Popis: Technology transfer is a crucial element of economic growth in developing countries, particularly in the bid to upgrade from basic manufacturing to the production of higher-value goods. In addition to the constraints inherent in all technology transfer activities, academic institutions in Malaysia face two additional problems: they are prohibited by law from forming companies and they need to educate industry on the importance of R&D. This article describes recent developments at Malaysia's science university in Penang.
