There is a close relationship between economic development and technological advancement. In this article, a technology transfer project developed at UFMG for Crômic, an APL shoe company from Nova Serrana (MG), is evaluated. The data were obtained through documentary research in the archives of UFMG and semi-structured interviews with the main agents involved in this process. The process of transferring technology from UFMG to Crômic is a typical process of cooperation between universities and the productive sector, stimulating new innovation projects, new agreements, technological partnerships and new products. From its evaluation, it was possible to describe the démarches undertaken, to analyze the results produced and to propose some suggestions for improvement in the integration process between university and company still incipient in Brazil. The project studied proves the positive contribution of university-enterprise cooperation to promote industrial innovation, increase the competitiveness of the national product and the resumption of the country's development in the face of the serious crisis in which it is immersed.
