Upcoming Events at the Chicago Chapter: Best Practices in Technology Commercialization: Delivery and ServicesPresented by: Suleyman M. Ozmen, Director, Solutions and Services, UOP LLC Tuesday, June 14, 2005, 11:45 a.m. at Maggiano's Little Italy, Chicago This presentation will focus on the importance of delivering and servicing licensed technology in the refining and petrochemical industries. A licensing transaction is successful when the life cycle is managed with success. The presenter will discuss the different stages of technology delivery and focus on services to continuously improve the profitability of the licensed technology. Licensees must focus on optimal use of existing assets and resources (incl. external) while continuously evaluating options in adding new technology and state-of -the-art hardware.
