SECTION B: Project report and reflection1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives.
Project is designed to promote new dynamic growth by enhancing connectivity of APEC Technology Transfer Professionals through collection of mutual understandings of practitioners in different APEC economies and experience sharing of various practices for voluntary or commercially-based technology transfer. The term “technology transfer” in the context of this project is used to describe the market-based process of commercializing basic research. This was done through 4 exchanging events respectively focus on technology transfer in public sector, technology transfer at industrial end, conclusion of practices for voluntary or commercially-based technology transfer, and releasing summaries of the events of the Project. More than 70 delegates from 17 economies attended the project during this process, and the forth event was part of the APEC PPSTI meeting in of SOM 1 2018.
Mutual understanding: on the first 2 events, we have invited technology commercialization professionals to share their knowledge and information about technology commercialization practices in their own economies, and successfully conclude the mutual understanding about unique and diversified definitions and understandings about technology commercialization practices in different economies of APEC region, such as diversified understanding about scope of technology commercialization, certain terms in technology commercialization ,etc.
Common sense: based on the concluded mutual understanding, the 3rd event (the Forum in Xi’an China) was organized to further conclude common sense about technology commercialization. With discussions had on this event, common sense about the diversified definitions and understandings is concluded, including interpretation of technology commercialization terms, categorization of technology commercialization subjects into 2 groups of academic entities and industrial entities from public sector and private sector, reference value of existing practices in different economies, etc.
Outcome: the Handbook is concluded based on abovementioned mutual understanding and common sense, as well as advices from many experienced technology commercialization experts and STI authorities, as the outcome for building of policies related to technology commercialization practices in APEC region.
2. Meeting objectives: Describe how the project met each of its proposed objectives. Please outline any challenges you may have encountered in delivering the activity.
Project regards its proposed logic as implementation plans, which is ‘to collect mutual understandings, to conclude common senses, and to promote policy recommendation and capacity building’ mentioned in the project proposal.
In order to meet the purposes, the first 2 workshops were designed to collect mutual understandings between public sector and industrial technology transfer. The Seminar were designed to conclude common senses and discuss about outputs.Mutual understanding: as mentioned above, technology commercialization professionals from different economies are invited to share their knowledge and information about technology commercialization in their own economy. All relevant PPT slides shared on the first 2 events are also involved in the Handbook, major outcome of the Project.Common sense: common sense mainly relates to interpretation of technology commercialization terms (mainly summarized into Glossary part of the Handbook), title and framework of the Handbook (which was formerly named as Whitebook, Manual, Guidebook), etc.Outcome for polices building: the Handbook is finally worked out as major outcome of the Project for building of policies related to technology commercialization in APEC region, as it offers a reference to many aspects of technology commercialization, and collect many practicing cases about technology commercialization in APEC region.
The first challenge is integration of existing work patterns and modes that the PO team has accumulated in former international communication works, and APEC’s standard on event organization. However, the PO team realized the integration by the first two self-funded workshop organized according to the APEC regulations.
The second challenge is to ensure consistency contents of the planned events towards APEC’s priorities and work plan of the Project. The PO team designed questionnaires and pre-meetings for each activity get delegates well-prepared before formal agenda, which has been proved effective and useful. The formal agendas are designed as leading speeches and open discussions, which made the activities effective for ideas exchanging.
3. Evaluation: Describe the process undertaken to evaluate the project upon completion. (e.g. evaluation through participant surveys, peer reviews of outputs, assessments against indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.). Provide analysis of results of evaluations conducted and where possible include information on impacts on gender. How has the project contributed to APEC’s capacity building goals, objectives and operational principles? Evaluation data needs to be included as an appendix.
All of ideas, knowledge and experience exchanged through planned events have been collected and considered as references of project outputs.
The first workshop attracted attendance of 31 experts from 12 economies as speakers or participants, and discussed about public sector themes like technology transfer knowledge system, best practices, development of university technology transformation;The second Workshop attracted attendance of 25 experts from 9 economies as speakers or participants, and discussed about industrial technology transfer issues like inclusive economic growths, practices of knowledge commercialization, technology industrialization and innovation entrepreneurship;The third event (seminar) attracted attendance of 27 experts from 13 economies as speakers or participants, and discussed about the framework of technology transfer knowledge system, as well as policy recommendations and expectations on promoting APEC cross-border technology transfer;APEC PPSTI group and delegates attended the fourth event in PNG, with whose efforts project collected quite a few comments for the first draft of Handbook of APEC Technology Commercialization Principles. Project is will seek to complete it according to the feedback received, notably that economies will submit information on their own practices for inclusion.
