BACKGROUND APEC Innovation FlourishingPolicy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation is an important APEC mechanism for promotion of S&T innovation and technology transfer collaboration. Ministry of Science and Technology of China leads works in China that related to PPSTI mechanism. With guidance and support of Ministry of Science and Technology, International Technology Transfer Network (ITTN) has jointly applied “Project of International Technology Transfer Professionals Training& Practices in APEC Economies” with National Technology Transfer Cross-Strait Center, and is assigned for work tasks including APEC Co-Innovation and University Technology Transfer Seminar, organization of training programs.

In those bilateral communication we have made with other economies, these famous technology transfer organizations and their knowledge systems demonstrated a great influence. Meanwhile got an interesting find- innovation practice in different economies APEC economies shows apparent diversity character. And we believe that this assumption will be proved if any research about our assumption of diversified practices indifferent economies is conducted.

APEC Co-Innovation& University Technology Transfer Seminar had a smooth start in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre and Fuzhou Bailong hotel from April 14 to 21, 2017. We invited 22 delegates from 12 APEC economies to attend the seminar, such as Papua New Guinea, Russia, US, Canada, Australia, Philippines, Mexico and Indonesia. Meanwhile, we have also invited about 15 Chinese delegates, including Chen Linhao, Deputy Director of Department of International Cooperation (Office of Hong Kong, Macao& Taiwan Affairs) of MOST, Wang Song, Deputy Director of Department of Cultural and Educational Experts of SAFEA, and experts from Chinese universities, science research institutions and national technology transfer centers. The Seminar mainly focuses on talent introduction, collaboration system development, collaboration network constriction, which aimed to promote STI and international technology transfer communication in APEC region. According to work plan of the Project, we will organize APEC Seminar in July, 2017 so as to develop comprehensive understanding about technology transfer in different APEC economies, and eventually turn outputs of the activities into APEC Technology Transfer White Book which can serve as a reference and example for the entire APEC region.

RTTP: A common professional language speak to innovation advanced economies

Diversified academic technology transfer practice for each APEC economies: Business modes, knowledge system, policies, investments, incubator, professionals to solve common challenges

• Professional associations, like AUTM and KCA, has been established by APEC economies as domestic init iatives, but while international mobility of ITT professionals and cross-border ITT practices becomes increasingly active, connectivity at regional level faces challenges from STI itself and policy perspective.

• The project maps and interprets the trend of cross-border ITT development, promote shared ITT experience, knowledge and understandings, per proposing a common vision to ITT professionals in enhance coherence and synergy of reginal efforts.

• The project also identifies and analyzes policies and lessons learned in different economies, to give recommendations to policy makers on how to better facilitate STI commercialization cooperation and connectivity by ITT professionals.

To make this goal come true, we detailed the planning of the whole courses and divided into five phases as follow.

Program Introduction Foster International Technology Transfer (ITT) Professionals for the APEC STI Cooperation and ConnectivityThis project aimed to promote new dynamism of growth by enhancing connectivity of International Technology Transfer. ITT system and knowledge has been created for more than 30 years.

WHAT ARE DELEGATES SAYING?

Wang SongChinaDeputy DirectorDepartment of Cultural and Educational Experts of State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA)

It is an important part of China’s talent strategy to introduce and make use of overseas talent. Such strategy is also an important plan of Chinese government’s long-term planning that can accelerate implementation development strategy of talent support and innovation motivation, promote sustainable and appropriate development of China’s economy and society, strengthen openness of China, and facilitate culture communication between China and other economies. China welcomes talent from different economies with an open attitude. I sincerely hope that invited experts here can take this Seminar as a good opportunity to explore new forms of science and technology cooperation, share experience, and provide new motivation to people’s work on challenge response and realization of their dreams.

