Assess technology values
Overview
- Technology is thought to be the most important asset of a business concern which determines the future
of the company. However, until recently, it has hardly been accepted as collateral in financial
institutions, as it is hard to quantify the monetary value of such intangible assets and is not easily traded
like commodities. Moreover, there were no reliable and specialized institutions in charge of appraising
technology especially for the field of land, infrastructure and transport technology.
Technology Valuation
- The monetary value of subject technology is valued through this type of appraisal. KAIA's experts
determine the market value of the technology mainly through the calculation of the monetary value of
present and future income generated by technology. It is a sophisticated technique that requires
expertise and knowledge of the current level of technology and foresight with regard to future
directions.KAIA has an appraisal model and experts group which is specialized for the field of land,
infrastructure and transport technology.
Appraisal Purpose
- Technology valuation is employed for the purposes of transferring, buying or selling technology. When
domestic or overseas businesses or individuals want to transfer or introduce technology, when a
technology is being transacted, or when technology business units are being merged or acquired, this
method is employed to ensure a secure and fair transaction or transfer. It is also used to assess the
collateral value of technologies.Another main purpose of this type of appraisal is for technology
financing. When financial institutions or venture capitals want to loan or invest in a company, this
method is employed to give a data for screening credit loans and investments.