All 4 events have involved totally 71 representatives from 15 economies, including 2 female speakers out of total 11 speakers and 12 female participants out of total 60 participants. The PO team requested help from all PPSTI members for nomination of speakers and participants to all 4 events, and send invitation to nominated personnel received from officials. For those economies unable to do the nomination, the PO team has also reported experts we that we intend to invite, and start invitation based on reception of no disagreement.
Among all invited experts, some of them have already got other assignment at the time of reception, and unable to attend the event. Besides, the PO team met troubles with visa issuing on the 4th event held in the margin of SOM1 2018. Some invited delegates who planned to attend our event failed making their trip to PNG due to late issue of their visa to PNG as NMP to the event. Our team has discussed about this issue internally before, and concluded that except for reasons out of our control, timing of notice to attendance may be part of the reason too. We’ll plan a longer notice timing if we get to organize other events under framework of APEC in future.
Agendas of events involved specific module researching women in science issues. Also, the APEC connectivity include cultural and gender issues are important parts of the final achievements. The performance of project achievements has highly relation to the APEC priority of digital future, which means that the collected suggestions presented on the website are potential project outputs as well.
Before each organized event, the Project team conduct pre-activity survey on all invited speaker and participants in form of questionnaire, and successfully collect answers from 4 delegates. After each planned event, the Project team has also conducted interview with invited speakers and participants in different forms like oral interview, e-mail communication or contact via other channels, and further concluded results of such surveys into written materials. Both questionnaires for pre-activity survey and reports for post-activity surveys are included in this Completion Report as part of Appendix.

Comments: Attending delegates from different economies expressed their positive attitude on the Project. Professional ITT organizations like KCA (Knowledge Commercialization Australasia) also give good comment to the Project and willing of helping with composition of the Handbook on Technology Commercialization Practices in APEC Region. The PO team will make sure benefit of project outcomes to different economies with different local STI status but the same need to promotion of technology transfer industry and ecosystem.
5. Outcomes: Describe any specific medium-term changes to policy, processes or behaviour that can be attributed to result from this activity. Please include details on: What indicators were used to measure medium-term impact? (Example indicators:
type/number of policies/ regulations/processes changed, % of businesses conforming to new standards, change in sector’s commercial activity, # individual action plans developed, # agencies using resource or tools etc.)
How capacity has been built through the project. Monitoring plans in place and proposed indicators to measure impacts, including any impacts
on gender. Please summarise relevant information.
The Project elaborated existing technology transfer modes and knowledge system, especially those in developed economies like the United States, Canada, and Australia, which serve as a model for the region. Economies that seek to improve their capacity for innovation and seek to learn from these and other models in the region. The core goal of this project is educating economies on voluntary, commercially-driven technology transfer practices in the APEC region. Experts and representatives from professional organizations also got information about the diversification of APEC region by taking part in the project.
Project introduced innovation methods and industrial approaches into the typical understandings of technology transfer, include the concept of open innovation, frugal innovation and disruptive innovation etc., which could be leading ideas of vision statement; and the cooperative system consists of industrial entities like incubators, accelerators, and science and technology parks, which could be main focus of promotion in policy recommendations.
Regarding the expected outcome of benefiting practitioners from economies with developed technology commercialization system, speakers and participants from such economies have shared their knowledge and experience on cases like KCA (a technology commercialization organization for Australasia region), Blackstone Launchpad (incubation system developed UT Dallas in US) and technology commercialization practice of Tongshin University in Korea.
Regarding the expected outcome of benefiting practitioners from economies without developed technology commercialization system, speakers and participants form such economies have introduced their localized practice in knowledge commercialization, and discussed with speakers and participants from economies with developed technology commercialization system on experience and knowledge that has reference value for their own practices.
For the ITT industry, the Project significantly promote communication and exchange between different entities in this field between public sector (universities, scientific research institutions, etc.) and private sectors (companies, commercial incubators, etc.). Moreover, the connection between all speakers and participants by chance of attending events under the Project also hides a lot potential opportunities of cross-border cooperation between their organizations/ institutions/ organizations or even economies.
Regarding the knowledge system, the PO team has worked it out, which was finally renamed as Handbook on Technology Commercialization Practices in APEC Regions according to suggestions and advices from all member economies.

