“Technology transfer & exploitation in FP projects “Brussels, 23th September 2008Santi RistolATOS ORIGIN
Agenda • Introduction to technology transfer & exploitation in FP projects (5’) • Project examples about technology transfer & exploitation (50’) • Round table (35’)
Technology transfer definition “Technology transfer is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing and facilities among industries, universities, governments and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services.” (Wikipedia)
Exploitation in FP projects Patents Joint venture Start-up Product enhancements Innovation Spin-off Standards Introduce new products Research evolution Best practices
European Paradox (since 1995) “Good R&D, poor exploitation of results” European scientist produce world class science BUT this is not reflected in European economic performace European Scientific USA/Japan Scientific • Publish Scientific papers • Fills patents • Launch products • Launch companies • … • Publish Scientific papers Top-50 global companies are American - or Japanese and among the 12 most efficient companies, only 2 are from the EU.
Evolution of Framework Programs EVOLUTION OF OBJECTIVES FP1&2 => Excellent science at European level FP3 => Support of EU policies FP4 => Social-economic relevance FP5 => Exploitation of results FP6 => European Research Area FP7 => Implementation Lisbon Agenda What are we going to invent for FP8?

SMEs - An Opportunity for Europe • 23 million SMEs in Europe, employ more than 100 million people. • 700,000 in the ICT sector. • Half of these are considered as "innovative” => introduce innovations in their products and services on regular basis. • Around 50,000 invest more than 10% of their turnover in R&D. • Substantial source of new ideas and huge potential for growth. • SMEs transform innovations into new products and services morerapidly than bigger companies => Ecosystem of SMES • Europe can lead next ICT revolution with Future Internet and SMES can be the catalyst for this change
Selected cases & experts • BEinGRID project - Kostas Kavoussanakis (EPCC) • Technology transfer project, high number of reference use cases (25), start-up, open repository of components, … • Amigo project - Maddy Janse (Philips) • Take-up and open innovation strategies • TrustCoM project - Theo Dimitrakos (BT) • Transforming innovations into exploitation opportunities (patents, spin-off, framework, components, …) • Knowledge and technology transfer experience with GRIA - Mike Boniface (IT Innovation) • Experience with venture capitalists to create start ups – Marko Grobelnik (Jožef Stefan Institute)
