(SIHUB) yesterday cooperated with Expara – a technology venture fund,

Therefore, he suggested that university should form a unit specially for research activities and research result commercialization to more easily approach needy people in the market.
Other participants in the conference agreed that cooperation and technology transfer among universities are limited and encountering difficulties. Adding to that is the trouble in registering for the protection of intellectual property, transferring technology and commercializing research results in a methodical and professional manner in order to maximize the effectiveness of products created from research activities.
