The Leading International Academia-Industry Partnering, Licensing & Collaboration Initiative for the Biotech Sector--Toronto, Canada, 22-23 November 2010--Download the Summit Programme--The Tech Transfer Summit™ initiative is the original global initiative for international Biotechnology transfer meetings. A pioneering initiative developed not just to foster talk, but to highlight best practices and lessons from the foremost practitioners of tech transfer worldwide and lead the way in providing a forum and platform for learning, networking, partnering, licensing and cooperation. In the current economic climate, there is money available but at what valuation? Deals will be done but on what terms? Large companies do want to collaborate, partner and license – indeed perhaps more than in recent years, but what criteria have changed?--In such a market, understanding, knowledge and important connections to deliver the transfer of valuable and sought-after technology is a pre-requisite.

The Tech Transfer Summit organisation is structured unlike any other. It recognises that good business develops by first and foremost building a good relationship. Good relationships take time and necessitate trust and respect and perhaps most importantly, intelligent discourse. The organisers believe in quality and that by bringing together a high-class field of both speakers and delegates alike, and placing them in surroundings that allow for relaxed debate and negotiation, key components conducive to the instigation of real-time business can flourish. We know that stakeholders understand the existing processes. We feel that events are predominantly about three things: quality, debate and meeting key stakeholders that can make a difference. The Tech Transfer Summit North America provides exactly these things, and offers qualified TTOs and early-stage SMEs access to an unmatched group of senior industry licensing, external research, and business development executives.