”Ling LoerchnerCanada DirectorTechnology Transfer Office of Waterloo University

In universities of Canada, there’re two kinds of technology transfer modes. One mode is the same as the one adopted in US, of which universities has ownership of intellectual property for technology accomplishment. As for another mode, owner of technology accomplishment have no relationship with the university under this mode. Technology owner can use resources and laboratory facilities of the university, you can operate your own technology, but the university will offer no fund to you. Ownership completely belongs to the researcher(s), which greatly stimulate researcher(s)’s interest in entrepreneurship. The second mode is very advanced.

This theory means to transfer technology accomplishment to industry sectors. Considering the long process to transfer a technology accomplishment to industry sector, which is very rough, let’s stop creating obstruction to industrialization. Such system has attracted many well-known professors to our university.

“

John ZhangChinaSecretary GeneralInternational Technology Transfer Network (ITTN)

We also wish to introduce to the representatives of APEC economies the innovative entrepreneurial practice of some of our diversified knowledge commercialization in China, and we invite universities, National technology transfer centers, and industries to make an introduction. before the two APEC meetings in Peru and Vietnam we put forward our work assumption, before that, ITTN has attended two APEC meetings, put forward a more qualified technology transfer idea, especially in the international technology transfer professionals, they should grasp not only the mainstream economy, or science and technology innovation more developed economies in the region of some practice or some knowledge and content, but also should be combined with their own practice.

The basic work of this project is divided into five phases:1. Through seminars, like this, to divided mutual understanding.2. On the basis of mutual understanding, we can promote some recognition.3. We could push some concrete projects under the mutual understanding. 4. We push some sorting and work to form some specific documents.5. The necessary promotion of the whole result.

Andy SierakowskiAustraliaChairman, ITTN International Committee Former President, Knowledge Commercialization Australasia (KCA)

Now I will show you what kind of challenge we are facing at the aspect of technology transfer. First of all, there should be an idea. And then we need to market it. No matter in universities or institutes, there are a lot of scientific achievements needed for transferring. What we need to overcome is that we need partners to help transfer these achievements.

Many academic organizations spend a lot of money on industrial contracts and even professors or experts, in which most of school funds are used. This is a big case revealing the importance of cooperation.

Luo LinboChinaGeneral ManagerNational Technology Transfer Central Center

According to data published by Department of Science and Technology of Ministry of Education (MOE), China’s total fund support to university talent and technology development is 124.4 billion RMB yuan, which results in over 80 thousand patents. Transformation rate of universities’ technology accomplishment is also low. According to research of Department of Science and Technology of MOE and Tsinghua University, transformation rate of universities’ technology accomplishment is only 17%. I got to say, comparing with famous overseas universities, this data is poor.

Here are some of my suggestions:• Under favorable policies developed by national government, local government shall

also develop corresponding measures to encourage universities to conduct matchmaking activities with enterprises and capitals, while raising and introducing professional service institutions, teams and talents;

• Universities shall also response quickly, and develop corresponding systems and policies;• As for service institutions, I hope that such institutions can communicate more frequently.

Ashley J. StevensThe United States Former PresidentAssociation of University Technology Manager (AUTM)

We have been working on technology transfer for 30 years, and such works have made significant influence to this industry. We have get used to the mode that professors can directly work with industry sector, to work with enterprises. Such cooperation can help enterprises to solve their problems, and create job opportunities for post graduates and doctoral students. In US, professors are allowed to found company with their own science research accomplishment, and to operate their companies while continuing teaching works. Many enterprises are willing to give large amount fund support, though such support also contains risks. Nowadays, US government provides around 3 billion dollars of fund support to small enterprises every year, so as to promote their technology development. However, it is hard for many academic institutions to obtain such fund, as they need to prove application of their technology accomplishment in enterprises. To mitigate risks in early stage of development, many fund support must be obtained in such way.

Xu YunfeiChinaDirector of Platform OperationsNational Southern-Jiangsu Technology Transfer Center

Take southern Jiangsu as an example, we’ve got very rich resources in education and enterprise field. The process of technology transfer requires capital support, talent support and policy support, which includes needs for enterprise transition and technology promotion. Technology transfer is definitely a process of matching needs of supplier and buyer, which is also a topic out of the entire process of technology transfer that needs to be discussed.

