3 Wright Brothers Institute “We Power Innovation”

4 AFRL-WBI Partnership Intermediary Agreement Wright Brothers Institute “An AFRL Innovation Institute”

5 IDEA Lab WBI - Innovation Tools Global literature search Concept mapping Functional analysis Divergent Collaboration Support to deep dive, blue sky and collaboration forums Open innovation/crowdsourcing Tools Global literature search Concept mapping Functional analysis Divergent Collaboration Support to deep dive, blue sky and collaboration forums Open innovation/crowdsourcing Collaborative Innovation Projects Tec^Edge Works Prototyping Center AFRL Center for Rapid Product Development University of Dayton Research Institute Center for UAV Exploitation Wright State Research Institute Partners Rapid Prototyping Projects Commander’s Challenge AFMC Open Innovation Pavilion

6 WBI - Collaboration Tools Forums Collaborative Facilitation Collaborative Spaces Virtual Collaboration (Go-to- Meeting, VTC, etc.) WBI Neutral Facilitator Tec^Edge Innovation and Collaboration Center $6M Center for UAV Exploitation Center for UAV Exploitation 17 WBI-led Collaboration Forums 1,340 collaborative events between gov’t, academia, industry, international 7 AFRL research teams 53 visiting university researchers, including international $9M Center for High Performance Power Electronics $5.5M Nano Bio Manufacturing Consortium$X Center for High Velocity Technology Commercialization

7 Technology Commercialization WBI - Technology Transfer Partners AFRL ORTAs Dayton Development Coalition Dayton Defense Contractors Assoc. Ohio Edison Centers Ohio Third Frontier Program DOD PIA Network Partners AFRL ORTAs Dayton Development Coalition Dayton Defense Contractors Assoc. Ohio Edison Centers Ohio Third Frontier Program DOD PIA Network IP Mining Air Force Technology Transfer Assured Aerospace Fuels Research -- $700K in new business -- Facility reopened Commercial Use of AFRL Facilities Tech “Spin-In” and Cooperative Research

9 The Need Elite performers require deeper knowledge about their bodies … in real-time If elite performers take action based on the real-time knowledge they receive, they will be able to perform better and longer Elite performers are willing to pay for this kind of actionable knowledge 9

10 The Technologies Bio-Marker Sensor technology from AFRL Micro-Fluidic technology from AFRL and The University of Cincinnati (UC) Flexible electronics technology from Averatek Mobile app and cloud analytics technology from Emitti Manufacturing technology from BioOhio members in the Dayton, Ohio Region 10

11 The Genesis Midwest Federal Laboratory Consortium Meeting held at Wright Brothers Institute in August 2012. 11

12 The Process (part 1) WBI becomes aware of AFRL Bio-Marker research during 2012 Midwest FLC meeting WBI joins with SRI International in 2013 to stand up the Global Aerospace Innovation Center (GAIC) in Dayton, Ohio AFRL and UC Co-Develop wearable sensor technology AFRL assigns technology (with royalty provisions back to AFRL) to UC and UC files patent applications UC establishes Eccrine Systems as the entity to advance the technology through Exclusive Channel Collaborations 12

13 The Process (part 2) GAIC verifies and quantifies market needs through multiple “league of users” interactions GAIC stands up Joint Venture (JV) company called CoreSyte to go after Elite Performers markets GAIC negotiates license agreement with Eccrine Systems CoreSyte secures Venture Capital (VC) funding commitment CoreSyte follows GAIC development commercialization process CoreSyte plans to negotiate CRADA relationship with 711 th HPW at AFRL 13

15 Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets 15

16 GAIC Mission Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets 16 Facilitate the rapid transfer of aerospace technologies developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and its R&D partners to commercial products and markets.

17 Example 1: Wearable Sensors GAIC Opportunities $6B annual market by 2016 35% annual growth Source: 2012 IMS Forecast 17 Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets

18 SRI WBI GAIC Team The GAIC Brings Together Critical Team Skills WBI – Neutral Team Facilitator & AFRL Broker SRI - User Needs Facilitator & Investor Broker DDC – Facilitate 3 rd Party Funding/Resources on a Project by Project Basis DDC Not Every Project Has 3 rd Party Funding

19 The GAIC Uses a Market-Driven, Hi-Velocity Commercialization Process Proven Process: -- Over 50+ new companies with market capitalization of over $20B -- 80% Success Rate

20 The GAIC Uses a Market-Driven, Hi-Velocity Commercialization Process League of Users Forums Value Creation Forums Innovation Workshops Tech Transfer Prototypes Business Planning Boot Camps

21 GAIC Accelerated Commercialization Process Phase 1 “Innovate” (6-12 Months) Phase 2 “Launch” (12 Months) BriefsTrials Implement Business Plan

22 Brings together Users Technology Companies Federal Laboratories Investors The GAIC Has Developed a Unique COLLABORATION MODEL GAIC Process
