2. Introduction1-4
 Technology transfer is the practice of transferring scientific findings from
one organization to another for further development.
 Which is mainly concerned with the transfer of technology from the
research areas to the “Production and Quality Assurance” environment.
 The process by which existing knowledge , facilities or capabilities
developed under R & D are utilized to fulfill public and private need.

3.  It is the process by which a developer of technology makes its
technology available to commercial partner that will exploit
technology.
 Technology transfer is the intersection between business, science,
engineering, law and government.

4. Reasons for Technology Transfer4
 Lack of manufacturing capacity.
 Lack of resources to launch product commercially.
 Lack of marketing and distribution capability.
 Form technology alliance to exploit each other’s strength.

7. TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY5
1)EMERGING TECHNOLOGY- It is a technology that currently is
undergoing batch scale testing.
2)INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY- It is a technology that the under the scale
up.
3)ESTABLISHED TECHNOLOGY- It is a technology which already
established in market.

9.  Proper Research – By proper research we mean firstly that in which
the result are reproducible and issues such as scale up.
 Proper work - This refer to work should be in proper way, so that
proper guidance will available for further development.
9

10.  Pricing –
-Too high price can put off buyer, leaving the technology unsold.
- There are basically two model regarding pricing
1) Price charged for a technology should depend upon market force.
2) Price charged should include all expenses involved in developing it.
 Publicity – It is important to identify and then approach buyer i.e.
adopt targeted Publicity and not blanket publicity.
10

11.  Partnership – This means working along with industry. Industry takes
it up, manufacturer and makes available to society. Partnership are
important to ensure your technology is successfully adopted.
 People’s Acceptance – It is no use trying to develop a technology
which people will not accept.

12. Steps involved in Technology Transfer3
1. Development of technology by R & D:
a. Design of procedure and selection of excipients by R & D
b. Identification of specification and quality by R & D
2. Technology transfer from R & D to production:
a. Master formula card.
b. Master packaging card.
c. Master formula.
d. Specifications & standard test procedure.
12

13. 3. Optimization and Production:
a. Validation studies
b. Scale up for production
4. Technology transfer documentation:
a. Development report.
b. Technology transfer plan.
c. Report.
5. Check & Approval:

14. FUNCTION OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TEAM5
 Coordinate- Coordinating between technology users and developers,
between researchers and manufactures is an important element of
technology transfer.
 Nature- A main ingredient for moving technology from a research
laboratory to a new business enterprise successfully is an environment
that is supportive.
 Link- Cataloging resources related to business enterprises and
connecting would be researchers and other technology developers to
outside groups and organizations which can help in the process of
starting new products, companies etc.