All attending delegates are government official in their own economies, nominated by PPSTI delegation of member economies, or international technology transfer professionals who attend events with approval from PPSTI delegation of his or her own economy. Please refer to appended participant and speaker lists for more details.
As for follow-up actions, the PO team contacted all invited delegates to assist with composition and revision of written outcomes. All participant’s efforts, suggestions and beneficiaries summarized from organized events have been compromised into policy recommendations and Handbook that has been endorsed by PPSTI.
7. Key findings: Describe 1-3 examples of key findings, challenges or success stories arising from the project (e.g. research or case studies results, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue, impacts on gender).
Regarding to the misunderstanding of concept of ‘technology transfer’, the accurate term of the project focuses on should be ‘knowledge commercialization’, which means application of basic research achievements. Furthermore, ‘technology’ would better match the stage of knowledge that project concerns, so that findings and following plans is going to select ‘technology commercialization’ as its key concept.
a. Innovation Flourishing Method, A Workable Approach for APEC Cross-border Technology Transfer
The project worked out a method named ‘innovation flourishing’ since its very beginning, which means it is necessary to have study on diversification of multicultural issues while having technology transfer practices, had been improved within the one-year period. This method means to regard the typical technology transfer as a core, and the diversified conditions of APEC economies as main body of voluntary, commercially-based technology transfer knowledge. This method is now better understood by APEC delegates, and some economies are spreading it to its region (in Peru and Mexico). Maybe first shown in formal technology transfer events in China, the information of Papua New Guinea was received by quite a few technology transfer practitioners in APEC region, especially those domestic participants. People recognize that the economy in the Asia-Pacific region does have increasing demands for technology transfer cooperation, to address specific advanced fields and shortages.
b. Innovation Thinking Benefits to All APEC Region
Project found the importance of innovation thinking like open innovation, frugal innovation etc., not only in technology transfer field, but also for APEC region development. For instance, professional organizations
like KCA (Knowledge Commercialization Australasia), ITTN (International Technology Transfer Network), Technology University of PNG exchanged their visions to each other and the whole APEC PPSTI group. Groups such as KCA are key to engage as this work moves forward in APEC as they actively engage technology transfer professionals. ITTN regards open innovation as its main purpose, with the unstoppable internationalization trend in modern world, and is going to build a non-border technology transfer platform to benefit to the region. Technology University of PNG realized the value of frugal innovation, as its main objective is to do more with less.
c. Two Ways to Technology Transformation, Technology Licensing and Entrepreneurship
Effective technology transformation could involve two types of efforts, one is typical technology licensing processes and commercialization cooperation, operated by classical technology transfer offices and centers, another is innovation entrepreneurship, supported by industrial entities like incubators, S&T parks and the ecosystem they made of. Apart from the standard public sector technology transfer, the innovation entrepreneurship mode has some best practical cases as well. For instance, participants from the United States introduced some of their initiatives , like the Blackstone Launchpad of UT Dallas, and delegates from Australia introduced their Landing Pad Events and Activities etc.. Those cases were developed in different APEC economies independently, but their main focus and operating logic are proven and beneficial to innovation entrepreneurship and industrial technology transfer.
d. Handbook on Technology Commercialization Practices in APEC Region
Project is going to contribute to the Handbook on Technology Commercialization Practices in APEC Region. Speakers have contributed viewpoints and comments among the four project events. The Handbook has been reviewed and endorsed, and will serve as a guiding document to technology transfer professionals fostering and behaviors in APEC region, which contains innovation methods, public sector technology transfer, innovation entrepreneurship etc. As a standard achievement, the Handbook has been endorsed by PPSTI.
8. Next steps: Describe any planned follow-up steps or projects, such as workshops, post-activity evaluations, or research to assess the impact of this activity. How will the indicators from Question 5 be tracked? How will this activity inform any future APEC activities?
The project has met the objectives in submitted proposal, so that there will be further objectives next time. Now project team is modifying a new concept note to apply for an APEC funding project in SOM3, 2018 APEC PPSTI meeting. The purpose of this project would be best practices exchange and demo training programs for cross-border technology transfer in APEC region.
In the meantime, project is working on a plan of taking part in APEC PPSTI Centers Meeting on June, Suzhou CHINA, which is a mission of PPSTI working plan in 2018. Project team is going to submit a concept note for extra self-funding activity within the meeting, in order to further track effects of project achievement, and do research and discussion about the field with more experts.
Project is collaborating with other APEC PPSTI project teams with relevant purposes. The online platform for project achievement will be establish before next project, and the publication will be posted on the platform as a digital version and update as appropriate.
9. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have suggestions for more effective support by APEC fora or the Secretariat? Any assessment of consultants, experts or other stakeholders to share? The Secretariat examines feedback trends to identify ways to improve our systems.
1. Further application of the ACS document uploading system, which would significantly ease secretariat’s work burden on project document management and efficiency of document submission from PO team (files could be really big some time);
2. Online access to project application courses like website, apps, ACS system, etc. Such access would be a very useful reference and guidance for POs and potential POs to composite project files more appropriately.

Module 1:International Technology Transfer Practice and Economic Inclusive Growth in APEC Zone
International technology transfer has gradually become a significant way to develop each country’s economy openly and inclusively, as technological innovation acts as an important impetus to the world economy. The economies have already possessed the first-mover advantages and abundant practical experience in the process of making relevant laws and promoting technology transfer which also leads to the dramatic economic growth. Meanwhile, the developing economies represented by China are active in making relevant laws and policies, making every effort to boost economic growth and social development by promoting international technology transfer. There are several typical cases: U.S “Bayh-Dole Act”, Association Of University Technology Managers (AUTM) founded by economies in Asian-Pacific region, Knowledge Commercialisation Australasia (KCA), Alliance of Technology Transfer Professionals (ATTP), Registered Technology Transfer Professional (RTTP), Chinese strategy of innovation-driven development and “Law of the PRC on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements”.
The session will invite the leaders, experts and policymakers of the international technology transfer industry to discuss each economy’s practical experience in international technology transfer and technological innovation development as well as the impetus to the inclusive growth of regional economy.

Module 2:Commercialization of Knowledge and Practice of Technology Transfer in APEC zone
Universities and scientific institutes are the indispensable subjects to carry out the international technology transfer. Knowledge commercialization, transfer and transformation of scientific achievements act as an important process to transfer the academic research results to driving force of economy. Therefore, most of academic institutions have established technology transfer offices and knowledge commercialization teams which are responsible for the transfer and transformation of scientific achievements, to assist experts with realizing the commercial value transformation of research results and create social and economic values. Different economies, regions, even universities and scientific institutes focus on building technology transfer offices to carry out a number of diversified practices about university technology transfer. The session will invite the representatives of technology transfer offices, directors of scientific institutes and scholars to share their experience in knowledge commercialization and transformation of scientific achievements, jointly discussing the university technology transfer experience that is suitable for Asian-Pacific region.

Appendix 4 Reports
Pre-activity surveys 1
Interviewee: Ms. Erin Rayment, Southern Queensland University, Australia
1. What is the most necessary ability do you think that an international technology transfer professional should have? Why do you think such abilities are more important than others? Are these abilities welldeveloped in your economy? Knowledge Commercialisation Australasia has prepared a Technology Transfer Professional (TTP) Capability Framework to outline the skills required by TTPs. This TTP Capability Framework was created in conjunction with the Australian Professional Standards Council to define the skills, knowledge, behaviours and values required by a team taking research to market, and outline career paths for those working in the role at different levels. More information is attached and can also be found here - https://www.kca.asn.au/advocacy/kca-capability-framework
The goal of this study was twofold:
1. Determine the requirement for professional standards within the knowledge transfer practice in Australia, and outline any associated recommendations for the implementation of such a strategy if deemed appropriate.
2. Design a framework outlining the skills and competencies necessary to facilitate the successful transfer of knowledge between the research sector and business and government entities, to be used as a baseline tool for the professional development of practitioners.
As a result of conducting this research, KCA has created a high-level (basic) capability framework consisting of capability clusters and capability sub-clusters, together with a definition of the sub-clusters. In addition to this framework, KCA has identified “skill gaps” which is useful to the association to understand the type of training it needs to offer, and the specific skills sets it needed to nurture. (To clarify, the skill gaps are the disparity between the TTP capabilities perceived to be required and the TTP capabilities perceived to be existing (at the level of the initial capability clusters, not at the level of the later detailed list of final capabilities)). KCA has also considered the requirement for professional standards within the knowledge transfer practice in Australia, and will address some of these identified areas of need as outlined further on. 2. Are you studying or adopting any innovation modes? Have you seen or experienced any kind of innovation mode during your work? Knowledge Commercialisation Australasia is the peak body leading best practice in industry engagement, commercialisation and entrepreneurship for research organisations. It represents a significant majority of the commercialisation offices of public sector research organisations across Australia, and works with similar bodies globally including the US, Europe and the UK to develop best practice in commercialising research, particularly at an early stage. This involves activities from licensing technology to existing companies, academic consulting to industry, conducting sponsored research and spinning out new companies and increasing a combination of these. Alongside KCA, Australian TTPs are continually innovating and developing new models to increase their impact and reach. One
example of this is the following project, which recently won the KCA Celebrating Top-Tier work in Australasian Academic Tech Transfer Award.
