Since its founding in 1973, Itaipu has produced, in addition to a great deal of energy, a great deal of knowledge and development, and the company has the capacity for Technology Transfer (TT), especially in the educational form. The objective of this work was to develop a strategic plan for an educational ecosystem at Itaipu Binacional® in order to enable TT. To this end, some of the company's expertise was identified, and the resources and actions necessary for the implementation of the environment were characterized. As a methodology, the integrated single case study strategy was used. Itaipu began with a diagnosis of the organization's expertise, and for this, information was researched in the company's public reports and documents that qualify Itaipu as a national or international reference and that present aboveaverage or significant indicators; in order to present ways for Itaipu to successfully transfer technology in an educational ecosystem. The proposal envisioned an educational ecosystem that presents relevant knowledge from Itaipu's domain to society in general, allowing for audience segmentation according to interest and access control to foster interrelationships between parties. In this way, the aim is to achieve benefits for all parties, the development and sustainability of institutions, and national sovereignty. Itaipu Binacional® has the capacity to become and maintain a benchmark in broad fields of knowledge and development. The strategic planning of the educational ecosystem focused on achieving non-financial strategic results and objectives.
