The new Cuban university model must have capacity for producing, disseminating and applying knowledge, which should be enhanced by the creation and development of socialist technology-based organizations (STBO), for which the systematization of experiences in this process is necessary. This work provides a definition of STBOs, as well as the premises, principles and characteristics they must fulfill. One of these STBOs is the Program of Turfing Services CespIH®, created since 2000 at the EEPF «Indio Hatuey», with the objective of offering high quality turfing services, a successful example on how to make science, technology and innovate under our conditions. The characteristics of CespIH®, its process of creation and development by means of a model and its associated procedures, academic and innovation production, training of human capital, national and international articulation, overcome obstacles and tangible and intangible results, are described. The creation and development of STBOs is concluded to be an alternative for the new Cuban university to develop its capacity of producing, disseminating and applying knowledge, which contributes to the socioeconomic development of the country.
