About the Program
Support to technology transfer and commercialization enables the market-oriented technologies developed by various research for development institutions to be strategically positioned and transferred to areas, enabling partners and farming/fishing communities that need them the most. This will serve as a vital tool in the improvement of A&F-related industries from resource-based to technology-based industries through enterprise development related and support initiatives.
Objective
Accelerate the transfer and commercialization of mature and demand driven technologies for increased productivity and profitability of the farming and fishing communities and their enterprises.
