To take a giant leap or • Choose incremental development/improvement (this can be accelerated)
Universities in the Innovation Chain • The natural role of universities is in the basic research phase • input to industry: ideas and highly skilled graduates • at the university:sustainable development Present Academic Research Applied Research Development Concepts
IDEA - RESEARCH- DEVELOPMENT - PRODUCT Do not separate these steps
How to connect the two worlds ? • Academic Creativity • Industrial Expertise and Focus
Characteristics of industrial R&D • Market driven • Speed, TTM&TTC • Multidisciplinary competences • Large investments - return on investments • Strategic planning - foresight • Cooperation is a must
Knowledge,seen from a hi-tech company point of view • What can be done? • What does the end user want? Motto : “All research shall have a clear goal”
ImportanceofTeamwork • the knowledge is distributed • the power of networking • critical mass to build a team • monitoring quality
