Motivation and Incentives is the process by which researchers are triggered to work goal oriented and enduringly keep up the good work. Researchers often need to be motivated to engage in an entrepreneurial venture. Therefore, it is important for Technology Transfer Officers to provide the right motivation and incentives for researchers in order to commercialize their promising research results.

As a citizen of the Brainport region and working close to the High Tech Campus I was interested in how the open innovation chain is started on such a Campus. I believe in many cases you and I both own half of a good idea. How do we get to know each other? And when do we share our ideas? Should this just be a coincidence? Or should this be facilitated?

RTO Innovation: Where are the enablers and who are the actorsDigital Capability
There is an ever increasing need in Australia for more innovative activity to maintain and ensure a strong Australian economy and society (PWC, 2013). Innovation can be defined as doing something differently to create value, whether that be economic, social or environmental (Innovation and Science Australia, 2017). The Australian Vocational and Education Training (VET) sector also plays a crucial role in supporting a healthy Australian economy.
Australian registered training organisations (RTOs) in the VET Sector, however, operate in a very volatile marketplace which requires them to adopt lean and edu-preneurial strategies to maintain and sustain their businesses.
The Australian Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA) (Australian Government, 2015) recognises that a robust, resilient and efficiently functioning innovation, science and research system (ISR system) is needed to grow the Australian economy. This ISR system requires actors, enablers and innovation activity to support productive outputs and outcomes (Innovation and Science Australia, 2017). However, there is limited insight into to where these exist and who these are for Australian RTOs.
This research will use the Australian ISR System performance framework (Innovation and Science Australia, 2017) to analysis leading registered training organisation (RTOs) to determine where the enablers exist and what actors are needed to support innovative activity in Australian RTOs. Recommendations on how the Australian VET ISR System could be improved and further supported to enable more RTOs to capitalise on their innovative activity will also be provided.

how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.

