HUAF Promotes Technology Transfer from Scientific Research to Real-World Applications

During the meeting, the participants discussed the potential adoption, application, and commercialization of research outcomes from the city-level science and technology project “Application of Science and Technology to Develop a Production and Consumption Linkage Model for High-Value Products from Roselle in Phong Dien, Thua Thien Hue (now Hue City).” The project was led by HUAF, which is also the owner of the resulting research outcomes.

Representing HUAF, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Toan, Coordinator of the project, presented the research findings, finalized technical processes, and potential pathways for technology transfer and practical application. Based on the agreement reached among the parties, HUAF will transfer six technical processes to Hichagol, including:

• Roselle seedling production;
• Roselle cultivation and care techniques;
• Production of soft-dried roselle jam;
• Roselle tea bags;
• Vacuum-concentrated roselle syrup; and
• Roselle-based beverages.

The working session highlighted the effectiveness of the “three-party partnership” model—government, scientists, and businesses—in translating scientific research outcomes into practical applications. The collaboration is expected to promote innovation, enhance the competitiveness of businesses, and contribute to the socio-economic development of Hue City.
