I. ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ISSUES, TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT IMPLICATIONS OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND TRENDS IN INTERNATIONAL

(g) to identify policies to favour technological capacity building innovation and technology flows to developing countries.

74. Developing countries should further advance their collective efforts in promoting technology research, training, development and dissemination, as well as facilitating access and exchange through information and technology centres.

Industrial trade, technology and investment flows

INDUSTRIAL TRADE, TECHNOLOGY AND INVESTMENT FLOWS

Trade, investment and technology flows play a crucial role in productivity catch up.

Microfluidics can replace an entire lab of technicians.

Moreover, the expansion of domestic processing activities with relatively high technological sophistication contributed to raising the overall skill level of the labour force.

Exchange of technologies.

While acknowledging the potential of new technologies, developing countries stressed the continuing importance of the movement of natural persons.

UNOCI has also sought to improve the technical capacity of some media that lack resources.

9.12 The overall purpose of the Department's technical cooperation activities is to support the efforts of the developing countries and countries with economies in transition, strengthen national capacities and promote the sharing of development expertise and best practices.

An agenda for action could deal with all generic issues related to enhancing productive capacities in trade, technology and investment flows and exchange of experience.

The Governments of developed countries should take the lead in transferring technology from the public sector, promoting technological cooperation and capacity building while at the same time studying ways of directing private sector technology flows to developing countries.

More specifically, the activities carried out initially centred on the evolution of investment and technology flows to different countries and on the main factors that affect these flows.

As part of this process, they have collaborated with DERA to implement new techniques, such as Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, C. J. Hayhurst and others, Numerical simulation of hypervelocity impacts on aluminium and Nextel Kevlar Whipple shields , presented at the Hypervelocity Shielding Workshop, held in Galveston, Texas, United States, in March 1998.

As far as technologically and economically possible, they intend to use high efficiency technologies for power production from coal, including supercritical steam technology, integrated coal gasification combined cycle and fluidized bed technology.

Some of the specific initiatives mentioned include the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI), the Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange (GREENTIE), the Centre for the Analysis and Dissemination of demonstrated Energy Technologies (CADDET), and the International Model Forest Programme (IMFP).

Catalytic actions on technology transfer (inventory of 150.000 available technologies, design and negotiation of transfer programmes and activities, and promoting exchange visits)

Technology management, road mapping and foresight are instrumental to support technology diffusion, national innovation systems, and technology capacity building.

Furthermore, it should promote strategies for technology transfer for development and work towards an international agreement on technology exchange.

Investments and technology must be allowed to flow freely in that region.

Mobile satellite services have been one of the most recent and dynamic communications technologies available to disaster managers.

11. Information flows and consequently information technology have been and are a major engine of globalization.

(j) Exchange and transfer of technology.

Even in traditional labour intensive sectors, competitiveness is increasingly a function of technological change, continuous training and adaptation of skills, and technological innovation.

As one of the international efforts to transfer traditional knowledge and modern techniques for combating desertification, the following scientific and technological exchanges should be stressed

Technological exchanges including exchanges of technical materials, information and maps within the framework of the cooperation

(b) Reactor NPS as sources of electricity (NPUs and NPPUs for energy systems) and power (NPUs plus electrojet propulsion systems, NPPUs for power systems and rocket propulsion technology) with ejection of the propellant (plasmas of inert gas, hydrogen or hydrogen bearing coolants) into space.

With regard to the latter, the Special Unit will facilitate the creation of linkages between technology exchange centres in middle income countries and similar entities in poorer countries in the South.

They slow the flow of technologies.

Such work should address aspects of the identification of specific needs in the area of ICT and e business, the exchange of experiences and the dissemination of information, and the enhancement of technical and managerial skills and other capacities.

As noted in the first technical paper of the secretariat on terms of transfer of technology and know how (TP 1997 1), multilateral institutions and programmes facilitate the transfer of technology by supporting capacity building activities such as strengthening institutional capacity, establishing research centres and funding demonstration projects.

Education, training and science and technology institutional capacity building

They facilitate technology transfer, create jobs, boost productivity, enhance competitiveness, accelerate economic growth and eliminate poverty.

As a school promoting technical and economic education, TTG is a kind of base school for the Tallinn Technical University (TTU).

(a) Is increased global integration a prerequisite for enhancing South South trade, technology and investment flows?

Technical assistance and information exchange

That's where technology is going.

C. The use of IT for exchange of experience and know how

Chapter I TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND INFORMATION

Capacity building initiatives to support trade and transport facilitation will most likely raise the general level of technological

180. In 1991 the Technical Commission for Displaced People was set up to deal with families displaced from their places of origin by terrorist violence.

These should be accompanied by concrete measures for international technical cooperation and information exchange.
