Technology Transfer is the suite of processes encompassing all dimensions of the origins and uptake of know-how, experience and equipment amongst, across and within

countries, organizations and institutions.

Technology Transfer – Main Issues

Slow uptake of technologies that support sustainable

development, despite many initiatives for increased and effective

transfer of technologies.

Need to emphasize on specific and practical methodologies and

tools for promoting the adoption and use of latest technologies.

Absence of ubiquitous approach. Need to prioritize initiatives for

developing countries depending on their needs and status.

Technology Competitiveness in Technology Competitiveness in Developing countries - FactorsDeveloping countries - Factors

Technology Competitiveness in Developing countries - Factors

Technology imports• Small number of developed countries provide most of technological

innovations. Most of the developing countries are neither innovating

nor adopting. <Technology innovating economies..>

• Lacks capability to create globally competitive technologies

• Lack of access to information on new technologies and innovations

Technology infrastructure• R&D institutes and testing facilities in developing countries fall short

of quality when compared to industrialized countries

• Lack of collaborative research

• Isolation of universities and R&D from Industry

Technology Competitiveness in Developing countries - Factors

Pace of technological change• SMEs lack the capability to constantly upgrade technologies in view

of rapidly changing technologies in developed countries

• Easier in Process industries

Technology acquisition• Unit level technology absorption is low

• Lack of incentive, direction and capability to update existing

technologies

• Lack of ready access to capital

• Relatively high transaction cost

Technology Competitiveness in Developing countries - Factors

Unit Level Interventions• Smaller firms find difficult to finance and coordinate the requisite

level of technological activity

• Low participation in network of organizations and institutions

involved in diffusing information on technologies. (specially SMEs)

Availability of Skilled Manpower• Shortage of trained personnel

• Lack of continuous capability development of manpower in technical

dimensions

• New technologies are not adopted due to lack of skilled people thus

widening the technology gap.

Technology Development – Technology Development – ChallengesChallenges

Technology Development - Challenges

Can be met through innovations management

To be able to invest in technology creation at the risk of failing

Adequate infrastructure required for technology creation

IPR issues

Adequate information relevant to strategic planning and market

development

Developing countries have already lost precious time

Creation of useful and usable technologies is a major factor in

ensuring that there is opportunity to make informed and confident

choices in technology investment projects

Technology Creation should be best left for developed countries. Developing countries should focus on adapting, learning and

dissemination.

India – Case StudiesIndia – Case Studies

Machine Tools sector in India

A holistic programme implemented by UNIDO-ICAMT (International Centre

for Advancement of Manufacturing Technology).

Emphasis on Technology dissemination through sensitization workshops,

unit level interventions, participation in International fairs, Technology

missions, skill upgration and market development activities.

Growth in 2004-05 was 47%

Annual growth of over 90% in the number of CNC machines production in

the last two years.

50% increase in production of components and accessories.

101% increase in export of target group of machine tools – from USD 6.6

million to USD 13.3 million

While the Technology innovation is still low, the sector has done extremely well due to Technology dissemination, Skill upgradation, Unit level

interventions & market development activities.

Auto Components sector in India Indian auto component industry has grown from US $ 3.9 Billion to US

$ 6.7 Billion in 3 years

Exports have increased from US $ 578 Million in 2001-02 to US $

1000 Million in 2003-04.

India has become the 2nd largest two wheeler manufacturers in the

world

Increased competitiveness is due to increased capability of latest

technologies for continuous improvement when compared to other

countries.

Emphasis on process engineering skills, product engineering and

continuous improvement capability.

While the Research & Development activities are still at low level, the sector has witnessed phenomenal growth due to application of ICT tools,

Technology dissemination, Skill upgradation, Knowledge management in the area of Engineering Design.
