New technology role for states

Article Abstract:

The role of the American states is likely to expand in the research and development sector of technology. The states' share in the federal research spending has reverted to 3%. State contribution is about one-seventh of the total federal investment on such programs. They are increasingly urged to participate in the management of science and technology policy. Research in areas such as environment may be transferred to states. States can also be gainfully employed in academic research. They can develop suitable contacts with researchers and consumers. However, misuse of powers has to be avoided.

Technology transfer from the bottom up

Article Abstract:

Government research laboratories can serve both military and civilian objective at the same time by transferring certain technological know-how to private industry as shown by the Gulf Coast Alliance for Technology Transfer (GCATT) of northwest Florida. It is a conglomeration of federal research institutes, universities and colleges. GCATT provides technological access to companies in advanced materials, biodynamics and a host of other high technology applications. The Government's liberal policy has assisted the laboratories in their mission to contribute to the economy.

Japan's economic future depends on tech transfer

Article Abstract:

Japan's economic wellbeing hinges on a successful technology transfer following adequate investments in research and development. This calls for necessary structural adjustments in the research and development sector,improvements in research facilities, and promoting collaboration between public and private research organizations. Commercialization of emerging technologies need to be achieved by nurturing researchers in the use of new technologies and creating research opportunities.
