The Unicamp Innovation Agency (Innovates Unicamp) has just launched the 2025 edition of the campaign “Tem Inovação, Tem Inova Unicamp”, which invites students, researchers and professors of the University to seek the University's Technological Innovation Center (NIT) regarding topics related to the communication of inventions and the communication of projects and partnerships.
The campaign was launched in the week that marks World Intellectual Property Day and can be seen on the two parabolic arches and on 15 banners spread across the Unicamp campus in the Barão Geraldo district, in Campinas (SP). It features artwork with QR codes to communicate information about Inova Unicamp's services and customer service channels to interested parties.
With services ranging from support to advisors and advisees on the defense of dissertations and theses in secret, when there are patentable results, to attracting partnerships for research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects, Inova offers a set of services and support for students, researchers and professors at the University, with the aim of transforming research into innovation.
Innovation Center
The Unicamp Innovation Agency is the Center for Technological Innovation (NIT) responsible for managing the University's institutional policy on innovation and entrepreneurship. Inova Unicamp offers a range of services and support to students, researchers and faculty, with the aim of transforming research into innovation and strengthening Unicamp's innovation ecosystem.
Inova Unicamp is responsible for protecting intellectual property arising from the University's research. This includes strategic assessment for patent filing and registration of computer programs, trademarks, industrial designs and cultivars. In addition, the agency works to transfer protected technologies from the University to the market, promoting and supporting the licensing process and other forms of transfer of Unicamp technologies.

To help students, faculty and researchers identify the potential of their discoveries, Inova Unicamp promotes individual mentoring in intellectual property and workshops on prior art searches in patent databases. The agency also offers support to advisors and advisees involved in the defense of dissertations and theses in secret when there are patentable results.

Inova Unicamp promotes connections between research groups at Unicamp, companies and other institutions. It also offers strategic support in negotiating intellectual property generated in research, development and innovation (RD&I) agreements. To do so, faculty members must communicate their R&D&I project to the agency. Faculty members and researchers can also expand their R&D&I opportunities by registering their profiles free of charge in the Skills Portfolio, managed by Inova Unicamp.
In addition to protecting and transferring technologies, Inova Unicamp works to promote communication and a culture of innovation and technological entrepreneurship within the University.
