Fundamentals of Technology Transfer
Effective technology transfer is highly challenging. It requires an understanding of technical matters in areas such as Intellectual Property and commercial licence agreements, a strong business sense as well as an ability to manage relationships with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
This course aims to equip those at the start of their career in KE with the fundamental knowledge and skills to embark on this process. A key driver for the creation of this course is to provide the KE sector with a gold standard foundational course on technology transfer.
