Organizing Open Chemical Innovation on a European level ECRN 16 -4-2009 Dries Lodewijks
Content • CHEMaterials • De CHEMaterials business • today and tomorrow • Open Chemical Innovation • Organized on Chemelot • Examples • Building Open Chemical Innovation in Europe • Three building blocks • Lessons learned
HTS Eindhoven Agro-food Venlo Chem-materials Chemelot Maastricht Heerlen/ Aachen Renewable Energy Life Sciences 1. Province of Limburg: a CHEMaterials region • Chemmatarials are an enabler for innovation: • Chemelot – Eindhoven (performance materials) • Chemelot-Venlo (materials, specialty packaging) • Chemelot-Heerlen/Aken (materials and renewable energy) • Chemelot- Maastricht (bio medical materials)
2. CHEMaterials: today “Need for speed” Do we need a new business model?
2. CHEMaterials: tomorrow Focus on Open Chemical Innovation Key words are value chains and networks
Joint Business Developments Licensing In Spin in Venturing Acquisitions Divestments Spin out Licensing Out R&D services 3. Open innovation: the stage gate process Market Scouting/Intelligence Competence management Idea Business Development Scale up and Transfer to Generation Feasibility Validation Running Business
3. Open Chemical Innovation on a regional level Realize “proximity” 2) Laboratoria 1) Programme High chem start-up Organize interaction between companies Bring in kowledge SME Hogeschool Zuyd 3) Services Enable high chem startups to focus
Open innovation = collaboration between people Open innovation = people working together

Neocork, why Chemelot? • Proximity of key raw material suppliers • Co-development with key raw material suppliers (product innovation) • Potential synergy on innovative laser marking technology (Micabs) • Faster start up production due to infrastructure • Faster start up of operations due to Chemelot’s virtual service boulevard: venture capital, financing, tax, subsidy, logistics, insurances, environmental permit, building permit, hiring personnel, promotion
Kriya Materials, why Chemelot? • Proximity of (potential) customers • Application know how DSM and Sabic (co-development) • Environmental permit • Image to customers • High end service providers • Patent support • Analytical support (Resolve) • Flexible housing • Outsourcing possibilities of non core activities • Lease of equipment on daily base: R&D and pilot line (cyanide) Sharing know how Analytical knowledge
Isobionics, Why Chemelot? • Initiated by Chemelot and DSM • License from DSM access to key technology (Kaisersaugst, Delft, Geleen) • Access to market via DSM’s global network • Contracting of key DSM R&D resources • Open innovation model at Chemelot Campus • Active regional venture capitalist participation: Limburg Ventures + LIOF
4.Building an Open Chemical Innovation structure in Europe Three building blocks Organize Open Innovation on a local scale 2 1 Share best practices & organize network in ECRN-regions Chemelot’ s practice Chemclust Organize Open Innovation by crossborder demoprojects 3 New Materials Network Initiative
5. Lessons learned In your region • Chemical-materials business-sector is an enabler for Open Chemical Innovation. • Internalize Open Chemical Innovation (all parties) • Organize Open Chemical Innovation on a regional level by starting on site (organize interaction events and proximity). • OEM’s innovation programme should be leading. • Select SME and demand driven innovation topics fitting to this programme. In Europe • Strengthen an Open Chemical Innovation network in Europe & share best practices. • Select cross border and demand driven innovation topics: waste materials, performance materials, renewables. • Facilitate crossborder Open Chemical innovation/cooperation projects by focusing tools and subsidizing the projects. • Disseminate results
Background Info: Chemical industry (now) • Continuous pressure on costs • Increasing competition (on an global, European,national and regional level) • Product & process innovation will become more and more expensive; need for VC • SME’s face an innovation gap • Society demands an increasing role of the chem industry in the climate debate (cleaner production, providing sollutions) “Need for speed” New business model is required
Background info Chemical industry How should it response ? • Position the chem industry as a provider of sustainable sollutions and as a contributer of climate friendly productiontechnologies • Intensivy cooperation within the industry (large companies and SME’s) • Build value chains between chemical producing and chemical using industry • Create networks (regional, national euregional) between goverments, research institutes and chemical industry and facilitate knowledge transfer. • Close the innovation gap by organizing demand driven innovation • Invest in social innovation and share best practices Focus on Open Chemical Innovation (A) Create a platform: “a New Materials Network Initiative” (B)
What is Chemelot? • One of the largest chematerial communities in Europe (> 800 ha) • Industrial Park + Research & Business Campus • Number of companies on site > 70; 33 new companies since 2005 • Many of them global leaders in their product market combination • Concept of open chemical innovation is applied Industrial ParkSharing infrastructure and costs Research & Business Campussharing knowledge and global networks
3. Building a CHEMaterials Campus • Facilitate the CHEMaterial companies on site • Connect knowledge with CHEMaterials-companies • Build a CHEMaterials cluster
