​Three staff members of Innovus's Technology Transfer Office received international recognition as professional technology transfer professionals from the Alliance for Technology Transfer Professionals. Joubert de Wet, Nolene Singh and Doris Peters are amongst a small group of just more than 564 technology transfer professionals who now have RTTP-status (Registered Technology Transfer Professional). Innovus now has twice as many RTTP professionals as the tech transfer office in second place on this metric in South Africa and that indicates the proven strength of our team.

RTTP is the internationally recognised framework that sets the standard for Technology Transfer (TT) practitioners. This status is the professionalisation of technology transfer as a career, and it offers TT practitioners recognition for reaching a peer-evaluated professional level in their career. RTTP also implies a commitment to an individual's professional development and personal excellence and gives recognition to achieving world-class standards in job execution in this field.

“RTTP reflects competence," says Anita Nel, Chief Director of Innovus. “This international designation shows employers, colleagues and partners that you have demonstrated the core competencies necessary to work effectively in the field of technology transfer and have sufficient experience to add significant value based on a recognised track record."
