INTRODUCTION

Background

Technologyis opening up a universe of opportunities, unimaginable before.Entrepreneurship, like technology, has added another dimension to the humanlife. It is impossible to not notice that all forms of employment today havearisen from some or other form of entrepreneurial venture.

Businessauthorities believe that this century tends to lean heavily towards an economyprimarily driven by technology, where individuals have to recognize, envisionand predict technology opportunities so as to join the ranks of futureentrepreneurial leaders. Entrepreneurship and technology both are products ofthe human genius and equally marvelous is the compound that is formed bymerging the two together for benefit of the society. From entrepreneurship forprofitable purposes to social entrepreneurship, the world is now welcomingtechnopreneurship.

Commercializationis a highpoint in Technopreneurship - the seal of transforming technology-basedideas, products and industries into profitable entrepreneurial projects.Commercialization as it concerns technopreneurship involves identifyingproblems of customers, solving these problems and delivering it to thecustomers in a desirable format.
