Mapping of TT ecosystem

© 2012, Clifford M. Gross, Ph. D. Tekcapital Ltd.  Scientists - main role: −Conduct research −Idea generation > products/svcs −Engage in entrepreneurial activity −Support commercialization  Public / private bodies – main role: −Develop funding schemes −Very early stage gap funding −Develop policies −Monitor −Law making  Investors – main role −Investment −Growth  TT structures / intermediaries −To ensure above stakeholders work towards successful commercialization! Mapping of TT ecosystem

TEYDEB 1513  Strengthening existing structures  Enabling new structures  2013 > Learning curve for Universities, intermediaries and TEYDEB  Challenge existing TTO definition, manage expectation on KPI s  Look into multiple models of TT −Technoparks −University TTO s −Regional TTOs −Thematic (bio, agri, …) focused TTOs −Collaborative / joint structures..?

Research Value Chain

1513 Structure for SU  Beneficiary : Research and Graduate Policies Research & Graduate Policies Directorate (1513 TTO) Project Development Office (Grants) Project Management Office Technology Transfer Office (Commercial Contracts & Licensing) Inovent (Incubator & Start ups) Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) (Tech transfer SMEs) Module 2: Grant Programs Support Module 3: Project Development, Contract management, Industry collaboration Module 4: IP Management Module 5: Entrepreneurship Module 1: Awareness, training, professional development activities

SU Key policy issues on commercialization processes  Collaboration −in research −in technology development −in professional networking  IP Management −Clear principles −Flexible structures −Value vs. benefit based negotiations > no single model −Maximum support for asset generation −Focus on −Asset management −Value extraction  Entrepreneurship −Technology based ventures / Academic entrepreneurship  Conflict −Disclosure / Tolerance / balance

Challenges & Opportunities  Extensive capacity and track record of successful research management −Numbers & sustainability  IP Portfolio −Generated 60 + faculty invetion disclosures −Secured 7 int’l patents Cum SPR > 100 M TL Active SPR > 50 M TL active projects 25% Industry (15% Ind funded) Growth 10 fold in the last 2 yrs 75 $ 150 reg 500 appl disc d/yr > 100 yrs! 200 d/yr > 10 T 0

Challenges & Opportunities The pull / push effects Expectations Role of TTO Get rich And now! Get involved as we like Motivation? Science or product Institutional structures 1513 TTO Model ? (why establish a TTO) Legal framework & public policy

Challenges & Opportunities Clear and visible support from the university for sustainability Financially Strategically Politically Investment in human resources Training Bringing in the right talent Building the ecosystem Two-way street Paradigm shift on the part of Universities as well as… The INDUSTRY!
