<p>Hi Leon, thanks for your message. Yes the incentive issue is critical. Fortunately though, diverging interests in our workfield often originate from misunderstanding between those stakeholders (e.g. between business developers and scientists), so all it takes to significantly improve the situation is getting everyone on the rails and to listen to each other.

<p>Hi Leon, thanks for your message. Yes the incentive issue is critical. Fortunately though, diverging interests in our workfield often originate from misunderstanding between those stakeholders (e.g. between business developers and scientists), so all it takes to significantly improve the situation is getting everyone on the rails and to listen to each other. But indeed, opposing incentives are problematic, you are right. For instance, the organization I'm working for, it's core-most drive is securing research funds from donor organizations and creating scientific outcomes. The little realization that knowledge exploitation could actually positively contribute to the organization's goals, is forgotten in the fever of producing the scientific outcomes/public goods that are promised to donors.<br/> But sometimes one needs to show people a good example, for them to catch the drift. So I was hoping for some more response and some smart ideas via this discussion of how to tackle the dilemma.<br/>
Currently I'm working on an idea of starting a business incubation network as another means to create both scientific outcomes AND create value.</p> Hi Jasper,

<p>Hi Jasper,</p>

<p>just saw your post. I have been also thinking about this stuff for quite a long time as I have observed similar patterns in my daily work. I also have been thinking about a recommendation&trust-based peer-to-peer database sort of thing to catalyze tech-transfer.</p>
<p>Having worked in the tech transfer industry (in Germany), my experience was that the first & foremost issue in the process of transferring knowledge from the lab to anything that might be a "real-world-application" is the incentive issue. All the stakeholders in this business (at least in Germany, but probably in most European countries and possibly even overseas) have different and imo contraproductive incentives. If you ask me, we would have to find a way to set this straight first, before we start with the operative framework.</p>
