Background:
Following the 19th Session of the APCTT Center Governing Council, a joint decision was made to include the Russian Federaion proposal in theReport of the Governing Council of the Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of Technology on its twentieth session to establish an International Digital Platform for Scientific, Technical, and Innovation Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region. This platform aims to serve as a unified environment facilitating effective interaction, and both bilateral and multilateral exchange of scientific, technological, and innovative developments, as well as international workforce training and technology transfer among APR countries.
A key feature of the platform will be its multifunctionality, allowing for the integration of existing tools and the development of new instruments to advance international scientific and technical cooperation. The platform will enable engagement with stakeholders in science, technology, and innovation; cooperation with scientific, technological, and innovation institutions; implementation and creation of new technologies; legal support and intellectual property protection; interactions with investment funds during technology transfer; expert support in technology transfer and utilization; educational program delivery in the field of scientific and technical cooperation; and the execution of international scientific and technical cooperation based on the platform.
