Tech transfer

Bringing a new product or drug onto the market, outsourcing your production or relocating it: it all takes a lot of effort and time and any delay might result in loss of income. An efficient transfer of technologies between all parties involved can speed up these processes. QbD has developed a Lean Technology Transfer Framework that supports your tech transfer process more efficiently and rapidly.

Tech Transfer in various contexts

QbD helps you to transfer technologies successfully in many different circumstances.

  • Mergers and Acquisitions
    During a merger between companies or the acquisition of one company by another, the transfer of information from one company to another is required.
  • Outsourcing
    An outsourcing process always involves a transfer of technological expertise, processes, assets, and sometimes even employees.
  • Spin-offs
    It’s important for spin-offs to focus not only on research and development, but also on other aspects such as technology transfer.

Our technology transfer framework as lingua franca

Very few companies have policies or a standardized approach in place to ensure the adequate transfer of technologies between departments, companies or locations. Our QbD Lean Technology Transfer Framework consists of a scenario, risk-based approach combined with templates. It serves as a lingua franca and ensures thorough understanding between both the sending and receiving units during your tech transfer.