The project titled “UNSW Innovations’ $70M commercial win for fundamental research: a bank, a telco, a university, and a government found a company together to build a Quantum Computer” was led by the TTO of the University of New South Wales, UNSW Innovations. In 2017, UNSW Innovations launched a development and commercialisation company after securing an initial investment of $70M to realise a prototype silicon quantum integrated circuit. UNSW Innovations led the founding consortia, which included two high-profile industry partners (Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Telstra, $10M each), the Australian Government (as a first-time investor, $25M) and UNSW Innovations (via UNSW, $25M).
UNSW Innovations’ long-term goal is to leverage Australia’s research leadership in silicon quantum computing and establish a brand new, high-tech, global industry based in Australasia. The initial high profile positive media coverage has positioned investors as leaders in innovation and technology, and has generated exceptional reputational and research benefits back to UNSW.
Additional work is also occurring in Australia under the National Innovation and Science Agenda using the Lean Launchpad methodology to progress early stage research towards having increased end user impact. This is being managed through the ON program – see more information here http://oninnovation.com.au/
3. What can people do with innovation or technology transfer mapping of one particular region? Is it beneficial for international cooperation and economic growth? Yes, there may be potential to use innovation or technology transfer mapping to align technologies or areas of expertise. In additional, some mapping exercises have enabled TTPs from different countries to access contacts, expertise and partners in different locations to assist in assessing technologies, identifying commercial and strategic partnerships and coordinating joint-ventures. One example of this network is outlined below in Question 5.
4. What should STI policy makers in APEC member economies do to promote ITT and knowledge commercialization? What are barriers for passing experience from developed economies to emerging economies? KCA is highly supportive of each APEC member country developing clear and long-term policies to promote ITT and knowledge commercialisation. This will allow the development of a consistent set of national policies and programs that can evolve as the system evolves. It is essential that these have broad, ideally bipartisan support, so that all organisations and individuals within the system can be confident in the overall policy direction, and can act on the expectation of future programs being an evolution of current ones, not completely changed.
One significant issue that has hindered the Australian development of a vibrant and successful system has been the constant change in policy settings and programs over more than a decade at both a State and Territory level, and Federally. This has resulted in many parties becoming disengaged with the support mechanisms on offer as they cannot be confident that there will be support when they need it, or even be fully aware of the support available.
In addition, Australian universities and associated medical research institutes are being encouraged and incentivised to engage more with industry by Government and this is welcomed. Whilst engagement through commercialisation of intellectual property is only one component of such engagement, it is recognised as an important catalyst for economic development activity. There is increasing evidence that this is happening on an institution wide basis, but there is an opportunity to develop and adopt best practice across the whole sector through judicious intervention (further information attached).
KCA is not aware of any direct barriers that would prevent developed economies from passing experience directly to emerging economies. However, for this to occur in practice, it will need to be supported by inter-country collaboration and a structure framework with associated funding. Without these dedicated resources, it will be difficult to obtain sufficient time and support from developed economies to participate in these additional activities.
5. Please provide us one real cases through your experience of ITT and STI cooperation. The case will be gathered into one database as an attached part of the manual. Open Worldwide Innovation Network (OWIN)
Established by Texas A&M in 2013, OWIN is a not-for-profit innovation network seeking to promote market access, entrepreneurship and technology commercialisation. This consortium includes members of worldrenowned research Universities, TTOs and Trade Agencies encouraging a global culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. OWIN fosters win-win opportunities and helps companies grow faster in its members markets (Australia, Belgium, China and the USA) by assessing technologies, identifying commercial and strategic partnerships, coordinating joint-ventures and much more. Through OWIN, members have access to: • important partners in the US, Europe and China

Pre-activity surveys 2
Interviewee: Mr. Vance Hum, IMSG, USA
1. What is the most necessary ability do you think that an international technology transfer professional should have? Why do you think such abilities are more important than others? Are these abilities well-developed in your economy? Successfully moving technology from industrial countries to the marketplace in the developing countries, for example, can be done by the well-trained international technology transfer (ITT) professionals and ITT team. There are a number of channels for international technology transfer such as trade, licenses, and investment. The complexity of ITT channels suggests that the learning capacity of ITTN team is the key criterion for success. The professionals who facilitate this transfer should have a core skill set common to all in order to make the transformation be effective. In addition, the ITT teams who are facilitating this transfer should strive for diversification. The ITT team leaders should bring in specialists who are diverse in education, knowledge and experience and, ideally with different cultural backgrounds. Such group will provide a wider range of knowledge from which to extract information and build upon ideas.
