  1. WP2: Catalysing InnovationTask 2.2. Transferring Innovation to Society/Industry Focused promotional initiatives and entrepreneurship schemes to support the dissemination of EuCARD-2 innovation Enrico Chesta Head of CERN Technology Transfer and IP Management Section Knowledge Transfer Group, FP Department (FP/KT/IP)

  2. Summary • Promotion of selected technologies to industry through thematic science-business workshops and brokerage events – e.g. WAMAS – Nov. 2013 • Support of entrepreneurship initiatives and spin-off/start-up companies – e.g. CERN BIA concept, NTNU-CERN Screening Week, STFC-CERN BIC • Technology promotion and spin-off company support through participation to large industrial fairs – ex. CERN-ESA stand at Hannover Messe – April 2014

  3. WAMAS November 19-20, 2013 Very successful event, first in his kind: EIROforum TWG-IMKTT framework EEN brokerage event in parallel Industrial sponsors/exhibitors >160 participants, (1/3 CERN, 1/3 Industry, 1/3 Labs) >70 technology profiles (offers/requests) >300 B2B meetings requested >200 pages catalogue (also book of abstracts) “HiRadMat Facility” “Advanced composite materials for thermal management” https://cds.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2013/50/News%20Articles/1633172

  4. CERN Business Ideas Accelerator (BIA) Concept University 1 – N NTNU-CERN SW Partner University n Professional entrepreneurs Technologies Seed/PoC funds Pre-incubation structure IP support National Innovation Funds Projects flow National incubator 1- UK STFC-CERN BIC National incubator 2 National incubator n Investors VC Funds Spin-off companies

  5. NTNU-CERN Screening Week Students spin-off companies Success entrepreneurship stories: Tind Technologies: Installation and customization services around Invenio SW • Company created after 1 year in CERN “pre-incubator” • Spin-off agreement with CERN signed earlier this year • Received 1.5 million NOK in soft funding from NTNU Discovery GEM Radon Detectors: Development and commercialization of radon detectors based on GEM technology • Business plan finalization stage

  6. The STFC-CERN BIC Initiative Offer: From STFC; £40k, incubation space in dedicated centre, business mentoring From CERN; 40 hours of technical support, favourable access to CERN IPRs, use of CERN branding/labels Progress to Date: First round opened in 2013; 10 candidates chosen 8 company visits to CERN, 5 BIC applications received 3 companies successfully chosen to enter BIC 2 companies now resident: Croft Additive Manufacturing 2D Heat STFC-CERN Business Incubation Centre (BIC) Next round of applications scheduled summer 2014, contact zoe.lawson@cern.ch for more information

  7. Hannover Messe 2014 April 7-11, 2014 Some key figures: -170 000 visitors to the Fair (93% professionals), many VIPs -47 000 visitors to R&D Hall -160 monitored media reports about CERN-ESA

  8. CERN presence on the stand: • Technologies/ Technology Domains: • Advanced materials • Superconducting technologies and cryogenics • RF technologies and surface treatments • Vacuum technologies • Detector technologies • Microelectronics • Rad-hard electronics • Software and ICT tools • Spin-Off companies: • Amsterdam Scientific Instruments • IJSPEERT Innovative Technologies • SRB Energy • Tind Technologies • WIDEPIX • X-ray Imaging Europe • X-Ray Imatek • Very positive and promising preliminary feedback collected from co-exhibitors Recent CERN-ESA bilateral cooperation agreement => Limelight on technologies with potential double application to particle physics and space

  9. EuCARD-2 WP11 Advanced Materials (Mo-Gr) - dedicated thermal conductivity demonstration set-up: “Official” movie with interviews available for download from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hcqwhluaia827wx/CERN-ESA-Hannover-Messe-2014_Final_Version.mp4?n=247162037
