Project
EGM on Technology Information, Beijing, April 2002

5. Components of T.Transfer?*
07/16/96
Components of T.Transfer?
Problem identification
Determination of current situation, analysis & assessment of real needs (technology & capacity)
Access to & provision of technical information
Comparison of TiPs with BATs/benchmarks
Project- & facility-level technology analysis & assessment
Investment promotion
Matchmaking & negotiation of terms
Preparations of contracts
Transfer
Installation, training, operation, maintenance
Diffusion
Note that the above is for project-level industrial technologies & is focused on DgCs
Problem identification must be facility- & location-specific (cannot be undertaken from a remote site)
Following are dependant upon removal of barriers for which there is a growing body of literature, e.g.
--policy & regulatory
--technical (incl. Information)
--market barriers (financial & economic, institutional, skills & behavioural)
Need inter alia accountants, lawyers, engineers, designers.