2. Are you studying or adopting any innovation modes? Have you seen or experienced any kind of innovation mode during your work? As a member of the board of directors for CUNY-CREST (The City University of New York Cooperative Center for Earth System Sciences & Remote Sensing Technologies), my company has a successful internship program in place to recruit, educate, and train undergraduate and graduate students from CUNY CREST and thus create a diverse STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) force for IMSG and federal agencies. Interns will have opportunities work in line with IMSG science team, National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), and Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) to learn hand-on experience in earth, atmospheric, environmental, and marine sciences. Transfer of S&T from the academia to the private sector is important for S&T SME, like IMSG, as it is playing a significant role in fostering initiative and creativity, and a wide latitude of freedom in working toward established objectives and goals.
3. What can people do with innovation or technology transfer mapping of one particular region? Is it beneficial for international cooperation and economic growth? The transfer of scientific results to industry and research commercialization are vital to the development of products and processes, and ultimately, to economic growth. As the new technologies often drives most of economic and social innovations, a framework which promote fully availability of the transferred technology to the society, and allow consumers to be informed are essential to foster the future investment in the projects or initiatives with transformative potential. Such investment will not only target the technology investment, but also skill training at all levels to benefit the technology implementation in the region. These appropriate skills development at local level will promote job security, reduce the costs of future ITT, and mobilize the investment toward STI.
4. What should STI policy makers in APEC member economies do to promote ITT and knowledge commercialization? What are barriers for passing experience from developed economies to emerging economies? Without adequate human capital and investments in Research & Development(R&D), ITT from a developed country to a developing country may simply be infeasible and unsustainable. The implication is that ITT is essential for economy growth but not enough. Development of STI capacity in the developing country should become another priority, which is a key accelerator and multiplier of ITT in long run. Therefore, both STI and ITT policies need to be complemented by strong incentives with respect to human capital accumulation, R&D, and education, if developing countries plan to take full advantage of ITT.
5. Please provide us one real cases through your experience of ITT and STI cooperation. The case will be gathered into one database as an attached part of the manual. I recently joined the “Workshop of Quantifying Weather Impact to Airspace Capacity Pilot Project” in Shanghai which was sponsored by The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to promote collaboration in air traffic management between US and China. My company, IMSG is responsible for providing the technical and managerial support for this project.
Flight delays due to weather are an unfortunate reality. With a fast growth in air traffic volume in a global scale, air traffic management and airline operations will require more accurate and aviation weather forecast. However, in practice, the current aviation weather forecast capability in China is far behind U.S. while gradually improving. As a Chinese-American owned company, IMSG has worked for many years with USTDA on international projects all over the world including China. Recognizing the criticality of this topic to China, IMSG has fielded an expert team of its employees familiar with the Chinese culture and previously involved in China’s aviation weather market.
For over 10 years, the US Government has chosen IMSG as the best contractor to do key elements in weather forecasting applications including aviation weather for our home country. IMSG has modernized the traditional concepts of weather aviation for greater efficiency and economy to truly elevate this science and technology through our own aviation weather product, eIAWS, to world class standing on a global scale. Now with US government’s support, IMSG works with China to make similar advances that will work in the Chinese system with the ultimate goal of significantly reduce delays and improve efficiency, while maintaining safety.

Interviewee: Mr. Igor Rozhdenstvenskii, Martal SPB LLC, Russia
1. What is the most necessary ability do you think that an international technology transfer professional
should have?The critical ability is good communication with both technology providers and technology buyers. This implies:
a. Excellent communication skills b. Understanding business and corporate cultures of both sidesc. Negotiation skills
2. Why do you think such abilities are more important than others?
Because legal, financial and technology side will be well taken care of by the professional lawyers, accountants and engineers once the goals of the project are set, the interests of the stakeholders observed and trust built.
3. Are these abilities well-developed in your economy?No. Traditionally in Russian economy the role of human capital and human communication is underestimated.
