The Ministry of Finance has made available to researchers a list of links for more effective technology monitoring.

The MINEFE's (Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment) economic intelligence coordination service has made available to the public a list of links for more effective technology monitoring.

The websites are classified into six categories:
- Science and technology news portals
- Science and technology search engines
- Patent databases
- Patent search engines
- Database portals

The MINEFE believes that “the task of science and technology monitoring is not reserved for major research centers or even technology companies. It is essential to anyone who wants to anticipate the technical innovations that result from technological breakthroughs or the transposition of existing technologies to other applications.”
