【Asia+ Alliance for Academia - Industry Partnership and Innovation】
 

Universities across the world today similarly face diverse challenges regarding intellectual property management, licensing, technology transfer, and academia-industry collaboration, yet there has not been an integrated effort to address these issues at an international level to date. The A+A Asia + Alliance for Academia-Industry Partnership and Innovation aims to serve as a platform at which experience, resources, and opportunities can be shared, while maintaining the administrative independence of participating institutions. This inaugural conference will therefore seek to establish a framework for the following collaborations:
 

  • Pooling of licensable/transferable IP for international academia-industry collaboration
  • Organizing workshops, internships, and training for international talent cultivation
  • Leveraging third-party professional service providers to increase competitiveness

Asia is now home to almost 60% of the global population and has several advantages in terms of strong academic innovation, close-knit economic ties, close time zones, large and growing markets, and vibrant industry and commercial sectors. Therefore, it makes sense to establish an Asian alliance that can work closely together to address unique Asian needs and challenges and build upon these advantages to develop strong global competitiveness.
