    Technology transfer has occurred for centuries, moving innovations from one place or group to another. In the 13th century, Marco Polo helped introduce Chinese inventions like the compass and papermaking to Western cultures. In the 8th century, Arab forces captured skilled Chinese paper manufacturers after a battle, who then began producing paper in Samarkand. Technology transfer involves knowledge and innovations developed in one area being applied and adopted elsewhere, allowing the new user or application to benefit without needing to research it independently. It principally focuses on utilizing existing science and technology in new ways rather than expanding it through additional research.

    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

    The concept of technology transfer is not new. In the thirteen century Marco Polo helped
    introduce to the Western world Chinese inventions such as the compass, papermaking,
    printing, and the use of coal for fuel. In Islamic countries, knowledge of the technology of
    manufacturing paper came in AD 751 following a battle between Arab and Chinese forces in
    which the Chinese were defeated.

    The Arab captured skilled Chinese paper manufacturers and began to produce a paper in
    Samarkand. Technology transfer is in fact the translocation of innovations arising in one firm
    or country to others. In technology transfer, knowledge passes from the innovator to one or
    more recipient, who thus avoids the need to conduct independent research, or to develop
    projects, or to test and evaluate the outcomes of research.

    Technology transfer is the application of technology to a new use or user. It is the process by
    which technology developed for one purpose is employed either in a different application or
    by a new user. The activity principally involves the increased utilisation of the existing
    science/technology base in new areas of applications as opposed to its expansion by means
    of further research and development. (Languish et a], 1982, Wealth from knowledge,
    Macmillan, London).
