Technology Transfer
Technology transfer involves applying technology developed for one purpose to a new use or user. It is important to choose the right technology - one that is not outdated, meets present and future demand, is cost effective and productive, and helps develop local skills. Models of technology transfer include licensing, science parks, hiring skilled employees, and technology transfer units. For inward technology transfer to be successful, organizations must be open to innovation adoption - from innovators and initiators to later adopters. The Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan aims to integrate IP infrastructure to support achievement as an IP-based nation. Pakistan needs clear long-term policies to enhance technological capabilities through technology transfer and diffusion.

- 7. Choice of TechnologyIt is one of the most important aspect in the whole exercise of the transfer of technology. Many of the failures of imported technology are because of the poor choice.Technology should not be out dated.Technology should have present and future demand.More cost effective and productiveTechnology should have the potential for the growth of local skills.It should be used Legally through Licensing, Joint Ventures or through any other legal agreements.
- 8. Models of technology transfer A wide variety of models of technology transfer have been used over the years, The following are some of these models used for application.Licensing

- 13. Initiators: the firms who adopted the idea soon after the innovators Fabians: the firms who adopted the idea only after its utility was widely acknowledge in the industry Drones: the last firms to adopt new ideas.Intellectual Property Organization PakistanThe Mission Statement of IPO-Pakistan: “Integrating and upgrading IP infrastructure for improved service delivery; increased public awareness and enhanced enforcement coordination for achieving the goal of being an IP based nation.”
- 16. ConclusionsTechnology Transfer is very important to cope up with the every fast moving world, specially for the Underdevelopment countries like Pakistan.The key to success is: “Right Technology at the Right Time”Pakistan needs some clear long term policies for enhancement of technological capabilities via Technology transfer and Technology Diffusion in the Nation.
