A technology clinic is an activity implemented by a technology support organisation which aims to bring together a series of priorities in the development of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs); technology problem solving, technology watch, and technology transfer. The aim is that the process of going through a clinic would equip an SMEs with the appropriate know-how and support from technology experts to allow it to successfully implement new technologies. The basic idea is to pre-select a technology issue which is strategically important for a firm, sector or for a region in general, and support SMEs in understanding the issue and implementing responses within their firms. In this way it represents a sophisticated supply side innovation support measure rather than a response to specific expressed problems for individual SMEs.
