Abstract: Abstract Until the year 2030, the objectives and targets proposed in the Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals need to be achieved, aiming to minimize various global problems. Bearing in mind this urgency, it is necessary that studies to help achieve these objectives be carried out. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to carry out a Systematic Literature Review of the technology transfer models existing in the literature, since the process can assist in promoting sustainable development, as well as possible barriers and opportunities for sustainable technology transfer processes. The results show that, despite the diversity of models available in the literature, there is an absence of a model that considers the sphere of sustainable development, and the possible barriers and opportunities in the formulation of its stages. Based on this, a conceptual Barriers and Opportunities-based model focused on sustainable development was proposed, aiming to fill the scientific gap found, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. The model has four macro steps: Plan; Enable; Implement and Evaluate, which range from identifying the technological need to documentation, registration, and feedback on implementation. As a result, the model can anticipate and address possible barriers, making use of opportunities as facilitators. Also, this research contributes to the governmental sphere, since with the use of the model it is expected that it can assist in the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
