Society for Technology Management - STEM

About STEM:

STEM is a not-for-profit organization, which provides a facilitative environment for successful technology transfer processes and promotes best practices in technology management in India and its neighboring countries. It is among the leading associations in India formed on the lines of international technology transfer associations like Association of University technology Managers (AUTM), Association of European Science and Technology (ASTP) etc. STEM has received immense support from key Indian institutions such as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and other premier Asian Research Institutions. STEM contributes in the professional development of technology management professionals in life sciences, food sciences, engineering sciences, physical sciences, Information technology etc and provides right guidance and assistance to inventors and corporations in matters of intellectual property. Since its inception in 2005, STEM has dedicated itself to fostering entrepreneurship and providing a forum for its members to participate and gain from global knowledge transfers.

Program Introduction:

The new era has seen tremendous advancement in the field of agricultural, engineering, life and health sciences. There has been a great deal of activity in the area of patenting in these disciplines. There is thus a need to understand research policy implications based on intellectual property and appreciate the positive it plays.

In today’s rapidly changing world, scientific and technological advancement is an important catalytic factor in industrial development and economic progress of the country. The relationship between intellectual property and innovations in life sciences & engineering sectors is of immediate interest in India. Until recently, most companies used internal research and development as their only method of innovation. However, companies are now proactively considering all sources of innovation, both internal and external, to remain competitive. It is thus essential to understand the role of “Intellectual Assets” as a key driver for competitive advantage. Technology transfer or knowledge transfer consists of developing practical applications for the results of scientific research and commercialization.

The STEM summit highlights current best practices in technology management while introducing participants to newer concepts and mechanisms.
