PraxisUnico, a UK-based technology transfer training organization, has delivered a three-day course for Colombian innovation managers in Cambridge, UK.

Last month’s training course by Alison Campbell and Robert Marshall was funded by the UK’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office’s (FCO) Prosperity Fund and INNpulsa, and was run in partnership with Cambridge Enterprise, an affiliate of the eponymous university.

The Colombian government has committed to spending £500m ($750m) per year on science and innovation from 2010 to 2014.

The event follows PraxisUnico training in India and Brazil. David Secher represented PraxisUnico and the University of Cambridge at a two day international Technology Transfer & Licensing Agreements workshop, organised by Steinbeis Centre for Technology Transfer, India. 

Separately, Patricia Latter from the Royal Veterinary College and PraxisUnico joined a group of seven UK academics for a workshop in Belem, northern Brazil, on biodiversity, innovation and sustainability.
