The general purpose of the NATO-ARW STP 978363, entitled "Overcoming
Barriers to Technology Transfer and Business Commercialisation in Central and Eastern
Europe: Solutions and Opportunities" was to provide a forum for the exchange of
concepts, successful results and practical business experiences in the field of Technology
Transfer and Business Commercialisation and in overcoming barriers to successful
technology transfer (TT) and business development in C&E Europe.
The basic idea of this workshop was to invite and bring personalities together
capable of displaying barriers to technology transfer and business commercialisation and
sharing their best practices in order to help CCE countries benefit from the value added
and from opportunities to develop their capacity to run modern enterprises. The meeting
also aimed to build networks of international contacts with the objectives of creating and
developing fruitful collaborative ideas.
