Key Success Factors to Better Technology Transfer

Marseille, April, 2, 2012

Scope

• Fully integrated TTT model for MED conditions:

– knowledge and people flows,

– evaluation & marketing of IP,

– operational and commercialisation alternatives, etc.

• Policy interventions & recommendations

– Regulatory,

– Research & technology-related

– Innovation-related policies

• Transfer of MET3 results

Contextual Factors

• Systems of Innovation Approach – Evolution Theory – Systemic Problems in spread of Innovation: – Infrastructural failures

– Transition failures

– Lock-in/path dependency failures

– Hard institutional failure

– Soft institutional failure

– Strong network failures

– Weak network failures

– Capabilities’ failure

• Market Demand & Competition

• System Boundaries