4. Are you studying or adopting any innovation modes? We work both with Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) mode (production and use of codified scientific and technical knowledge), as well as Doing, Using and Interacting (DUI) mode, (informal of learning and experience-based know-how).
There may be, in general, three types of innovation deals:
a. Selling/buying innovative product/service (may use STI and DUI)
b. Selling/buying innovation technology and/or business model (STI should dominate)
c. Selling/buying technology competence (DUI mostly)In Russian universities the predominant type is c. The university innovative entrepreneurship is not too successful because of inconvenient legal framework. Type b. is also not well developed because of poor situation with intellectual property.
5. Have you seen or experienced any kind of innovation mode during your work?
My work is mostly concentrated on DUI mode
6. What can people do with innovation or technology transfer mapping of one particular region?
a. Identify the tech landscape of the region, and the driving industries
b. Identify for which technologies the region is technology donor (a lot of technologies and competence developed), or technology acceptor (external tech knowledge and competence is needed)
c. IF ACCEPTOR THEN: i. Identify tech acquisition and adoption priorities and
problems to solve. OUTPUT: lists of tech problems for the local industry to solve through international tech transfer
ii. Build a system of finding potential technology providers worldwide
iii. Help local industry to build deal frameworks and procedures to import technologies
1. Mechanisms – M&A, investment, joint R&D, etc2. Contact, communication and contract facilitators
(brokerage)3. Documental framework (contract templates etc)4. Funding frameworks (public funding leveraging
private initiative etc)5. External and internal innovation management
frameworks (how the acquired technology is efficiently managed)
d. IF DONOR THENi. Identify technological and competence strengths of the
regionii. Identify regions – potential customersiii. Build communication, negotiation and contracting
frameworksiv. Build funding options to facilitate tech transfer process
7. Is it beneficial for international cooperation and economic growth?
Of course it is, as the ability to use global knowledge and competence is always wider than any local knowledge and competence.
8. What should STI policy makers in APEC member economies do to promote ITT and knowledge commercialization?
Most important, in my opinion:
a. Build activities, networks and infrastructures for radical enhancement of communications between those who need specific technologies and competence, and those who need them.
b. Build communication (DUI) and legal (STI) frameworks (templates, databases, trainings, etc)
9. What are barriers for passing experience from developed economies to emerging economies?
a. Different business and technology cultures (language barriers, culture of doing business, business ethics, legal frameworks, etc).
b. EE more go along DUI rather than STI. c. Industries in EE are less susceptible to innovation and have
weaker innovation management frameworks and practices. d. Lack of tech and business environments to adopt foreign
innovation
5. Please provide us one real cases through your experience of ITT and STI cooperation. The case will be
gathered into one database as an attached part of the manual.

Interviewee: Mr. Adrian Joseph, Malaysia & South East Asia of International Business Innovation Association, Malaysia
As the output of project “Fostering International Technology Transfer Professionals, Promote APEC STI Cooperation and Connectivity”, the manual will contain the overview of four activities during the year, main viewpoints and achievements, as well as all collected materials through the full process. At last, there will be policy recommendations produced to STI policy makers.
This seminar is organized to shape the manual based on contents of previous two workshops, which is expected to be best prepared. Please kindly help us on the preparation by answering following questions;
1. What is the most necessary ability do you think that an international technology transfer professional should have? Why do you think such abilities are more important than others? Are these abilities well-developed in your economy?
Firstly, I think that ITT professionals should bhave cross-border knowledge of the local intellectual property laws & systems of different countries that they operate across. This is important to facilitate and realise cross border technology transfer.
Secondly, ITT professionals should have deep knowledge and insights of the local market conditions of countries so that they are able to create synergy by combining the intellectual resources of the technologies from the countries of origin with the natural resources of the countries where the technologies can be applied.
In my country, Malaysia, there is still low awareness on the need to protect and utilise intellectual properties despite government’s effort to promote it among the industries. The government has also provided funding to promote acquisition and
licensing of foreign technologies for use by local companies to create more value from our country resources.
2. Are you studying or adopting any innovation modes? Have you seen or experienced any kind of innovation mode during your work?
Our innovations are largely market-dirven i.e. we innovate and develop our technologies in response to needs and opportunities in the market. We engage a lot with the industries to find out about their needs and new opportunities, then we source and develop technologies to integrate them to serve the industries’ needs.
One of our modes of innnovation is to adopt technologies and know-how from one industry and adapt it in another targeted industry.
