The research management processes in the universities is one of the key elements for the financial resources allocation, which promote and transfer promising technological developments to the society. The research entitled "Strengthening the institutional technology transfer and commercialization system of the University of Valle", co-financed by Colciencias, includes technologies that are still in an initial stage of development, but have detected their potential to become the most important technologies of the future. We evaluated, applying decision techniques, 38 type of technologies to be transferred, getting as a result five (5) technologies as the most prepared to be boosted with university resources; indicating Which of the 5 technologies to support first? The Analytic Network Process (ANP) multicriteria method is applied obtaining a ranking that determines the order in which technologies can enter the market, to lead efforts towards future innovations.

Keywords : technology transfer process; multicriteria models; selection and prioritization of technology developments.
