Managing Technology Efficiently for a Better Tomorrow: STEM to Train Technology Professionals in its Annual Summit


Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Thursday, March 28, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- "Most of the organizations generating Intellectual Property could gain a lot more by fully exploiting their potential for commercialization. Proactively resorting to avenues like technology licensing could bring in additional revenues into the companies to further fund their R&D activities and remain competitive," said Mr. K. Vijayaraghavan, Honorary President, Society for Technology Management (STEM), while announcing the STEM annual summit.

Innovations abound across all segments and disciplines in the world, be it agricultural, engineering, or life and health sciences. Stakeholders are constantly on their toes recognizing, evaluating and adopting technologies to meet current or future world needs. Technology managers drive innovations and facilitate effective changes. They market and present pioneering technologies to the right partners for efficient technology commercialization and profitability. It is imperative that technology management professionals update their knowledge base with changing times and market dynamics. To address several critical questions pertaining to effective and sustainable technology management, STEM will hold its Annual Summit on May 15-17 2013 in Chennai to focus on empowering technology transfer professionals with effective tools to act as drivers of change.
