TRL’s measure the maturity level of a technology throughout its research, development and deployment phase progression. TRL’s are based on a scale from 1 to 9, with 9 being the most mature technology. The last part of the session dealt with commercialisation of technology and tech transfer. Technology transfer, or Tech Transfer a.k.a. transfer of technology (), is a process in which technology or knowledge developed at one organisation is transferred to another, typically for the purpose of commercialisation. Technology transfer can be accomplished through a variety of methods including licenses to use protected intellectual property, and may also include exchange of know-how and materials. Commercialising technology requires the ability to identify potential markets, develop products that satisfy those needs, and manage distribution channels. The session was informative.
