Creating an Environment for Environmental Technology
Introduction
Hari Srinivas
This feature paper discusses the policy and strategic 'environment' that is necessary for the effective identification, transfer and use of environmental technology. Technology transfer does not take place in a vacumn - a number of issues need to be taken into consideration, and structures put in place, before a transfer can be successful.
The paper is a distillation of lessons learnt from discussions and research carried out by GDRC. Private companies in Japan and developing countries, as well as institutions promoting technology transfer, were studied via interviews and discussions, and with reviews of company/organizational literature.
While the research focussed on environmental technology, the lessons learnt can easily be applied to a wide variety of situations involving transfer of technology.
The paper is presented in the form of four slides with accompanying notes. Click on the titles below to explore the contents:
