This article performed a comparative exploratory analysis in order to identify the main actors in concepts of technological readiness level. For this, an initial comparative analysis was carried out in the databases of articles (Web of Science, Scopus, Capes Newspapers, Google Academics) and patents (Derwent, Orbit, WIPO – Patentscope, Spacenet and PatentInspiration). The TRL – level of technological maturity (readiness) was the most widely found. For TRL detailed analysis were chosen the databasis Scopus (2,787 articles) and Espacenet using the software Questel Orbit (110 patents). The articles began in 1991 and the patents in 1998. The articles technology areas that stood out were engineering (1,947) and computer science (540), and for patents was G06 (70) simulators, methods of computing existing or predicted conditions in a real system or device. The country that stands out both in number of articles (1,307) and patents (48) is United States. The most relevant companies are from the aerospace sector (NASA, Raytheon, Boeing, Safran Thales Group). Keywords: Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL). Technological Readiness Level Calculator. Technology Readiness.
