Technology transfer is the process of transferring scientific findings or technologies developed at ASTRI to the industries for the purpose of further development and/or commercialisation. It can be done through technology licensing, contract services, Industry Collaborative Project and other legal means.
The process of technology transfer & commercialisation typically includes:
- Identifying new technologies
- Protecting technologies through intellectual property rights (e.g. patents and copyrights)
- Utilising various development and commercialisation means such as licensing to enable technology transfer to private sector companies
