Technology valuation is an important part of the technology transfer process. It allows for defining the price, determining the type of payment, and designing the best conditions for transferring the technology to the beneficiary companies.
The main areas of use for this valuation are:
• Mergers and acquisitions of companies • Negotiations and technology transfer contracts • Support for technology in different conditions, granting collateral, etc. • Commercialization of technology • Economic decisions related to the preservation or maintenance of technology, commercialization and cost-benefit analysis, etc. So far, no standard and specific formula has been developed for the valuation of technical knowledge and technology; but there are various methods that, to some extent, take into account the variables affecting the value of technology and provide acceptable solutions.
In the valuation of technical knowledge, many factors such as environmental conditions, the existence of suitable markets, etc. are influential; but in most cases, the final price of technology is determined through negotiation and depends on the negotiation skills and bargaining power of the parties to the transaction.
