Program Background
Since the 1990s, global innovation processes have been changing continuously. Newly developed products and knowledge are successfully creating new markets and revenues. Moreover globalization and transnational research have increased. Countries with excellent R&D infrastructure join togehter with researchers from centres of excellence elsewhere. The leading technology intensive enterprises increasingly tend to follow this strategy.
Such synergy effect can also be established between Indonesia and Germany.
The initiative will be mutually beneficial to both Indonesia and Germany. Both countries have outstanding research environments which complement each other. Working together will promote joint development of internationally competitive products. The Technopreneur Award – to be awarded for the sixth time this year - will help to increase the entrepreneurial potential of Indonesian researchers.
For German scientists and researchers it is important to increase knowledge by exchanging ideas with their Indonesian partners.
For Indonesian researchers and their scientific institutions it is important to learn how to develop marketable products using the infrastructure and expertise of Fraunhofer in the field of technology transfer.
