AUTM

A discovery doesn't create impact simply because it exists. It creates impact when it reaches the people, industries, and communities that can use it.

So what determines whether a technology spreads quickly, stalls for decades, or never reaches its full potential?

In this episode of AUTM on the Air, we welcome back Julio D. Raffo and Intan M. Hamdan-Livramento from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to discuss the World Intellectual Property Report 2026: Technology on the Move.

Together, we explore:
🔸 Why technology diffusion is different from technology transfer and why that distinction matters
🔸 How patents accelerate both innovation and knowledge sharing
🔸 What drives successful adoption across industries and countries
🔸 Why deep-tech innovations require patience, partnerships, and long-term support
🔸 Practical lessons for technology transfer offices working to move research beyond the lab
