 INTRODUCTION

It is a process 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 funding are utilized to
fulfill public and private need.

“Technology Transfer” includes a range of formal & informal

cooperation between technology developers and technology
seekers.

 Ways “Technology” is Transferred

 Consulting

 Graduating students (“moving heads”)

 Faculty moving on (“moving heads”)

 Collaborative research

 Patenting and licensing

 Service and outreach (“extension”)

 Spin-off companies

 Technology Transfer Agents

R&D Units Companies

• Universities • Supplier of technology
• Public Research and R&D to third
Centers parties
• Technology Institutes • Spin-off, start-ups
(institutions, labs etc) • Large R&D
department
• Competitors,
suppliers…
(technological alliances)

 TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY

1) EMERGING TECHNOLOGY- is an innovative

technology that currently is undergoing bench scale testing, in
which a small version of the technology is tested in a
laboratory.

2) INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY- is a technology that has

been field tested and applied to a hazardous waste problem at
a site, but lack a long history of full-scale use.

3) ESTABLISHED TECHNOLOGY- is a technology for

which cost and performance information is readily only after
a technology has been used at many different sites and the
result fully documented is that technology considered.
established.

 Proper Research – By proper research we mean firstly that in
which the result are reproducible and issues such as scale up,
stability etc and other practical now has been addressed, also that
in which problem were taken up in first place.

Proper work- This refer to institutional and guidelines regarding

IP Protection licensing modalities etc. which must be in place
beforehand. In the absence of these, decision get delayed, lack of
fairness in decision e.g. case of X institute, which came up with
good technology but since no guidance were there, kept running
around for two years and then gave up.

 Pricing – most difficult and critical area of Transfer of
technology.
- Too high price can put off buyer, leaving the technology
unsold.
- Too price a result in revenue loss.
- There are basically two model regarding pricing
1)Price charged for a technology should depend upon
market force i.e. impact of the technology irrespective of
amount spent on developing it.
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.
Specific journal, website, letters to manufacturer, personal
selective visit etc. are some common approach which help in
locating buyer.
12

 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 simply conveying the
details may not be sufficient.

People’s Acceptance – It is no use trying to develop a

technology which people will not accept e.g. due to religious
reason/social concern etc. genetically modified food,
irradiated vegetables processed beef in India, improved
capsule made of non-vegetarian material.

Proposed Team Member and Their Responsibilities

• central focus for transfer activities

• collates documentation from donor site
Process
• perform initial assessment of transferred project
technologist
for a) feasibility
b) compatibility with site capabilities
c) establishes resource requirements
Representative Review documentation to determine compliance with
Marketing authorization (MA)
Review analytical methods with QC to determine
capability, equipment training requirements.
Initiate conversion of donor site documentation into
local system/format
Initiate or confirm regulatory requirement, e.g. change
to manufacturing license , variations to MA if process
changes needed, etc.
15
 Review process instructions (with
December 8, 2021 process

technologist) to confirm capacity/

capability
Production Considers any safety implication e.g.
representative solvents, toxic, sanitizing materials
Consider impact on local standard
operating procedures (SOPs)
Consider training requirement of
supervisors/ operator
Review (with production representative)
equipment requirement
Engineering Initiate required engineering modification/
representative change/ part purchase.
Review preventative maintenance/
calibration impact, e.g. use of more
aggressive ingredients: more temperature
sensitive process, and modifies
accordingly. 16
 FUNCTION OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
TEAM
1) Coordinate- Coordinating between technology users and
developer, between researcher and manufacturers is important
element of technology transfer.

2) Nurture- A main ingredient for moving technology from a

research laboratory to a new business enterprises successfully
in an environment that is supportive for entrepreneurship.

3) LINK- Cataloging resources related to business enterprises &

connecting would be entrepreneurship / researcher and other
technology developers to outside group & organization which
can help in the process of starting new product, companies etc.
such linkage provide referrals for individual business
counseling, sources of financing.
