Information and communication technology (ICT)

In line with the mandate of Policy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI) to intensify cooperation among relevant stakeholders -- government, private sector and academia, and also to engage different players involved in joint scientific research and in the whole-chain cycle of technology inception, dissemination and commercialization, China proposes an APEC Technology Commercialization Program in Suzhou, China on 14-15 September 2014. During the two days, technology managers as well as representatives from government, universities and private sector will be invited to give presentations on topics including innovation policies, intellectual property protection, and technology transfer models and best practices to support voluntary, market-driven commercialization of science and technology. The participants can take this opportunity to exchange views on how to promote technology transfer within their own economies while identifying opportunities to strengthen regional cooperation in this regard.
