International Networking for Environmentally Sound Technologies for SMEs Makati City, Philippines, 26 April, 2002
(Sponsored by: Bureau of Small and Medium Business Development;
Technology Application and Promotion Institute; APCTT)

Rationale
The UNESCAP Asian and Pacific Centre for Technology Transfer (APCTT) has developed the Technology4SME portal and offers its support to its members to establish their national technology transfer services in the web by linking with the APCTT's portal. APCTT is in the process of helping nations within the region who have committed to establish their linkage to the network.

The envisioned INTET Phil. Information System shall provide solutions fit. It is aimed at promoting the flow of environmentally sound technologies to SMEs. Members of the network can become part of the flow of ESTs within the APCTT network and benefit from the innovations that is taking place in many parts of the globe. The system also shall provide a step-by-step guide how to undertake techno transfer with other members of the system/portals/asia pacific. The seminar includes a walk-through into the system. The seminar will highlight the tools available in the system for individual and organizational advancement

The Tech Transfer services available in the country can be linked/networked into an Information System, so that Technology Transfer users can easily access them. The premise is that, these TT service providers are willing to provide their services to SMEs. The portal becomes a "market" where there are TT service "sellers" and "buyers". The system provides an organized and logical system of services presentation, and a means for facilitating online negotiations and collaborations. It is geared more toward EST advancement rather than market activities for products.

Some locally applicable TT policies and systems can be unique to the Philippine's site. This supplements the internationally available coaching already made available in APCTT and in other national sites within the region. New developments from a TT agency can be featured in the Philippine site. Articles for SME and EST that is of great significance can be featured from time to time.

Adoption of new TT schemes can easily take place when sharing of info is opened between local TT agencies and the international network of UN-APCTT. As TT agents get exposed to other TT agents and clients of other agencies, new schemes can be adopted and possible collaborative TT mechanisms can evolve among TT agencies internationally.

The seminar will aim to get a core group of stakeholders for the putting up of the INTET Philippines node.

Additional information for international networking, opportunities for collaborations and the program is available in the attached annexes.
