Technology Transfer and Wealth Creation
The Technology Transfer and Wealth Creation (T2WC) research project addresses a timely and critical topic of concern for APRU members. Technological innovation lies at the heart of a nation's ability to sustain a high rate of economic growth in the increasingly knowledge-based global economy. It is increasingly recognized that research universities play a pivotal role in stimulating technological innovation by the business sector through technology transfer.
The study looks at how universities transfer and apply new knowledge and technologies generated by research. It involves a multi-university study on the scope, pattern, trends and impact of technology transfer activities by universities along the Pacific Rim.
