If you think about the development of inventions and commercialization, the nexus there is the technology transfer professional. Low-hanging fruit that actually doesn't cost anything is recognizing that the unique skill set of science, business, and law exists within technology transfer professionals. Having mechanisms where those technology transfer practitioners from around Canada come together, such as this June 25 meeting, are great resources to allow the transfer of ideas, approaches, contacts, and template agreements, to allow for better technology transfer within Canada. I would suggest encouraging the connection of technology transfer professionals throughout, such as at events that we do at AUTM and elsewhere.
