&ldquo;Successful commercialization depends on connecting promising technologies with the right ecosystem of expertise, capital, infrastructure and market pathways. Exposure to these connections is particularly valuable for professionals working to strengthen technology transfer systems in developing countries.&rdquo;</strong></blockquote><p>Course coordinators <strong>Dr Suryamani Tripathi</strong>, Global Head - Legal Services, and <strong>Dr Padmaja Ravula</strong>, Principal Scientist - Sociologist, Gender and Nutrition Research, further emphasized the program&rsquo;s focus on translating knowledge into action. With guidance from ISSCA, participants are now developing technology transfer action plans for scalable agricultural solutions from the ISSCA repository, tailored to their countries&rsquo; needs and opportunities.</p><blockquote><strong>Ms Phoebe Murunga</strong>, Meteorologist, Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Kenya, said, <em>&ldquo;The course helped me see technology transfer as a complete pathway, from identifying an innovation to protecting, valuing and taking it to scale.&rdquo;</em></blockquote><blockquote>The international cohort also created opportunities for participants to learn from one another and explore areas for collaboration. <strong>Mr Suprio Ghosh</strong>, Senior Scientific Officer, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Bangladesh, said, <em>&ldquo;Learning alongside professionals from 20 countries showed me how much we can gain by sharing solutions, experiences and approaches across the Global South.&rdquo;</em></blockquote><h4
