IT to improve business, health and life and we are concerned more professionals can receive
quality projects and the project can benefit the community, society, and nation. In additional,
research commercialization allows technology created during research activities to be further
developed into marketable products for the benefit of the public. This is achieved
through technology transfer, which is the process by which technology, skills, or knowledge
developed during research activities at the research institution are applied and used in another
place. Technology transfer often refers to transferring a technology between a research
laboratory and a commercial partner, including industry, academia. The value from the
technology commercialisation depends very much on what happens before the product is
being developed. Thus, it is encouraged for academic researchers to embark for
commercialisation at the beginning of their research endeavours.
