DEFENSE INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS AND PUBLIC POLICY

The role of defense in national innovation systems is highly topical, because of the complexity of defense systems and the desire to get value-for-money from R&D investment, especially through the commercialization of defense-funded technology. In practice, external transfer has proved to be a difficult, labor-intensive process, which requires a strong commitment from both parties.

We finally propose strategies leading to a market for defense-born technology.Defense technology, Dual use, Technology transfer, Intellectual property rights, Collaboration, Transaction costs,
