Out of 141 research projects in Kazakhstan, only 38 of them ensured stable product sales over the past three years. The remaining 103 projects worth $22 billion did not achieve the expected results to produce and sell products. This was announced at the Kurultai meeting by the Chairman of the Supreme Audit House Alikhan Smailov. According to the review, trade remains a weak link in the scientific field. In particular, 60 patents of the sample were not registered agreements on their use. Smailov noted that the effectiveness of science should be assessed not only by publications and patents, but also by the actual implementation of developments and their market effect. News @kazinform.
