Connecting research to market

This Science Commercialisation Partnerships (SCP) pathway is about exploring different ways for research and business to work together to commercialise science and technology, and to solve known industry challenges.

SCP is testing multiple approaches to partnering – from traditional approaches like licensing and contracting, to non-traditional approaches like regional innovation clusters and graduate-industry programs for universities.

Seven Technology Transfer Pilots were identified to commercialise technology for the agriculture and food sector on the north, centre and south of Vietnam. The seven pilots are:
