TPDUP: International Technology Transfer Program

Preamble

Internationalization of technologies and production is becoming a common phenomenon for attaining and retaining global competitiveness. At the same time, regional and sub?regional trade blocks are being formed ? formation of SAARC is an example. India can and should take advantage of its comparative advantages over other developing countries, particularly in the context of our need of promoting exports of high value added products and services. We have established strong technological and industrial capabilities in several areas which could as well be of considerable relevance and utility to other developing countries. A beginning has been made in exporting our technologies directly and indirectly to other developing and also to industrially advanced countries by sending experts and skilled manpower abroad, establishing joint ventures, undertaking turnkey projects, licensing of know?how, providing training to foreign personnel etc. Although, these efforts have been very useful, there is a vast scope to increase these activities for which a systematic and integrated approach needs to be undertaken. This calls for harmonization of aims and activities of industry, commerce, finance, trade agencies and government. There is a need for structured documentation of our technological and industrial capabilities and strengths, showcasing and demonstration of technology export capabilities and facilitation of technology transfer and trade at the firm level. Keeping this in view, "International Technology Transfer Programme” of Department of Scientific & Industrial Research is aimed at supporting activities relating to promotion of international technology transfer and trade including export of technologies, projects, services and technology intensive products, with India as the focus.

Objective

The primary objective is to promote international technology transfer and trade including exports of technologies, projects, services and technology intensive products.

Activities

·    Documentation of Technology Export Performance and Capabilities
·    Publicity and Awareness Creation
