Technology Readiness Level in Computer Sci
- 1. TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL COMMERCIALIZATION IN LAB TECHNOLOGIES TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER by Mr. Jagan Seshadri
- 2. HISTORY OF TRL TRLs were first developed by Stan Sadin with NASA in 1974 and have since been adopted, improved, and modified for use by many industries, government organizations, funders, and investors. The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of an invention is assessed at several points in the technology transfer process to evaluate the maturity of the current invention to better understand its commercial feasibility.
- 3. DEFINITION OF TRL & WHAT IS TRL DEFINITION Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a type of measurement system used to assess the maturity level of a particular technology. WHAT IS TRL? Each technology project is evaluated against the parameters for each technology level and is then assigned a TRL rating based on the projects progress.
- 5. TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL COMMITTEE(INDIA) The status of a technology including TRL is assessed by a committee chaired by a Head. The committee includes nominated members for the technical advisory committee (TAC), the Ethics committee and the invited subject experts. These members identify the gap and provide report of gap analysis for consideration of the project team to take the project closer to what is expected in technical transfer.
- 6. BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY RESEARCH ASSISTANT COUNCIL BIRAC has an inherent system of distributing the projects into different thematic areas for effective selection process, efficient project monitoring for technology maturation and for tracking investments against outputs in each sector. Broadly, the following thematic areas cover projects supported under BIRAC mandate: Drugs, Biosimilars(identity copy of a original product), Vaccines, Agriculture, Bio informatics software Keeping NASA TRLs as a reference, BIRAC has come up with detailed definitions of levels in the TRL scale for each of the thematic areas . These TRL definitions intend to guide the innovators, evaluators and investors in identifying the stage of technology under development more objectively. It also include some of the regulatory approvals and quality certifications which may be relevant for progression of TRLs and commercialization of the technology/products in India.

- 9. COMMERCIALIZATION Commercialization is the process of transforming a new product or service all the way from conceptualization to actual sale. In other words, a product is created and brought to the market for profit. The commercialization process follows several stages that start with research and end with a product’s marketing.
- 10. WHY COMMERCIALIZATION IS IMPORTANT? Commercialization plays a huge part in deciding the role of an idea, product, or service in society. It generates job opportunities, creates choices for consumers, and paves the way for more market needs. It affects a nation’s economy and sustains the qualities of life standards. It also demands the learning and propagation of new skill sets, knowledge, and innovations.
- 12. TECHNOLOGICAL COMMERCIALIZATION Technological commercialization refers to the transfer of technology from the lab to the market. For example, suppose a manufacturer has proposed a new project in IT. Extensive research and modifications take place even before the consideration of a business model.
- 13. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER Technology transfer is the movement of data, designs, inventions, materials, software, technical knowledge or trade secrets from one organisation to another or from one purpose to another. The technology transfer process is guided by the policies, procedures and values of each organisation involved in the process. What are the Three Phases of Technology Transfer? • Technology transfer activities can be broadly split into three phases; preparation, installation and utilisation. These three phases are, in turn, affected by technological, organisational and environmental factors.
- 14. WHY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IS IMPORTANT? Technology transfer is an important part of the technological innovation process, promoting scientific and technological research and the associated skills and procedures to wider society and the marketplace. Tech transfer allows research to develop from the discovery of novel technologies along the value chain to disclosure, evaluation and the protection of these breakthroughs. From here, marketing, licensing and further development of products allow the research to become an impactful product, process or service for society. As a result, technology transfer creates revenues for universities to use for faculty recruitment, funding and more research. Companies are able to tap into the advances brought about by this academic research without having to spend on internal R&D to create new products to drive business forward. The advantages of successful technology transfer can be felt through national and regional economies via growth through innovation, new ventures and stronger industry to boost employment.
