The present work seeks to analyze the perception of professors about the possibilities and difficulties of integration between University, Market and Government in the local context of Montes Claros-MG, Brazil. This study was carried out using mixed methods. Methodological procedures were carried out based on qualitative data collection through semi-structured interviews and quantitative data collection performed by survey questionnaires. Data was triangulated for a better analysis of the findings. Four practical issues emerged as important factors that influence the integration capacity among the agents: fragility and lack of institutional support to ensure legal stability; motivations of Professors; the need of external agents interest for the activities carried out at the university and, finally, the importance of an administrative technostructure capable of providing support.
