 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.

 It is the process bywhich a developerof technology makes its
technology available to commercial partner that will exploit
technology.
 Technologytransfer is the intersection between business, science,
engineering, lawand government.

Reasons for Technology Transfer4

 Lack of manufacturing capacity.
 Lack of resources to launch productcommercially.
 Lack of marketing and distributioncapability.
 Form technologyalliance toexploit each other’sstrength.

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

 Proper Research – By proper researchwe mean firstly that in which
the resultare reproducibleand issuessuch as scale up.
 Properwork - This refer towork should be in properway, so that
properguidancewill available forfurtherdevelopment.
9

 Pricing –
-Too high pricecan putoff buyer, leaving the technology unsold.
- Thereare basically two model regarding pricing
1) Pricecharged fora technologyshould depend upon market force.
2) Pricecharged should includeall expenses involved in developing it.
 Publicity – It is important to identify and then approach buyer i.e.
adopt targeted Publicityand not blanket publicity.
10

 Partnership – This means working along with industry. Industry takes
it up, manufacturer and makes available to society. Partnership are
importanttoensureyourtechnology is successfullyadopted.
 People’s Acceptance – It is no use trying todevelopa technology
which people will notaccept.

1. Developmentof technology by R & D:
a. Design of procedureand selectionof excipients by R & D
b. Identificationof specification and quality by R & D
2. Technologytransferfrom R & D toproduction:
a. Masterformulacard.
b. Masterpackaging card.
c. Masterformula.
d. Specifications & standard testprocedure.

3. Optimizationand Production:
a. Validationstudies
b. Scale up forproduction
4. Technologytransferdocumentation:

FUNCTION OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TEAM5
14
 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.
