This paper is based on the doctoral research [32] conducted as a requirement for a PhD Degree in Systems Engineering (Planning) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). The study would not have been possible without the technical support of UNAM's Social Research Institute (IIS- UNAM), the economic support from the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT), the Office of Graduate Studies at UNAM, the help arising from Project PAPIIT IN 302208 “Education, science, technology and innovation for the development”, which is conducted at the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Systems Research (IIMAS-UNAM).

N2 - Mexican Public Research Centers (PRCs) have become one of the most important actors in technology development for most enterprises they interact with. Nevertheless, knowledge generated and accumulated by PRCs is being underutilized or not utilized at all in the advance of new projects to benefit productive sectors. In this paper we review a number of variables to pinpoint factors that either promote or hinder successful R&D projects; i.e. those transferred to the industry. We conclude that it is feasible to design policies to boost positive factors while preventing or reducing the impact of the negative ones.
