Technology Transfer = Value Creation

      

INTRODUCTION

In this Blog, I explain the business activities of JZAM Inc. trading as Technology Transfer International. On the face of it, Technology Transfer may sound like a dry topic. However, for savvy entrepreneurs, looking to provide Value to clients by finding new markets for their products, 'Tech Transfer' is a very lucrative and global business.

To kick-off, here are a few definitions of ‘Technology Transfer’ substantiated in my Blog with real world examples, news releases, links and video, of how JZAM Inc. is working with international business partners and North American technology providers, to generate Measurable  Value to all parties:  

What is Technology Transfer?

There are many definitions of ‘Technology Transfer’. Here are a few I found in a Google search that reflect my business activities:-

 ·         Technology transfer is the intentional communication (sharing) of knowledge, expertise, facilities, equipment, and other    resources for application to military and non-military systems.

 ·         The movement of modern or scientific methods of production or distribution from one enterprise, institution, or country to another, as through foreign investment, international trade, licensing of patent rights, technical assistance, or training

 ·         The transfer of technology or know-how between organisations through licensing or marketing agreements, co-development arrangements, training or the exchange of personnel

 

JZAM Inc. t/as Technology Transfer International

Capitalizing on 25 years of global business experience, JZAM Inc aligns with international business partners to offer new export market opportunities to Canadian and US corporations in the Aviation, Military and Oil & Gas/Renewable Energy sectors. JZAM Inc performs the facilitation and deal-brokering role of a Technology Transfer agent. Typically, these transactions are in the form of a commercial transfer of hardware, software, product-technology and associated Support, Training and Maintenance services. These activities are performed under formal licensor/licensee agreements. A Sales Agency agreement is entered into upfront between JZAM Inc and the corporation supplying the Technology, Products, Training and Support Services.  

Case Study: India – a Massive Market 

India is a surging growth economy. In fact this nation of 1.2bn people reflected the second highest GDP growth globally in 2008-2009. (China was first). The Financial Post and Canada Business Week recently ran articles warning that Canadian companies who leave India out of their Export planning, do so at their own peril.

The demand in India for Aviation, Military and Energy Exploration technology is strong. Working with my Indian business partner, an accomplished CEO and Entrepreneur, we match North American technology offerings with the requirements of the Indian market. Crucially, my Indian partner provides that all-important local knowledge as well as connections of influence within key Indian Government ministries.

Success in this business is truly about Know, Like and Trust. And doing business in India is all about having Connections in the right places.

 A Direct path into these Ministries is our key differentiator and the essence of the Value we offer to corporations with Technology and Products needed by India.

JZAM provides a Consultative Sales approach - a selling methodology and mindset where JZAM Inc and its partners act as trusted advisors. We assist the Buyer in identifying needs and offering solutions within their relationship. And we bring high-value new business opportunities to Technology providers.  

I reach out to Canadian and US companies that are interested in generating new revenue streams by licensing their products and technology to India as well as other target countries where a need has been identified.

Another real world example of Technology Transfer is in the field of Military Transportation Logistics.

An engineer by profession and an acknowledged authority on Transportation Logistics, Mr. Richter brings 40 years combined experience working on transportation and bridge systems in the deserts of North Africa, the Middle East and in North America.

Enabling logistics transformation to achieve supply security, cost effectiveness and timely delivery, no matter how hard the environment, is ERE’s core business.

In partnership with ERE Logistics, JZAM Inc is actively marketing the most advanced and cost-effective,mobile, extendable bridge technology world-wide – the S90T system developed and built by ERE, based in Alberta, Canada. Negotiations are ongoing currently between ERE and various military establishments: Canadian Armed Forces, US Army Logistics, Israel Defence Forces (IDF), and the Indian Army. Discussions are soon to be opened up with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) and we are submitting a profile describing the capabilities of the S90T system to the NATO Logistics Defence Planning and Policy Division in Brussels.     

The following video produced by ERE Logistics graphically demonstrates the capabilities of the S80T system. Subsequently, the S90T has been produced with a number of upgrades and improvements:

NEVER Forget Your Sense of Humor....!

One thing my Dad taught us as kids living in South Africa:  through thick and thin, in good times and bad – always remember your Sense of Humor!

That advice continues to serve me well, and the trait has carried through to our 2 teenagers who, when not eating or on their Macbooks or iPods, are always keen for a prank or a good chuckle.

So, out of deference to my Dad who at age 83 years died from stroke complications in August last year, I trust you will still find the time in your day to enjoy the following...

Thanks for everything Dad, rest in peace.

The most important lessons of all are what we teach our children!

Jz-fall-2008

Inculcating Business Ownership and Entrepreneurship in our Children...

I make a point every day of saying something to our 13 and 14 year old son and daughter to encourage them to think in terms of Business Ownership and Entrepreneurialism instead of ‘salaries’ and ‘jobs’.

Sadly, many parents motivate their kids with the conventional wisdom: 'work hard, get good grades, be top of your class, get a good job'.

That is absolutely the WRONG message to give our children!

Robert Kiyosaki, the respected co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Conspiracy of the Rich, will back me up 100%.

The RIGHT message is: 'have fun, you don't need to have the best grades, money is a good thing, dream big about what you can create for yourself to avoid having to work for others your whole life'.

And that thinking starts early by explaining the Value of Money, the principle of ‘Pay Yourself First’, the Wisdom of Saving & Investing, and the inescapable fact that money determines your standard of living.

Ask yourself tonight when you go to bed, 'What message am I giving my children about their future Economic Prosperity?'

The Best Motivation Video - Embracing Failure lays the foundation for Future Prosperity!

As per Forbes magazine: 79 million employees are working on a 1-3 year window to achieve self-employment. In the US alone. Every entrepreneur, current or aspiring, can instantly relate...this message is short, patently factual, and it contains the best of the best credibility reference points...

10 Things Top Earners do Every day in their Business...

These points may sound all-too-familiar to you, but how many are you actually DOING each day?

Take the time to visit the checklist every day. It’s good for your own personal development and they make business sense!

1. Written Goals – read them out aloud at least 3 times a day. Remind yourself daily & Believe that you Can and Will achieve them!

2. Focus on DAILY income producing activities. What income producing activity have you done today?

3. Attend all business events and be on the daily calls - stay plugged in to the community.

4. NEVER affirm a lack or a scarcity - be particularly aware of what you say and the words you use in all correspondence.

5. Give testimonials whenever appropriate!

6. Practice and hone your Personal Development and Leadership skills every day, at any opportunity

7. Operate with Certainty – EXPECT TO SUCCEED!

8. Express GRATITUDE for people and things in your life - daily.

9. Give back – charity support, open doors, be thoughtful of others, give of yourself not necessarily always financially but in other ways also.

10. Finally - all successful people accept and practice daily the fact that Success demands Persistence and Taking Action!

‘Successful people do their homework, make decisions quickly and very seldom change those decisions. Unsuccessful people take a long time to make decisions, they procrastinate and they change those decisions continually...’
