It provided sessions on the different aspects of technology transfer, ranging from IP management, office management, and technology assessments to actual licensing and negotiations with partner industries. The lessons and pointers learned from the activity will be echoed to fellow ITSO institutions to help them improve their processes and hopefully, may aid in the economic development of the country.
