“…Results obtained also contribute to a recent and forward-looking trend in the perception of technology transfer as a factor for sustainable development [61,62], which is especially important for developing countries [63]. Since science and technology have taken a prominent place in the United Nations framework of sustainable development goals [64] there is a search for a new, inclusive role for technology transfer in creating environmentaland societal-based innovations [65,66].…”

The goal of the paper is to compare technology transfer centers in Poland and Malaysia. Therefore, the authors decided to use the comparative analysis method. The findings show that technology transfer and commercialization efforts both in Poland and Malaysia are on the right track. This demonstrates the universities’ persistent dedication to turning research and innovative ideas into concrete products, as seen by the university’s sustained growth in total product commercialization. It emphasizes the critical role that they play in promoting technological transfers, particularly for SMEs. The paper contributes to the macroeconomics theory in the area of public policy. Furthermore, it also provides insights into the theory of incentives, particularly in the field of non-financial support. The findings could be of interest to policymakers on macro and micro levels.

“…Directions regarding individuals are related to anthropotechnology issues and geographic, demographic, epidemiological, sociological, economic, linguistic, anthropological, and historical issues. All this makes it possible to improve technology transfer (Wisner, 2004) because if these aspects are not understood, it can compromise the effective use of technology (Corsi;Pagani, 2021) by the contemplated society.…”

The concern over water is due to the increase in population, which has led to an increase in water consumption. Given the context of water scarcity, it is necessary to direct efforts towards preventing this occurrence. One way to meet demand is through technology for water reuse. In this sense, the research proposal was to conduct a systematic and integrative review of the literature on technology transfer related to water, with a focus on water reuse. A total of 33 articles on the subject were selected. The main findings were that research is focused on promoting water reuse and addressing concerns about water consumption. The research highlights the importance of public policies related to water consumption and reuse, as well as the need to understand the population's awareness and acceptance of such aspects. One alternative to meet the water scarcity crisis is through desalination, but progress is needed to overcome the barrier of high energy consumption and waste generation. Regarding technology transfer, sharing knowledge on a global level is necessary for effective technology transfer and satisfactory results.

The Resource Nexus is an approach to sustainably manage environmental resources by considering the interlinkages, trade-offs and synergies between them. While a lot is known about this Resource Nexus framework and the impact this has on sustainable development and politics, far less is known about the technological, economic, and political situation required for the implementation of this approach. This paper considers the role of international business cooperation between German and Sub-Saharan African firms in facilitating this implementation. It explores the major barriers faced by German businesses looking to work in Sub-Saharan Africa and analyses the work of the German Außenhandelskammern (German Chambers of Commerce Abroad) as a replacement for the networks that are commonly seen as vital to business internationalisation. The findings have far-reaching implications for German and Sub-Saharan African politics, for business practices, and for the work of intermediary organisations looking to facilitate the internationalisation, as well as for those actors looking to implement a Resource Nexus approach across the world.
