About Us

Our mission is to assist in the development and maintenance of skills associated with knowledge transfer* from public sector organisations. We also aim to promote the activities of our members in government, industry and commercial forums.

KCA objectives are to:

• Provide professional development opportunities and information relevant to knowledge transfer.
• Be proactive in contributing to government and industry discussions on policies related to knowledge transfer from public sector organisations and encouraging awareness of these knowledge transfer activities.
• Provide a stimulating forum for members to share their ideas and experiences.
• Interact with government and industry with the aim of fostering better relationships and providing the opportunity to overcome commercialisation and collaborative barriers.

* Knowledge transfer is defined as the process for transferring knowledge and technology to the commercial sector. This may be achieved through commercialisation, such as spin-offs and licensing innovations, or consulting and education activities.
