Technology innovation has long been a national priority for both the Science & Technology and the Higher Education sectors for sustainable development of China.

Supported by policies and incubation programs with abundant seed funds, young graduates in China are enticed to have a foretaste of techno-preneurship, not only for developing a different career, but also for accelerating academic-based knowledge transfer.

In this context, ISTA organized in Southeast University a half-day forum on "Innovation & Entrepreneurship for Technology Transfer" in conjunction with its 2012 Executive Committee meeting.
