Ensure effective technology transfer to partners by developing flexible and fast adoption pathways.

Other Information:

Aspiration: Ensure effective technology transfer to partners by continuing to develop flexible and fast adoption pathways. Activities: • Business model clarity – Develop and use a whole-of-system customised approach to the engagement model with our partners • Paths to impact – Develop a wider range of flexible delivery mechanisms for transferring CSIRO technologies to end users, in a timely, more transparent and effective way • Investment and Business Development interaction – Ensure closer linkages between investment decisions and path to market plans • IP management – Create a principled framework for IP rights, protection and engagement with our partners, which is capable of adapting to sectoral needs • Commercialisation – Build from a strong foundation of improved commercialisation processes to increase impact and adoption Outcomes: • Better and faster technology uptake and adoption, with corresponding increased satisfaction from our clients and partners • CSIRO’s reputation for effective delivery of quality S&T outcomes will grow as a result of enhanced knowledge management (including IP practices and promotion) • Appropriate returns from the transfer and commercialisation of CSIRO IP will continue to increase, for investment back into our science
