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.
