On behalf of the Organizing Committee for 2019 Global Commercialization Workshop, I am pleased to organize this event and be honored to invite you.

Increasing emphasis on global technology commercialization builds up considerably as we move further into the 21^st century. Technology transfer and commercialization is one of the keys to establish economic development with industry and to accelerate the national competitiveness. To commercialize technology internationally, it is required to have strategic ways of access to profound intellectual resources. Therefore, global cooperative network will play a vital role to drive better achievement. With regard to creating international joint efforts, it is crucial to take part in each stage from a nation’s governmental level to levels of research institutes, industrial and academic communities.

The workshop will be held under the theme of “Global Commercialization Workshop for Innovative Development" on Oct 29^th to 31^st in KAIST DaejeoNo, Korea. Through this event, we are expecting to have the professional entities in the field ICT & e-Government, Smart Agriculture, Energy and Investment. In additioNo, there will be not only strategies of global cooperative network for technology commercialization but practical acknowledgement by international and domestic experts of technology transfer, co-research project, and ways of collaboration.
