  1. Stimulating innovation and tech transfer You don’t need eyes to see You need vision Bart De Moor Chairman ‘IOF’ council ESAT-SCD KatholiekeUniversiteit Leuven A: KasteelparkArenberg 10, B-3001 Leuven Belgium T: +32(0)475 2 8 7052 W:www.esat.kuleuven.be E: bart.demoor@esat.kuleuven.be

  2. Content • Trends • Some numbers • Universities and tech transfer

  3. Trends… • New challenges in international context • Globalising world • Fast urbanisation • Aging population • Energy shortage • Sustainibility issues • Pandemia’s • ‘on-line all the time’ • Exponentially fast technological evolutions

  5. Exponential evolutions Moore Carlson

  6. BIOIBart De Moor, Yves Moreau, Kathleen Marchal Fast evolution in bio-technology ‘high throughput ‘data genome transcriptome proteome metabolome interactome

  7. Making Sense of the 1000$ Genome • Human genome project • Initial draft: June 2000 • Final draft: April 2003 • 13 year project • $300 million value with 2002 technology • Personal genome • June 1, 2007 • Genome of James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA double helix, is sequenced • $1.000.000 • Two months • €1000-genome • Expected 2012-2020

  8. POTS wireless Cellular WLAN Technological trends: transdisciplinary integration Ubiquitous computing Materials, energy, IT Ambient intelligence Embedded intelligence Smart pills Neuron on chip Rehabilitation engineering Monitoring Sensors: EEG, glucose,blood, DNA, … Add-ons: vision, hearing, implants, …

  10. Content • Trends • Some numbers • Universities and tech transfer

  11. 1% 2% Lisbon: R&D investments in % GRP Public investment in R&D in % GRP Companies investment in R&D in % GRP If in 2014: 1 % GRP to public R&D Then needed +230 mio euro/year from 2010 !

  12. Evolution public R&D in % GRP 1995-2008

  13. Human research potential # researchers / 1000 employees (2003) Higher education share / 100 adults (25-64) (2003) STEM masters / 1000 20-29 year (2003)

  14. Entrepreneurship Broadband penetration (# bb-lines / 100 citizen) (2003) ‘Early stage’ venture capital (% GNP) (2003) Patents per mio citizens (2000) High-tech share in export (2003)

  15. Entrepreneurship Total Entrepreneurial Activity (GEM) European paradox: Research excellent, Tech transfer insufficient !

  16. Michael Porter’s three phase model • Step III • Innovation driven economy • Entrepreneurial • Global • (Open) innovation • Step II • Efficiency driven economy • Higher education • Efficient production • Labor market flexibel • -Financial markets • operational • Health and basic education • Technology curiosity • International openess • Step I • Factor driven economy • Basic institutions • Physical infrastructure • Macroeconomic stability • Health and basic education Western Europe China / India ….

  17. What to do ? • Invest in ‘spear heads’ for innovation • ICT and health (e-health system for every citizen) • Translational biomedical research (integrate nano-bio-clinical-pharma) • Materials • Environment (smart grids) • Transport, Mobility, Logistics • Increase DIMersity in talent (Diversity, Internationalization, Mobility) • Increase investments in higher education • Increase interaction between universities and future employers • Increase inter-, cross- and multidisciplinarity • STEM SELLS !

  20. INDUSTRY EU Commission Flemish Government Size of organisation (small to large) University Colleges Association University K.U.Leuven Reachability (easy to difficult)

  21. Cluster organisations EU Representatives EWI Size of organisation (small to large) IWT DOC & LRD Researchers Reach-ability (easy to difficult)

  22. Fase 2 Forms of tech transfer Fase 1 Direct Contract Research FFF BA/VC KUL Research group spinoff NV Research Basic BOF Strategic IOF FP6/7 founders employees Valorisation Patents Licenses SME

  23. Activity Area 1: (Applied) Research for Companies Activity Area 2: Technology Transfer via Patents & Licensing cross-fertilisation network Activity Area 3: Generation of Spin-Off Companies Industrial liason office: KUL-LRD LRD Mission Statement De accurate, adequate en efficiënte begeleiding en ondersteuningvan dedecentrale werking van de onderzoeksgemeenschap aan de K.U.Leuven en haar Associatie bij de commerciële exploitatie en de financiële rendabilisering van huneigen vermogen opgebouwd door hunonderzoeksactiviteiten.

  24. Three modes of operation; ‘Business development’ Push mode: - Start from potential in research groups - Researcher = source, inspiration, inventor - Contracts, licenses, consortia, spin-offs - LRD = support, negociator, ‘consiglieri’ - Numerous cases Pull mode: - Reveal external opportunities to research groups - (Government initiated) consortia, incubators, science parks - LRD = takes initiatives, organization, coordination, architect - Examples: bio-incubator (VIB), science parks Arenberg, Tienen,… ELAt, IMI-platform,…. Create mode: - Create synergy via tech transfer (‘valorisation’) platforms - Tech transfer platforms, new research initiatives, acquiring/providing funding - Examples: CD3, NERF (KUL-VIB-IMEC), GemmaFrisius, MRC, IBBT departments

  25. development of business plan protection and exploitation of intellectual property finding investors negotiation & legal support finding infrastructure management of growth of the spin-off company stimulating networking & clustering

  26. Gemma-Frisius I & II: Seed Money • Creation: • October 1997, cfr. Flemish decree 1995 • Partnership: • K.U. Leuven R&D • KBC - Investco • Fortis - VIV • Complementarity: • Incubator K.U. Leuven R&D, detection + b-plan • Equity – financial expertise KBC – Fortis

  27. IOF Industrial Research Fund A bridge between university and industry Project types: - leverage platforms - knowledge building platforms People: - industrial research fellows - evaluated every 5 years IOF Parameters

  28. Tech transfer environment: ‘Yes, we can !’ • Research climate @ university • Major funding sources: IAP, GOA, CoE, Methusalem • IWT, IOF, EU, ERC,… • Research centers… • LRD • TTO • Spinoff tradition • GemmaFrisius • Entrepreneurial: University wide master course: ‘Initiatie tot ondernemen’ • Leuven High-Tech Valley • Local networks: L.inc, DSP Valley, L-SEC, … • Interregional: ELAT,… • Flanders • Science policy: Budget growing since 1995 • Strategic Research Institutes: IMEC (nano), VIB (biotech), IBBT (broadband), VITO • Competence poles: FMTC (Mechatronics), Flanders Drive, Flanders-Bio,… • role of IWT: spinoff kick-off projects (up to 65 % funding) • government seed-money/VC incentives • Belgium • - ‘defiscalisation’-measures for R&D in companies
