The importance of technology transfer and collaboration between the chemical industry, academia and technology developers cannot be overstated. Chemicals is one of the most research-intensive industries operating in a highly dynamic environment. Therefore, having a sharp technology edge over its competitors can afford it significant market leadership.
The industry in the region has been focused on research and innovation (R&I) for decades and close collaboration with research and technology partners has been a key component of its R&I strategy. Chemical companies have built long lasting strategic partnerships which has enabled them to develop or acquire some of the world’s leading technologies.
