  2. TU Delft research for society ‘Established in 1842 for the education of engineers for the service of the country as well as industry and trade’

  3. Largest university of technology in Netherlands • 2.700 Academic staff • 55% international PhD’s • >200 PhD-theses each year • >5.000 Scientific publications p/y • 15.000 students • 3000 new students each year • 14 bachelor’s programmes • 41 master’s programmes TU engineers & technology utilized world wide • Worldwide research cooperation • >200 running EU projects • 36 Technostarters • 9 technostarter spin-offs • 8 Faculties • 160 sections • >350 professors

  4. Valorisation is key activity Key activities TU Delft Education Research Valorisation

  5. Research partnerships Options • Strategic partnership • Long term • Thematic research programmes • Consortium • Multiple partners • Private and/or public partners • Contract research • Short term • Few partners focus on single project

  6. Research partnerships Strategic partnership • Long term partnership with company • ‘Interactive science’ • Cooperation multiple faculties and research groups • Sharing of research facilities • Sharing of people • Match between market needs and innovative knowledge • Network forming based on concrete business proposites

  7. Research partnerships Strategic partnership • Cooperation on • Up- & Down stream • Renewables • Talent & Training • E.g. Sustainable Mobility Program • Identification of new research area • Focus on sustainability • 4 years • €3M Shell + €1,5M TU Delft

  8. Research partnerships Consortium • Focus on specific theme • Multiple public and private partners from entire chain • Long term cooperation • Open innovation • Integration in education • Market oriented research • Initiate new business activities

  9. Research partnerships Consortium • Identify new high potential product-market combinations in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems • Public and private partners from entire chain • 10 universities/research institutes • 23 companies • TU Delft is co-ordinator • 4 research clusters • Micro satellite (Delphi C3) • Smart microchannel technology • Microfactory • Fundamentals, Modelling and Design of Microsystems

  10. Research partnerships Contract research • Research focus on specific question • Short term • 1-1 relationship with scientist or group • Possibilities for subsidized funding • Possibilities for expansion to other areas of expertise

  11. Research partnerships Contract research • Gaspedal with haptic feedback • Force feedback of gaspedal and automatic breaking • Research results used in Infinity • Continued R&D for haptic steering wheel

  12. Entrepreneurship Applying knowledge for society • Commercialization of technological findings • Creation of business cases for patent application • Development with external partners • E.g. SME, Technostarters • Entrepreneurship in education curricula • Incubator YES!Delft • Stimulation of entrepreneurship • Support and guidance for technostarters

  13. Entrepreneurship Development with an SME • Invention of computer operated mould for free formed glass panels • Increase shaping freedom • Decrease cost • TU Delft patent • Partnership for development with Tetterode Glas (SME) • License agreement • Direct market application for partner • Continued R&D at TU Delft

  14. Dutch Climate Delta Strenghten position in knowledge clusters • Regional: sustainable environment frontrunner in Clean Tech innovations potential key project ‘Randstad Urgent’ • National: key area Climate • Europe: central role in realization Knowledge & Innovation Communities • Global level: connected to other Clean Tech knowledge clusters – specially MIT in Boston and SE Asia World Europe Context Netherlands MEANS Region Dutch Climate Delta Key area Climate Knowledge and Innovation Communities Global knowledge clusters

  15. Dutch Climate Delta Central role in Knowledge & Innovation Communities (KIC’s) … with special position as "living lab"… Dutch Climate Delta as crucial node in Climate KIC... • A realistic pilot environment in exsisting (living)area • Closing the gap between lab and practice through knowledge development, pilots and valorisation • Measure effects of innovations and improve by using knowledge networks • Integrate Clean Tech themes World Europe ECONOMY ETH Zürich KNOWLEDGE … contributing to the success of the KIC Paris Tech MIT, Boston Netherlands Potsdam WUR Experience with open innovation • Operational experience with open innovations • Housing of PPS, like BE-BASIC, ‘Living with Water’ London UU Region UU IPSL Paris High ambitions • Ambitious climate targets, even more then NL/EU • Active policy to achieve this (incl. launching customer, less regulation, co-investment) Climate Knowledge and Innovation Communities SPACE Available pilot • (Pilot) space where ideas and projects of the KIC can be tested, showed and scaled

  16. Entrepreneurship Development by a technostarter • Foldable container • Folded < 1 minute to ¼ size • TU Delft patent • Alumni started development • Development in cooperation with industry partners • Shipping line • Manufacturer • End user
