TTEN is targeted at assisting technologists in member countries to show their capabilities to the ones in need of technology. As it was stated, an online web portal has been designed to show offers and requests and collect a comprehensive database. Besides, BizTech events (Business-Technology Meetings) have been also designed in which fulfillment of technology needs in the host country has been aimed.
Training Workshops
One of the developing tools for technology owners and companies’ directors is to know how to step in the technology world as a receiver or provider, behave as a professional and manage the opportunities and risks. This is not achievable unless once well is trained and clarified and subsequently experienced during the life of the company.
