The value of technology monitoring and strategic intelligence is a fundamental requirement for companies and organizations nowadays, taking into account the changing context and digital transformation. For this reason, the University of Alicante launches the 5th edition of the Specialization Course “Strategic intelligence for innovative organizations“. The challenge is to keep helping professionals learn and implement monitoring and intelligence systems oriented to favour innovation processes.
#InteligenciaUA represents a certified program designed to be carried out from anywhere, which combines three training phases and will be taught by specialized academics in strategic knowledge management and experts in monitoring and strategic intelligence.
To date, more than 100 professionals were trained in technology monitoring and strategic intelligence in the different editions, coming from countries such as Spain, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. The organizations’ targets are research groups, startups, knowledge and technology transfer offices, technological observatories, business R&D units, patent advisors, technology centres and public and private institutions linked to both technology scouting and strategic intelligence.
