  32. one professor or one researcher (even a student), on the basis of his/her experience of scientific research activities and/or of study, makes his/her mind to exploit one or more scientific results, which, suitably transformed, could become interesting applicable techniques, which could curry on some economical advantages: developing new competitive products/services, by creating a new company. Let me recall the academic spin-off (spin-off from research) Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

Incubator of new Business Ideas Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  36. The structures inside the University in order to make reasonable that some new business ideas will be born and grow - 1/3. • SUITABLE SPACES: – very close to the rooms and/or laboratories, where the inventors could work for their activities of study and of scientific research; – useful to the potential inventors (students, PhD students, researchers, professors) to verify in their own department the technical feasibility of their entrepreneurial ideas; – useful to the potential inventors to receive an offer of organizational, economical, managerial knowledge, which cannot be offered by the Department, since it is the site of only the technical knowledge, in order to verify also the economical feasibility of their entrepreneurial ideas. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  37. The structures inside the University in order to make reasonable that some new business ideas will be born and grow - 2/3. • INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE: – which establishes and controls the relationships between the inventors and their University; – which should be able to obtain a suitable patent, whose property should be split between the inventors and the University; – which is supposed: - to promote inside the University the suitable policy for the development of the requests of PATENTS; - to assist the inventors and/or the University to present the request of the patent to the Patent Office, either national or european; - to be able to manage the portfolio of the patents owned by the University. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  38. The structures inside the University in order to make reasonable that some new business ideas will be born and grow - 2/3. • ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT CENTER, which should be supposed to promote and to organize: – educational activities (i.e. how to construct a BP); – visits, meetings with entrepreneurs, seminars on different subjects related to the entrepreneurship development, etc.; – scouting for students who have the vocations to become entrepreneurs, but they did not know; – local contests for the best entrepreneurial ideas, with interesting prizes to the best ideas; – management of local professors, to be tutors for the future entrepreneurs, and recognitions for the most active; – etc. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  39. The accademic Target for the Incubator of Entrepreneurial Ideas • Let us suppose that a suitable environment has been settled inside our University, we believe that it is reasonable to state that: • only about 10% of the total number of students (plus researchers, PhD students, professors, etc.) is interested every accademic year to be involved in some entrepreneurial activities; • after all the initiatives in the incubator, only 2% of the total number is willing to create a new company; • but, perhaps, only 1% EVERY YEAR is going to create the new company. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  40. The case of the 7 Universities in Campania • In CAMPANIA, as I said, we have: – to day about 230.000 as regular students, and this number is more or less stable in the last 10 years; – only about 50.000 students are getting their degrees in all of the different Faculties of the Universities; – let me suppose that about 50% of them got their degrees in technical and scientific Faculties; – we should get 250 new companies/year, according to the percentage already discussed (1% = after selection in the incubator of entrepreneurship development). The reality says that to-day we can get only few Companies / year. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  41. The case of the“Entrepreneurship Development Center for the Inner Campania region”of the University of Sannio[established on February 11 2004] Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  42. The Mission of the Center • to promote and to manage INNOVATION projects aimed to sustain the economical and social DEVELOPMENT of the inner Campania region, – either collaborating with local companies and local public administrations, – or creating the suitable conditions to sustain the birth of new companies, knowledge-based; • by using the scientific and technical competences of the University of Sannio, and also the competences from other local institutions; • to contribute de facto to the ”Economical and SocialExploitation of the Scientific Research”. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  43. Let us agree about the meaning ofDEVELOPMENT • Here DEVELOPMENT is related to the local territory, where companies of different industrial sectors and local public administrations are located, close to Universities and Public Research Centers on one hand, and Financial Institutions on the other hand, etc.; • The Development of a Territory, as one region, could be measured, among other indicators, by: • gross regional product (GRP), • unemployment regional rate (URR). Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  44. Innovation • innovationmeans a suitable set of actions, choices, behaviours, changes, etc., finalized to reach a precise aim, which is perceived as positive (i.e., for a company to become more competitive); • any organization in order to realize innovation needs to have enough resources: – technologies, – financial resourse, and it must know how to use them in order to realize its positivi aims. THEREFORE INNOVATION IS NOT SYNONIMOUS OF PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE, i.e. OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH !! Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  45. Definition of Technology • TECHNOLOGYis a suitable set of technical, organizational, managerial, economical, commercial, etc. knowledge, whose use allows its owner, together with the necessary financial resources, to realize specific innovations and therefore to reach expected positive results; • therefore theTECHNOLOGYis an important economical goods, whileINNOVATIONis not, because it is always a behavior of a given organization. Notice: any technical knowledge comes out from suitable transformations of scientific results. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  46. The maturity of any TECHNOLOGY • let me define: • EMERGENT TECHNIQUE (T em), is the technique which derives from a suitable transformation of scientific results just obtained some where; • MATURE TECHNIQUE (T ma), is the technique which derives from a suitable transformation, happened in the past, even several years ago, of scientific results obtained in the parst; • INTERMEDIARY TECHNIQUE (T in), is the technique which is between the first two from the point of view of the time. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  47. The components of the Technology • TECHNOLOGY= an omogeneous set of technical, organizationl, economical, managerial, etc. Knowledge, whose use, together with a suitable ammount of financial resources, allows the onwer to reach expected positivi results; • THE TECHNICAL COMPONENT= of any technology comes out from a suitable transformation of scientific results into “APPLICABLE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE”; • the other components are called:COMPLEMENTARY KNOWLEDGE.

  49. Incubator of entrepreneurial ideas • it operates to realize a favorable environment to the development of the Entrepreneurial Culture inside the University of Sannio, • by means of: • activation of some specific courses in the 4 Faculties of the University on themes connected to the Entrepreneurship Development (BP); • selection of the participants to the Entrepreneurship Program; • possibility to use labs and other technical structure by the selected participants; • creation of suitable terminal in internet located in each Department of the University in order to exchange information, to be involved in suitable training course, to participate to open discussions (Forum), to participate to any events in the net, etc. (we are realizing the portal of the Centre); • organization of meetings, events, etc., in order to promote and to sustain the emulation and the competitivity; • organization of annual contests among the entrepreneurial ideas with suitable financial prizes for the best ideas; • participation to National Contests with the best entrepreneurial ideas. Hameelinna (Finland), November 1 2004

  50. Actual Strategic lines • to manage technology transfer projects: – ASIA Link Program (EU), with Luton University (UK), Indian Institute of Management of Bangalore (India), Tribhuvan University of Kathmandu (Nepal); – training activities and stages for 20 young workers from the “S.
