Southern African Research and Innovation Management Association (SARIMA)’s Post

Riding on the momentum of the Cape Town Technology Transfer Week, ATTP Council held its once-a-year hybrid meeting right after members' participation at the AUTM-WIPO International K/TT Summit. While time is always scarce in an international event of this scale with focused discussion of diverse topics of innovation and tech transfer, the ATTP council made some important milestone decisions that will make the Alliance more agile in building up a glocal community of practice for existing and future RTTPs. For like-minded peer tech transfer associations interested in joining the ATTP, a new associate member category will be created to those organizations who are ready, willing but requires some further planning to develop their capacity building capability. Additional information will be coming soon. The Alliance is grateful to Southern African Research and Innovation Management Association (SARIMA) for availing ATTP the opportunity as a co-organizer of this meaningful week, and wish our exchange will leave long lasting foot prints for the tech transfer communities in Africa and beyond.
