  1. International Conference on Technology & Innovation Management 10-12 October 2012, Nepal Private Public Partnership in Technology Innovation and Promotion Said Irandoust Professor, Chemical Reaction Engineering President, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)

  2. Backdrop (1/2) • Key global challenges • Global growth • Health • Environment • Food security • Inclusive, sustainable and equitable economic growth • Enhance productivity • Enhance employment • Enhance competitiveness • Eradicate poverty • Sustainable development, future sustainable growth, economic and social development

  3. Backdrop (2/2) • Human beings are gifted with creativity and innovation. Knowing the unknown is the very essence of mankind. It is the NATURAL resource in every community and country • Mechanism to transform these resources into sustainable development assets • Private public partnership is one of the means to support innovation and equitable access to its benefits • Social and economic development

  4. Innovation….a key determinant National Competitiveness in Knowledge Economy Improved Productivity Human and Social Capital Capital of Applied Knowledge Innovation Capacity Social and Economic Development

  5. Innovation & Growth… Japan Source: Japan External Trade organization (JETRO), Bangkok

  6. Needs / Challenges (1/2) • Integration of Science, Technology, Innovation and IPR in the knowledge value chain • Challenge is how to strengthen connectionbetween “Science & Technology” and “Society” • Create an Innovation eco-system wherein private enterprise and University can symbiotically operate, flourish and expand • Secure and respect public interest • Public access to research outcomes • technology accessibility • Affordability

  7. Needs / Challenges (2/2) • Establish Institutional framework to stimulate private and public participation in technology innovation promotion • Attract researchers and inventors in the region / nation for innovation activities • Translate this research into directed tangible technological innovationto enhance productivity and competitiveness • Enhance applicability of research for innovation • Mobilize public and private research for economic and societal development

  8. Approaches

  9. National Level Infrastructure and Policy Framework (1/2) Inadequate interaction between Universities and Industry Private / Industry Sector University and Public Research ??? Economically and technologically relevant New Product and /or Process

  10. National Level Infrastructure and Policy Framework (2/2) Regional Industry / Private Cluster 1 Regional Lead Institute Cluster 1 Innovation System Common Strategic Research agenda Professionalizing Universities Faculty and Industry Personnel Mobility IP ownership and benefit sharing Competitive Grants Centers of Excellence Economically and technologically relevant New Product and /or Process Enhanced Innovation Capacity, Productivity and Competitiveness

  11. Clusters-Specific Innovation Environment • Geographic concentration of interconnected companies and associated institutions • Cluster ….driver for innovation • Innovation based Competitive pressure & advantage • Peer pressure, combined technological learning • Compete and cooperate • Flexibility and capacity to actualize idea into reality • University cluster ..strong and open bridge between technology and industry • High quality human resource (Scientific, technical, managerial, Entrepreneurial) • Strong basic research infrastructure • Seeding and experimenting with innovative technologies • Business led need based research

  13. Industrial clusters at Furuflaten, Norway • Furuflaten - successful industrial community • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently established an MIT-Fabrication Laboratory Norway • Center for development of new ideas and products • New businesses • Industry Cluster • Strong businesses and industries • Governmental and local services for the industry • Close access to national and international educational and research community Source: Arne Gjengedal, Industrial clusters and establishment of MIT FabLab at Furuflaten, Norway, 9th International Conference on Engineering Education, 2006

  14. Innovation System • Responsiveness to industry needs • Public organizations such as “Universities” • Financing Mechanisms • Entrepreneurship • Management of IPR • Capacity Building • Effective use of IPR system in research

  15. Knowledge Creation Capitalization of Knowledge Technology Development Commercialization Changing Role of Universities….. Improve National economic performance Organizational Financial advantage Technology Diffusion in the Interest of Society

  16. An Innovations System Approach

  17. Strengthening the University-Government-Industry Chain

  18. Success Factors for a Regional Innovation System

  19. Commercialization of Research Results from Universities Requires…

  20. Challenges for Universities

  21. Challenges for Industries

  22. Ways of Partnering • Consulting (without patentable inventions) • Work directly with researchers • Contract directly between researcher and Business • Sponsored Research (with possible inventions) • Contract between University and Business • Statement of work • Licensing (of patented inventions, and of know-how) • Contract between University and business • Terms for the commercial exploitation of University / Research Center owned technology

  23. Role of Intellectual Property Rights • IPR system provides a policy framework to transform innovation and creativity related intangible resources to value added assets • Innovation and IPR as an integrated default process in research • Initiate Business-led research • Eliminate Valley of Death • Protect, Publish and Prosper • Economic advantage to all the stakeholders

  24. Innovation and IPR Initiatives in AIT

  25. Innovation Process at AIT…Rationale • Integrated innovation management process • Integration of human resource in a policy driven system • Policy top-down and Working Bottom-up approach

  26. Innovation at AIT…An Operational Framework • Internalization ...Harness Ideas ...Facilitate Commercialization/ Explore Market

  27. Technology Outreach & Commercialization IPR Enabled Technology Development Draft Patent Applications, Register trademarks ….. Design of experiments proof of concept Value Added Default Innovation Process in AIT Patentability Evaluation Strategize Publications Patent Search Analysis / Mapping Categorize Technologies Internal Capacity building and Systematized Approach Laboratory Notebooks

  28. Water Purifier LPG Gas Sensor Solar Cell Methanol Hydrogen Reactor Photocatalytic Paper

  29. Innovative Building Technology Developed at AIT

  30. Paving the Path for the Future.… • Establishment of Innovation Help Desk for Industry and institutes & individuals • Service related to innovation identification, use of IPR system to conduct business led research, Patent search, Patent landscaping • Capacity building, creating a critical mass • Networking with industries in the region • AIT in collaboration with CARD can jointly work for increased innovation capacity among Nepalese institutions
