ABSTRACT

Technology transfer is widely recognised as one of the fundamental dynamics of critical importance in the context of ensuring economic development and achieving sustainable growth. This dynamic process involves the effective and efficient sharing and application of knowledge and technology among various institutions, organisations, and sectoral actors. During the implementation phase, collaborations between universities and industry, licensing and commercialisation processes come into play; the accompanying R&D and innovation ecosystems also play a significant role. not only accelerate the development of new technologies, but also offer new opportunities that enhance the competitiveness of economic activities and facilitate integration into different global markets. Furthermore, when focusing on the commercialisation of technological innovations, it is essential to meticulously establish and continuously update appropriate legislation and institutional infrastructure to ensure that these innovations can be commercially successful and find their place in market conditions.

KEYWORDS:

Technology transfer, dynamic process, innovation ecosystems, commercialisation of innovations