National Technology Transfer Cross-Strait Center is established under approval of Ministry of Science and Technology of China, and has been involved in China’s 2+N National Technology Transfer system. In order to carry out the project of developing and practicing of technical transfer talents in APEC member economies in Fujian Province and technology transfer joint declaration with ITTN, next, we will also hold the second stage of the training of talent managers in Fujian province, which is the part of the program, we also welcome the experts to our Fujian, and can fully understand some culturals.

Lu YizhongChinaDeputy DirectorAPEC Technology Transfer Center (Suzhou)

We primarily focus on two respects: technology supply and demand. We serve as an intermediary agent to this business, and we hope to establish “APEC Technology Transfer Alliance” with official approval from APEC. This Alliance will facilitate us to unite science and technology intermediary agencies in APEC region, those are engaged to science and technology accomplishment transformation, to work on transformation together. Such work mainly refers to information sharing, data exchange and joint organization of activities, especially joint organization of cooperation events. We wish to establish certain kind of connection system.

Yuan WenboChina Project Director of Process Optimization CenterShandong Chambroad Pe

Different countries have different culture. Before we went to a local place, we need to get familiar with their culture and methods of communication first in order to avoid uncomfortableness in the process of communication. Moreover, we also know that something like standard, regulation, data, and language is different. So we need to reach a consensus and make arrangements 1 to 3 months in advance to adapt to foreign work plans and habits. And we should abandon our traditional minds to get acquaintance with overseas habits and language. Now technology transfer projects still present inadequacy. On one hand, we did not fully research the standard and industrial demands of Russian pitch. On the other hand, we are short of communication for language barrier.

Liao YuqingChina Director of Industry DivisionTechnology Transfer Center of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST)

Green represents friendly environment and technology is the core. The bank includes financial concept. “Green Technology Bank” with financial concept about deposit, withdrawal and appreciation is the same as our technology transfer. So “Green Technology Bank” is a kind of international technology transfer. Its strategic level and importance seems so self-evident.

He HongGermanChief RepresentativeHemholtz Association of German Research Centers

I would like to be a role as a bridge between China and Germany, of course, many of my German colleagues, who have greeted many delegations from China, but they felt a little disappointed and it seemed to lack mutual trust. We need a lot of work between us, because both of us think the depth of our own cooperation may not achieve our own original goal, of course, there are some successful experience, there are many Chinese companies want to be able to obtain German technology, this will be a more successful model through looking for German scientists, so as our Chinese enterprises can get more knowledge, and make their factories in China become more modern.

Refer to the technology transfer, the current technology transfer in Germany is not mature, because of its own culture, and there is not enough capital to exist, unlike the United States’ open model, as I said, I want to help partners from different provinces in China, establishing a bridge between China and Germany to develop technology altogether.

Jack ChengSingaporePrincipal Assistant Director/ Head of China DeskIntellectual Property Ademy of Singapore (IPOS)

All of us know that these training is not enough. We should encourage enterprise to study. So National University of Singapore cooperates with Nanyang Technological University. As for technology transfer, we jointly conduct research in training, education and degree granting after discussing. Only training is not very appealing. As long as you have this capability,you will not only be the intermediary, but also the technology transfer manager after four-year university so that you can apply what you learned in future technology transfer. Here, we can see different kinds of institutions. This is more than a training project. We also need to be accepted by industrial circle, otherwise, there is no use for training project. So these are something that we did over the past 10 to 15 years.

I’d like to introduce Australian global innovative strategy. “Global Innovative Strategy” is one of the twenty actions under our “Nysa Plan”, which aims to promote the cooperation in Australian international industry and scientific research. Today, I focus on our most important project. We can also see that this project with a total of 1120 Australian dollars can support government to set up five innovation around the world, including California, Shanghai, Berlin and Singapore. At the same time, we can see that every innovation center has a professional manager or director to manage local center. We hope we can better promote Australian start-up companies to enter into other countries and markets through the five cities and regions.

