creates a stimulus to the development of knowledge about a particular variety of the sugar cane plant by means of the interaction between the ten universities and also with its partners, in order to develop a variety more genetically developed that allows, for example, increased productivity. The technology transfer in the course of the process allows the development of several new varieties of sugar cane, in addition to providing expertise to members of the project. It is of fundamental importance for the activities and varieties to be carried out in a better way every time.
