Technology transfer (TT) includes knowledge transfer and the application of science and risk-based principles including ICH Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, to support the business requirements from both Sending and Receiving units for drug substance, drug product and analytical procedures.

Technology transfer occurs in many circumstances involving for example active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), finished dosage forms and analytical methods. TTs may occur between development and manufacturing sites or to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).
