1. Information on EST in Germany - a gtz view - Holger Liptow DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGIES UNFCCC EXPERT WORKSHOP ON TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY, BEIJING 18-19 APRIL 2002

2. Narrow view: Failure! Technology (narrow sense):  Know-how for technical procedures  Machinery equipment blue prints technical instructions or manuals.  Technology transfer: Process of conveying this know-how. Inappropriate because:  Technology not isolated from context nor nor from organisational structures  Technology often embodies organizational factors.  Narrow view: technology transfer fails

3. Tools Machinery Equipment Installation Technical Hardware Know-how Experience Knowledge Attitude General education Professional qualification Advanced training Science Product Physial good or service Property, Quality Climate friendly Management Production control Quality control Maintenance Technical Service Technol. Infrastructur Public Institutions Organisation The Four Components of Technology

4. Capability for Technology Development and Transfer 4 Components for Success Net- working Framework conditions conducive to innovation Capacity of producers and firms for imitation and innovation Technology- oriented organisations Technology- oriented education and training

5. Technological Capability (1) Capacity of producers and firms for imitation and innovation (learning potential) Creativity potential of employees Research & Development efforts Innovation friendly managerial structure

6. Technological Capability (2) Framework conditions conducive to innovation  Functioning price system  Competition and trade policy  Financial system  Explicit R&D policy  Environmental protection regulation  Industrial safety regulation

7. Technological Capability (3) Technology-oriented organisations  Technology information and dissemination  Consulting companies  Measuring, standardisation, testing, quality assurance  Specialist research centres  Exchange of information and technology transfer  Co-ordination centres technology assessment

8. Technological Capability (4) Technology-oriented education and training  Broad based primary education  Vocational training, technical/engineering schools  Universities specialised in scientific and technological subjects  Advanced training for managers and R&D experts  Intra- and intercompany advanced training

9. Creation of Technological Capability Networking to shape system Core element and prerequisite for successful technology transfer process: –Build up of all four pillars –Interlinkage of the pillars
