In today’s global work environment, process development teams are often not physically located together. It is common for team members from the R&D laboratories, pilot facilities, and commercialization sites to all be geographically separated. Additionally, home offices have expanded beyond regional sales and become commonplace for a variety of roles. Location differences and the subsequent increase in virtual meetings present a new set of challenges, particularly for technology transfer. Effective technology transfer from laboratory to production scale is critical to ensure success and profitability. In this session, the speakers will share their experiences in our global environment and present best practices to improve technology transfer when working among different physical locations.
