ESA receives award for Technology Transfer
ESA has received an award for achievement in the public sector, for its
Technology Transfer activities, announced at the first annual
International Marketplace and Conference for Technology Transfer
Professionals (IPTEC) in Cannes last month.
ESA can claim 200 successful examples of technology transfer in the past
16 years, leading to the set up of 30 companies being set up in Europe.
The award, presented by the Mayor of Cannes, was received by Pierre
Brisson, ESA Head of technology transfer and promotion.
The IPTEC conference is a unique gathering of some of the world's leading
experts in technology transfer, who will explain and discuss the latest
corporate strategies, provide case studies of successful licensing
programmes and take part in interactive sessions on technology transfer
issues in different industries.
It is organised in association with the leading international industry
magazine, Managing Intellectual Property. Keynote speakers included
Marshall Phelps of Microsoft, Todd Dickinson of GE, Ruud Peters of Philips
and Robert Suter of IBM.
Around 200 technology transfer specialists from companies all over the
world attended the event, which was held at the Palais des Festivals,
Cannes. As well as the conference sessions, there were opportunities for
networking and discussing licensing opportunities. Companies represented
included 3M, Alcatel, ARM, BTG, Ericsson, Honeywell, Kimberly-Clark, NEC,
Nokia, Xerox and many of the world's leading research universities
IBM won the inaugural industry award for achievement in technology
transfer.
Stanford University was recognized for its achievement in technology
transfer, thanks in particular to the success of Google and DNA cloning
technology, which it developed with the University of California.
