Technology Transfer Network and
Matchmaking Systems: a LA&C Perspective
Daniel Bouille
Bariloche Foundation - Argentina
Content
• Topics to be included as part of an
information systems from a LA&C
perspective.
• Role of Networks in the development,
adaptation and transfer of technology.

Conceptual Framework
• Technology Transfer: Broader approach
(IPCC Special Report)
• To address Climate Change in a framework
of Sustainable Development
• Key roles: stakeholders and institutions
(both public and private) and system
coordination (Legal, regulatory, market)
• Key institutions: the State and the market
3
Some Key Issues
• Information as a cross-cutting issue among
the five components of TT
• The challenge is sustainable TT: to build the
market
• Information on: Who, What, How, Where
TT should take place

LA&C perspective.

LA&C Framework
• Reform process creating a totally new environment with new
rules, behavior and challenges. A market oriented
framework in a globalization context, looking for
technologies that increase efficiency and competitiveness.
• There is no room for subsidies to address Global
Environmental Issues. Local subsidies to not cost-effective
EST should not be expected.
• CC: Vulnerability and adaptation as a major priority in the
Region.
• Results of the LA&C Regional Workshop on TT.
State of the arts knowledge, generally put as a priority, is not
the main issue from a LA&C. Offer is relatively well known.
Just the “hard” issues (engineering dimension) knowledge
must be complemented by other most “soft” issues, such
as
6
policies and strategies.
LA&C General Topics
• Public Policies on TT:
– Policy design and implementation: estrategies, measures, mechanisms,
instruments, tools, actions.
– Policy coordination: cross cutting issues.
– Oversight and monitoring.
• Institutional issues, among them:
– responsabilities, coordination, relation (knowledge diffussion, public-public
relations, public-private partnership, R&D effectiveness, private-private joint
activities).
• Stakeholders:
– identification and role, especially public and private sectors and international
and regional agencies and donors.
• Capacity Development:
– policies, economics of TT, impact assesment, lyfe cycle assesment, legal
and regulatory framework, data base development and use, standards
setting, environmental management systems, recyclied concept,....
• Top down versus bottom up approach in TT

Public Policies for promotion of EST
development, adaptation and transfer
•
•

•
•
A complex issue, including:
Development policies (multidimensional
aspects of sustainability)
Technology policies (Promoting
environmentally sound technologies and
addressing Development policies)
Environmental policies (including regulation)
Sector Policies (Energy, Industry, Transport,
...)
Institutional strengthening and development

Some Specific Topics
• Indicators, instrument and management for an environmental
order.
• Technology adaptation, environmental assesment, social
participation.
• Information assesment:: quality, appropriate, reliable,...
• New process to aproach and address TT.
• Strategy to build the market: information and marketing,
technology, training and capacity development, financing,
industrial policy, legislation and regulation.
• New business model identification.
• The role of key international organizations and donors (WTO).
• The technology cycle:from needs to waste disposal
• Cost-benefit evaluation of TT Programs.
• Technology negotiation, assesment, forecasting.
• ....
