Technology transfer and regional economic growth issues
by Robert Premus, Ravi Jain
International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation (IJTTC), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2005

Abstract: This paper explores the potential of technology transfer policy as a stimulus for regional economic development. It provides information relating to university research activities and the resulting productivity growth rates in national and regional economies. Problems and barriers encountered in managing the transfer of government and university technology across organisational boundaries are addressed. The role of the US Government laboratory system, however, as a source of new technologies for regional and national growth, needs to receive more attention in scholarly literature. Endogenous growth theory and knowledge spillovers, regional technology transfer issues and technology transfer process are discussed in the paper. A survey and case studies relating to technology transfer from government laboratories are also presented.
