Technology transfer is the process of sharing skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, and facilities between governments, institutions, and other organizations so that scientific and technological developments can be accessible to more users. Many companies, universities, and government organizations now have technology transfer offices to identify potentially commercially interesting research and strategies to exploit it. Effective technology transfer requires cross-functional core teams, action-oriented phase reviews, documented structured development processes, and integrated development tools to improve project speed and efficiency. Technology transfer helps research and commercialization, and can be protected under intellectual property laws and documents like assignment agreements and licenses. It plays an important role in economic development by increasing resources, further exploiting resources, and boosting productivity.

3. Technology Transfer Technology transfer is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing and facilities among governments and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services.

4. Transfer Process Many companies, universities and governmental organizations now have an "Office of Technology Transfer“ dedicated to identifying research which has potential commercial interest and strategies for how to exploit it.

5. Tech Transfer Concepts Technology implementation is a PROJECT with a beginning and an end Effective, cross-functional CORE TEAMS are needed to direct and empower teams Action-oriented PHASE REVIEWS are needed to direct and empower teams Concisely documented STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS is needed to provide teams with a common road map Integrated set of DEVELOPMENT TOOLS and TECHNIQUES improve project speed and efficiency

9. Technology transfer (TT) & IPR in business The private sector owns technologies and TT takes place in various ways. Product exports FDI JV Licensing Possession of IPR and its profit are a basic tool to recoup R&D investment, a strong incentive for further TT and a main source of business competitiveness and profit. Enhancing the business environment will make TT easier and attract more companies, and consequently further TT will be achieved.
