They are also critic al to enable developing countries make progress towards the sustainable de velopment goals and address multiple challenges ranging from health crisis \, to food security or climate change.\n\nWhile technological development increasingly takes place within globalized knowledge networks\, those netw orks largely leave out developing countries\, making technological learnin g strongly dependent on countries’ ability to access\, adopt and adapt t echnologies that have been developed elsewhere.\n\nThe implications for tr ade and development of the technology gap between developed and developing countries and the question of how to enable international transfer of tec hnology have always been at the core of the work of UNCTAD. Fast technolog ical development opens opportunities to address both long-standing and new challenges confronting developing countries. At the same time\, the rapid pace of change also presents a threat of widening international technolog ical gaps and making technology transfer and adoption a more complex and c ostly process. This makes the development of flexible\, pragmatic approach es to technology transfer more urgent than ever.\n\nAt this event\, which is co-organized by the UNCTAD secretariat and the Permanent Mission of Per u to the international organizations in Geneva\, experts from the secretar iat will critically examine core concepts commonly used in the internation al debate around transfer of technology\, based on the analysis of current trends in technological development and their consequences for sustainabl e and inclusive development. The presentations will also draw on the evide nce gathered through UNCTAD’s technical cooperation programmes in the fi eld of technology and innovation policy.\n\n \n\nPROGRAMME\n\n10:30   W elcome Remarks\n\n\nMs. Shamika Sirimanne\, Director\, Division on Technol ogy and Logistics\, UNCTAD\nH.E.
