  1. Strategies for the continuation and dissemination of the UNCHAIN model Some reflections from UNIDO

  2. Strategies …. • UNIDO strongly believes in the UNCHAIN model • UNIDO supports a continuation of UNCHAIN • Directly and indirectly • Directly = we would like to see TEMPUS II • Indirectly = we will use the UNCHAIN model in projects in India, Iran, China and so forth (see below) • For example, the twinning program and other aspects of UNCHAIN

  3. Strategies …. • But there must be conditions for active participation, not only passive “project mgmt” • And there must be a wish to expand to other developing countries • UNIDO is willing to host UNCHAIN (as requested in Vienna July 2011  Emanuela)

  4. Strategies …. • In terms of financial sustainability, UNIDO has been and is seeking alternative funding possibilities for a second round of UNCHAIN • If it is not possible to work as a network, UNIDO will continue to work with UNCHAIN members on a “bilateral/trilateral/etc” basis • Examples: nanotechnology + Delft; energy security + Graz/Cairo

  5. Strategies …. • The bigger picture is that UNIDO is developing a model/framework for innovation and technology in developing countries • This will stretch across many area, e.g., agro-industry, trade, investment, energy and environment • Low- to high-tech & North-South and South-South • Different stages of development calls for different models

  6. Strategies …. • Modes of technology transfer central to this work, e.g., FDI, trade, consultants, twinning, training, etc • Hence, the UNCHAIN model is an important component in this work  an aspect of sustenance!?

  7. Some discussion points …. • Would UNCHAIN members be willing to participate in UNIDO’s work to develop a framework for technology transfer and, more broadly, innovation even if not under TEMPUS? • If yes, what form should such collaboration take? Please discuss different models! • How well would the UNCHAIN model work in LDCs, in different cultures, etc? • Can/Should UNIDO adopt and adapt the UNCHAIN model for different country contexts and how much of the model is readily transferrable to other contexts?

  8. Thank you for your attention!