Vance Y.HumThe United States Vice ChairInnovation Subgroup of APEC PPSTI Working Group

APEC has also been plagued by the intellectual property issue of technology transfer for years, and APEC treat the technology transfer from the perspective of developed and non-developed treats instead of the perspective of academic and technical industrial. Of course, we can also see there are different views on technology transfer from different APEC member countries and economies, each country has its own different views, which does not mean that APEC has not attempted to integrate the different views of the parties.

Sometimes, people think it is hard to develop mutual trust. So, how can we communicate? There are many good technologies, and we should make use of them. There are many clever people in this world. I believe we can turn technology transfer into a more general thing, and such transfer can then become what is needed by this industry. And such process requires communication and collaboration by all of us.

Roman RozhkovRussiaManaging DirectorAgency for Technological Development of Russia

The Technical development Bureau of our country is established by the Government, mainly to help Russia implement its new technology discovery routes and strategies. 70% of the production bases are funded by the government, because if your piece is funded by local government, it may not be flexible enough that the products you produce are to be adjusted and changed, and the Government's approval and consent may be required, so we will help any company and research institutions to implement world-class solutions to help them achieve competitive products by later directing guide.

Levan TatunashviliRussiaDeputy CEO (Innovation Architect)Novosibirsk Technology Park

As time goes on, in the five and ten years, future economy may be not as stagnant as nowadays. Many technology transfer centers now are emphasizing the existing and developed technologies instead of the early assumption and idea. Therefore, they invest less in this respect.

Alexander KvashninRussia Director Technology Transfer and Commercialization Center of Novosibirsk National Research University

Some venture projects failed in the end, largely not because of capitals but lacking personnel and talents. Just like my colleague said just now, sometimes we will find some talents, but what we really need is international high-end talents. We also organize a series of activities and we hope to seek international cooperation so that we can carry out technology transformation and transfer at a better level. So, in addition to developers, we also need agencies to help us with technology transfer. We set up a network specialized in technology transfer. Now we have 50 members covering Russia. We also radiate Asia for there are lots of outstanding technology transfer centers.

ITTN has noticed that company has taken the transfer as well as public sector to company transfer, the transfer leave to the country level. I mean it takes the transfer to country level ITTN, it makes connect with another company. It makes between countries and companies in china.I think a number of you are quite familiar with taking transfer, and some of you are not. This presentation is a part of my training in Suzhou. Part one is going to be very easy.

Vance Y.HumThe United States Vice ChairInnovation Subgroup of APEC PPSTI Working Group

Like me , actually I handed over my own company's technology trading activities to the law. its help is not confined to technology transfer, but also in international taxation. This is where technology transfers are now strange, and officials involved in the government do not need to be certified technology transfer managers, who may have been certified by the Government's in-house technology transfer qualification.

“”

Alba SánchezMexicoDeputy Technology Foresight and Technology Transfer OfficerResearch and Technology Development Center for Electrochemistry

Mexico is more inclined to use the existing results to work, for new things, everyone feels that there is a risk, is not accustomed to engage in commercial work. So the current technology transfer environment in Mexico is not mature, everyone is entirely in the use of domestic conditions for technology transfer and commercialization. Communication activities such as training, the other economies are basically a mature system in one or a few areas, and we should make a change in this.

This is one comment about the idea. I’m going into when you’re going into the background IP and trying to foresee, you know, it’s going on in the market. I think that what tend to happen is that people are ready to do one certain thing so they only look in one way. And so IBM, you know, they were set in going up region, that was going to be what was successful and also give all the information they gathered was to support that cards. And so when you’re gathering information, you ‘re gathering from all sources, from many sources and then make sure that your judgment is excused by what you want to show but you ‘re actually willing to take the except the honesty they come from that and do something here.