We also find that local industry players generally are skeptical in accepting innovations with unproven technologies, hence iwe think that showing incremental steps in innovations with proven results is more important that trying to push ‘disruptive’ innovations in the market.
3. What can people do with innovation or technology transfer mapping of one particular region? Is it beneficial for international cooperation and economic growth?
We think that technology transfer mapping should be implemented with respect to their potential applications i.e. mapping technolgies and innovations with the markets where the technologies and innovations can bring large benefits.
We also believe that technologies and innovations must be viewed with the context of their position in the whole industry value chain from material feedstock to logistics and to production, consumption and final disposal of the products or services being created.
Technology transfer mapping is definitely beneficial; as technologies and innovations can enhance efficiencies and create new market opportunities from existing resources. However, such mapping should be opened into the public domain space.
4. What should STI policy makers in APEC member economies do to promote ITT and knowledge commercialization? What are barriers for passing experience from developed economies to emerging economies?
APEC member should work towards harmonising their patent framework into a common platform like that being implemented in the Europen Union. Awareness should also be promoted among government agencies, companies and institutions from APEC members on the potential benefits of cross-border ITT and knowledge commercialization.
Some of the barriers we have experienced include lack of mutual understanding of IP laws and regulations of other countries, lack of trust in the fairness of external countries in protecting IPs of foreign companies, and also different languages used in the IP documentation (additional costs in technical translation).
Last but not least, emerging economies may also lack human resources with sufficient level of technical knowledge to understand and absorb new knowledge and experience from developed countries.
5. Please provide us one real cases through your experience of ITT and STI cooperation. The case will be gathered into one database as an attached part of the manual.
We are not able to provide due to confidentiality agreement in place with our working partners.

Interviewee: Mr. Fabian Santinbenez, National Commission of Science and Technology of Chile (CONICYT), Chile
As the output of project “Fostering International Technology Transfer Professionals, Promote APEC STI Cooperation and Connectivity”, the manual will contain the overview of four activities during the year, main viewpoints and achievements, as well as all collected materials through the full process. At last, there will be policy recommendations produced to STI policy makers.
This seminar is organized to shape the manual based on contents of previous two workshops, which is expected to be best prepared. Please kindly help us on the preparation by answering following questions;
1. What is the most necessary ability do you think that an international technology transfer professional should have? Why do you think such abilities are more important than others? Are these abilities well-developed in your economy?
I think the most important ability is “vision of a future”, because it is necessary that this kind of professional would imagine the future and connect the different parts of an innovation system in order to make this dreamed future possible.
In my economy (Chile) this ability is not well-developed because most of the people don´t spend time imaging a new future. Commonly our country resources goes to safe plans in a short term. Chile needs to think in long term and think more in an “adventure way”.
2. Are you studying or adopting any innovation modes? Have you seen or experienced any kind of innovation mode during your work?
Now I am not studying innovation modes. But in my work (CONICYT) we are implementing some innovation in our processes in order to increase the satisfaction of our users. Those improved process will reduce times and will increase the services for our users, especially to our scholarship holders.
3. What can people do with innovation or technology transfer mapping of one particular region? Is it beneficial for international cooperation and economic growth?
It will be helpful. But it is necessary more tools for make more effective this innovation. We need different coordination between Government Agencies, Universities, Research Centers and the private sector.
4. What should STI policy makers in APEC member economies do to promote ITT and knowledge commercialization? What are barriers for passing experience from developed economies to emerging economies?
The first barrier is cultural, for developing countries is mandatory a change of mentality. Think that the innovation is not a problem, it is an opportunity for everyone, not only for big companies, for SME too.
The second one is special courses or programs in the universities to prepare new professionals for this task. And the third one is the orientation and coordination between the agencies that fund science and technology and other agencies that promote business.
5. Please provide us one real cases through your experience of ITT and STI cooperation. The case will be gathered into one database as an attached part of the manual.
I don´t have a specific example for ITT and STI cooperation. But, I want to share an important case of public policy design of a program that focus in developed science and technology solution for mining.
The principal exportation product in Chile is cooper, and this mineral is totally strategic for our economy. In 2015 the government launched the program called “Alta Ley” where one of the mains goal is develop a new industry in the production of goods and services based in R&D efforts. To make possible this goal the agency where I work, CONICYT (National Council of Science and Technology Research), made a new program where a research group in collaboration with a mining company can apply for funding. The key point is, the collaboration between scientists and
companies is mandatory. In that way the transfer of technology is more efficient.
