Summary

Despite mixed reviews on performance and outcomes, public-private partnerships (PPPs) continue to experience wide appeal. Most critical policy milestones in development in recent times, such as the WHO Global Strategy and Plan of Action on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property (GSPoA), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA), all recognize PPPs as important mechanisms to promote international collaboration on common objectives. This chapter focuses on international PPPs to analyse some critical issues arising from the continuing indeterminacy and variety in their institutional design in the context of technological sharing and capacity building. Building the analysis on a bibliometric review of the current state of existing empirical evidence on PPPs, IP, and technology transfer issues, the chapter outlines and discusses the main research policy questions raised by existing literature. The analysis points to an urgent need to understand the ways in which technology-related objectives and achievements of existing PPPs differ and what advantages and limitations they could pose in practice, particularly if we advance broader goals such as knowledge sharing, expertise development, and technological learning, all of which will be important for international PPPs in the future.