John Taylor McEntireThe United States Director of Intellectual Property CommercializationQatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development

How do we avoid these pitfalls? Before starting research, you should look at the white space, look at the competition, look at the existing research. Then mid-research, do IP asset management, and technology asset management, and try to focus on those things. Market acceptance, you know, the final stage product commercialization.

The biggest challenge is entrepreneurship. People will develop a large number of new technologies, Russia remains one of the main sources of innovation. Russia has more frequent exchanges with Latvia and Israel because there is no linguistic problem. RTTP is served as a marketing platform, we will upload the project to the system, and the project information is transferred outward. Thank you for organizing this event. We used to have a meeting in Europe, and this time I found that there were plenty of opportunities in Asia. I am delighted to share your talent training system with the Secretary-General, hoping to provide us with some credentials as a proof of attendance.

I believe that building a Philippine technology transfer network can make full use of existing resources in the Philippines

“Apeame MorePapua New GuineaIndustry Liaison OfficerResearch, Science& Technology Secretariat

Papua New Guinea is poor at developing science and technology and has a large agricultural population. We have the intellectual Property Office. Recently I am drafting domestic intellectual property policy. The first of our problems is that our technology transfer is still backward. The second is our infrastructure. It also hinders the commercialization of research achievements to some degree. Papua New Guinea is still in a stage of planning but no practice. Perhaps it would be a better way to build a student union of technology transfer later.

In terms of Intellectual property, they were also issues regarding to legislation, which is in Russia, maybe developed in recent years. I don`t know. But actually the situation is not. IPO In Moscow in Russia, especially we have constituted for international industrial cooperation which aims to technology transfer between Russia and other countries. Our conductor, Michael leggy. Give the proposal to ITTN to reinforce Of course, our cooperation in this field, I think this is ongoing process on both sides and all I want to tell in that.

About the research center. ETT, it’s a kind of government bound research center, it’s kind of like the similar type of research center. What we used to know is that innovation takes place and confidence. and it’s only certain people we meet in R&D department that are doing this innovation, so very few people who actually. Some were related to. They were always working the new technology, if something tangible or bitter or totally new, we used to think that it’s a and it’s sitting there and what matters is how many patterns you get, how many scientific publications, how economic the product is.

We also issued so-called initiative of Tech Transform, which are the more of motive and transformation of science and technology. Actually it’s a menace of law. We call it Chinese version of Final Action and also released much The real situation here in China is that in some poor areas or in some universities, the portion has been higher than that. It’s about seventy percent, seventy-five percent are required to the team, to the primary personnel. we want to encourage more of the researchers or tech transform professionals to give them more incentives to do more research and tech transform. And also they try to set up some service system.

The two slides as I mentioned that introduced two years ago in Shenzhen about my basic idea or basic understanding about the innovation. The first is so-called law of discontinuity, which is if you want to develop sustainably, The other thing I think about is, you know, the thinking of innovation. The basic idea is that if you can take advantage of inner resources of our basic resources things more efficiently.

Wonderful Moment APEC Co-Innovation & University Technology Transfer Seminar——Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition center

By 2-days wonderful speech experts and scholars have established a profound friendship and working in cooperation with each other.

The Deputy Director of the Department for International Cooperation, Chen Lin Hao, attended the meeting and made a speech on the Seminar. Introduced the situation about technology transfer and innovative collaborative in our country, and looked forward to the results of this seminar to play a greater role in the APEC economies.

This seminar focused on APEC regional technology Transfer talent introduction and cooperation system construction, promoting the APEC regional economies of science and technology innovation and international technology transfer exchanges and cooperation. Through the existing innovation practice systems can be used as the common technology transfer language that we can speak with innovation practitioners in different economies. With this common language, innovation practitioners from different economies can do communication about innovation practices in their own economies, and learn about innovation experience in other economies.
