Good practices on technology transfer regulations in emerging and developing countries: looking at the african and latin american context

This article aims to explore good practices in technology transfer regulations in emerging and developing countries. Developing nations are undergoing a period of transition marked by geopolitical and economic instability. Rethinking technology transfer regulations is a key element in boosting the economy of the developing world. These countries not only need to attract the largest amount of foreign investment but must also focus on securing high-quality investments, especially in comparison to competitor countries. In this article, we will explore different approaches to technology transfer legislation with the objective of helping lawyers and policymakers understand recent advances in international trade and technology transfer law. Countries and legal professionals should integrate policy analysis and comparative analysis with neighboring countries to assess whether domestic legisation aligns effectively with national development programs. Technology transfer regulations in Egypt, Ghana, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Colombia, and Namibia will be examined.