Session 1: Concept and status of Indonesian
Centre for Infrastructure
Moderator: Prof Danang Parikesit
- Prof Colin Duffield (University of Melbourne)
8. Progress and history
1. Concept of an infrastructure research centre proposed
(Parikesit, Black, Lea and Strang 2012)
2. Indonesian Infrastructure Initiative engaged UoM to investigate
the feasibility for the establishment of an Indonesian Centre for
Infrastructure Policy (July 2013)
3. Stakeholder meetings and special interest group sessions (Sept
2013)
1. Water supply and sanitation
2. Energy supply
3. Integrated metropolitan infrastructure, Commercial Transport
4. Regional, rural and social infrastructure
5. Policy, planning and procurement
4. Stakeholder workshop (Oct 2013)
5. Industry discussions and phase one report (Apr 2014)
6. Continued industry and governmental discussions
leading up to workshop 2 (July 2014)
9. Early Recommendations
• Should be a vehicle for supporting broad-
based infrastructure-led economic
development
• “Separate but close” to government
• Core focus – “value adding” through
enhanced sectoral skills and capabilities
• Membership base – strength in diversity
10. Findings from phase 1 of feasibility study [1]
• There is an urgent need for the establishment of a new multi-partner
Indonesian infrastructure centre.
• That sufficient broad-based stakeholder interest has been mobilised,
expressed and observed to support a solid recommendation that the
concept of a new institute meets thresholds of need and relevance
across the private sector, state-owned enterprises, government
organisations and units, and international financial institutions.
• The role and function of the proposed centre is separate to that
required for government purposes.
• The potential impacts and benefits of a potential institute are
seemingly large, broad-ranging and important, given the centrality of
infrastructure implementation to Indonesian economic and social
progress. By contrast, conceivable funds and resourcing needs for a
new multi-partner institute appear minimal, attainable and
manageable. This balance between impact and resourcing specifics
requires further investigation and clarity in the short term.
• There is strong support that such a centre has a broad based
membership involving input from industry, government and
academia.
11. Findings from phase 1 of feasibility study [2]
• The main activities of the centre include: project advocacy, research,
training and capacity building, and the development of lessons learnt
from past projects.
• There is a clear and consistent message that the centre should focus
on getting projects moving and that the centre should outsource
many of the tasks it has identified and prioritised (i.e. it has a role as
a clearing house rather than that of a research institute).
• The centre would be best located in Jakarta, at least initially.
• Infrastructure topics and themes to be covered by the new centre
would change over time and thus the centre needs to be flexible. The
need for private finance and an understanding of how to stimulate
this was consistently raised and social infrastructure was recognised
as important.
• Subject to further information and specifics, strong interest has been
expressed consistently across: the private sector; government
ministries; state-owned enterprises; and International Financial
Institutions.
12. Summary of findings from feasibility study
1. Overwhelmingly all stakeholders agreed that a well
constituted centre focusing specifically on progressing
Indonesia’s infrastructure development is needed. Some
differences of opinion have been expressed as to the
nature and focus of the centre but all agree that the
centre should be independent (albeit with a powerful
Patron) and not replicate the work being undertaken by
other existing organizations.
2. There was little support for a research led institute but
enormous support for an evidence led centre for
discussion that led to infrastructure outcomes.
3. The infrastructure industry sought a united voice rather
than division via sectorial interests.
13. Synthesis of core functions
New research
& studies
Professional skills
development
Knowledge exchange,
communication &
dissemination
Independent analysis & peer
review of plans, policies
Integrating &
supporting diverse
stakeholders –
Jakarta & beyond
15. Best option
Combined model that involves:
• A small secretariat
• Strong industry connections and engagement
• The ability to outsource to maintain independent research and add to
flexibility
• Member driven but with close allegiances to existing industry bodies to
avoid duplication
• An ability to drive the infrastructure agenda and where necessary
establish best practice
It seems a “Clearing House Model” may be appropriate
The objective and focus of the centre would be that of a peak infrastructure
body for industry and government to provide the necessary thought
leadership and advocacy to progress and champion Indonesian
infrastructure projects.
17. Confirmation of support
We seek to confirm in principle support for the establishment of a new
Indonesian Centre for Infrastructure from the following organizations.
• Government
• State-Owned Enterprises
• Private sector participants in infrastructure
• The financial market
• Provincial and municipal representatives
• Other
Who else should be involved at this stage?
18. 18
Session 2: Establishment of Indonesian Centre
for Infrastructure
• Operational issues
• Financial model
• Organization
Prof Colin Duffield (University of Melbourne)
19. Operational issues: Services
– A forum for networking
– Dissemination of best practice information
– Advocacy for infrastructure projects (based on
application and needs driven robust, practical
research and analysis)
– Independent investigation, research and
development
– Up-skilling through professional development
20. Operational issues: Activities
Forum for networking
• Knowledge repository
• Dissemination of knowledge
• Communication

25. Operational issues: Start up
Need to start with significant activities – demonstration of value added
Conceptual activities per annum during startup (years 1 to ~3):
Establishment of Board of governance and development of charter
Public event Monthly (at least 2 held in provinces year 1)
Member only event Monthly (at least 2 held in provinces year 1)
Convene first member taskforce
Commission two significant research reports
Facilitate at least three capacity building workshops
Undertake a major membership drive
Indicative estimate of start up annual budget US$1.2m
26. Revenue streams
• Initial start up budget – Aid and/or
sponsorship
• Membership fees
• Functions and events
• Fee for service activities, e.g. training
• Research grants and sponsorship
• In-kind services provided by member
organizations
28. Proposed membership model
(based on CEDA)
Membership category breakdown:
• National Members: Rp X , say 8 Trustees
• Provincial Corporate Members (incl Gov): Rp
X/3, say 4 Trustees
• Provincial Business Members: Rp X/6, say 2
Trustees (SME & NGO)
• Individual Members: Rp X/10, say 1 Trustee

and academic sector
• Trustee only events may be hosted by members but
venue hosts are not permitted to be speakers at their
event
• Value for all members is sought in setting agenda for
events and research
• Additional key items ………
33. Key discussion points
• Comments on the overall plan
• Importance of foundation members …… who
should these organizations be?
• Is the proposed start up budget reasonable?
• Is the membership target achievable and is
the structure of membership sensible?
• What should be added to the Charter?
