This manual is meant as a practical guide for practicing technology transfer professionals in academic and research institutions. The manual focuses on practical insights for practitioners from other practitioners. This manual has been developed by Venture Center’s Regional Tech Transfer Office, TechEx.in (supported by BIRAC/NBM).
