Overview

Investment Promotion and Technology Transfer

Two Days Course 
Multiple 2024 dates (Face-to-face and Online)

Certificate of attendance from Queen Mary University of London

The course provides active participation in theoretical and policy debate about Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Technology Transfer (TT) by focusing on what matters to investors. Using the main themes arising from this question we will develop a set of guiding principles for the establishment of good practices that any Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) needs to adopt. These include planning stages through to self-evaluation and the inter-connections between the IPA and other key Government agencies and Departments. The course will also provide the fundamentals and better understanding of the concept and practice of TT with several examples from developing countries including the UK, USA, India & Africa.

The course is primarily practice based with significant number of theoretical concepts and it will be delivered by two leading international experts on Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfer.
