Transfer of technology stages

In actuality, a number of technology transfer points and documents are generated as prospective validation proceeds through the various stages of product development. These stages of technology transfer in terms of scale-up are illustrated in Fig. 2. 

B. Process Design as the First Stage of Technology Transfer... 

A pilot production is at about a lOOx level in general, the full scale-batch and the technology transfer at this stage should comprise preformulation information, product development report, and product stability and analytical methods reports. This is the time to finalize the batch production documentation for the lOOx level. The objectives of prevalidation trials at this stage are to qualify and optimize the process in full-scale production equipment and facilities. 

This workshop focused on factors such as work processes, systems, and technologies that could enable and accelerate the pace of innovation and increase the yield of major innovations from work in the basic chemical sciences. More specifically, speakers identified teamwork, commitment, standardized portfolio management, clear goals, well-defined milestones, and effective technology transfer as some of the characteristics of innovative institutions and practices. Successful approaches to innovation have taken place in different environments and between different environments—despite infrastmcture and cultural differences, both interdisciplinary collaborations and collaborations between industry and academia have proven beneficial for all parties. Funding must also be available to promote innovation at stages of research often ignored.
