This paper identifies differences in institutional contexts (legislation) between Sweden and the UK and their effects on technology transfer policies. It then proceeds to examine how such activities are organized by universities. Empirical evidence from surveys conducted with technology transfer managers at eight Swedish universities and eleven UK universities gathered in Sweden and the UK during 2004 is analyzed. It is argued that the historical developments of these systems depend on different institutional contexts, which influence the modes of organization. The UK technology transfer system is based on similar legislation to that of the US, with IPRs being granted to the universities. The Swedish system, however, grants IPRs to the individual researchers, though with some new features — such as science parks and incubators — suggesting a change towards greater agent (university) involvement in encouraging technology transfer. This change indicates a breakthrough for the "entrepreneurial university" in Sweden.

Technology transfer plays a key role in boosting innovation in the economy. Spin off and spin out companies are important elements of the whole technology transfer system. Their goal is to develop and commercialize innovative technologies. The paper focuses on the processes of technology transfer in Poland, in which spin offs and spin outs, especially from scientific and research institutes, are involved. Part one deals with theoretical issues which are related to the definition of technology transfer, its main forms and channels. The second part presents main characteristics of spin offs and spin outs in Poland. Part three discusses the results of the research and concludes about the key conditions and motives behind spin o>s and spin outs in Poland

The article considers the forms and conditions of interaction of participants of innovative process, features of creation and development of organizational system of technology transfer in Russia and foreign countries. On the basis of the analysis the author points out the key and most perspective directions of development of integration of scientific and educational, production spheres and the state in order to form special mechanisms of the organization of innovative processes providing effective interaction between all participants.

Positive Impacts

More than four years have passed since the collaboration with the Kichwa jungle community of Santa Rita in Ecuador. While designing and building the Cocoa Cabin, we were able to see how technology transfer took place. Based on this case study we will refer to the negative and positive impacts of the technology transfer system over time, acknowledging the differences between a product versus process approach. Comparing three specific points in time where technology transfer was implemented in: the Cocoa City (2010-2015), the Cocoa Cabin (2013-2014), Bolivar´ Lookout (2017), demonstrating how imposed technology leads to misuse or disuse because of lack of participation and understanding, and how technology development, when escorted by people and collaborative processes, leads to successful technology transfer.

Effective Analysis

In the biotechnology industries, the technology transfer process serves as a crucial bridge linking public science to commercial enterprise. This paper argues that an effective analysis of technology transfer must move beyond a description of the technology transfer offices, and examine how a nation's technology transfer system is embedded within a broader national system of innovation. With this aim the UK and German technology transfer systems are compared. Important differences exist in the maturity and pattern of subsector specialisation across the two country's biotechnology industries. Germany's relatively late entry into the industry and its new companies' tendency to focus in platform technology and diagnostics segments as opposed to therapeutics (as is the case in the UK) can be linked to the laws governing intellectual property, the incentives for professors and scientists to become entrepreneurs, and the scientific resources available for commercialisation. Given the important differences in the profit and growth profiles of these product segments, the organisation of the technology transfer system together with national factors such as the availability of high-risk finance and skilled managers have a significant impact on the competitive prospects of a country's biotechnology industry.

Transfer Mechanisms

US colleges of agriculture and technology transfer offices have historically been in conflict over the management of plant varieties. In today's world, it is inefficient for agricultural colleges to have a system separate from a university's wider technology transfer system, since they both interact with inventors, handle intellectual property, market their products, negotiate licence agreements, and distribute royalties. The authors discuss a simple model that would allow these two currently competing systems to become integrated.
