The process of transforming technologies into products only recently has become target of academic research and the arrival of technology incubation programs has become essential for the commercialization of new technologies. The HiTech program was built to help technology inventors and innovators, alongside with management students and business mentors, to transform their cutting edge technology into a high tech/high growth product and eventually create a start-up. The aim of this Work Project is to critically evaluate the HiTech algorithm, propose recommendations to improve it, assess its effectiveness and enumerate what the key success factors that affect the realization of technology incubators are.engTechnology commercializationInnovationIncubatorHitechmaster thesis201974770
