AGENDA

”Internovaliza;on”
In
a
context
of
economic
slowdown
and
produc;on
reloca;on,
it
is
necessary
to
establish
access
strategies
to
highly
innova;ve
markets,
to
facilitate
the
transfer
of
innova;on
to
emerging
or
mature
industries.
Growth
Dimensions
Current
restric'ons
in
the
organic
growth
of
companies
are
causing
global
movements
of
great
strategical
interest,
based
on
the
need
for
technological
diversifica;on
and
interna;onaliza;on,
in
two
dimensions:
• New
Markets
(downstream):
Diversifica'on
towards
emerging
growing
geographical
markets
(India,
China,
Brazil
and
developing
countries).
In
this
dimension,
companies
scout
for
alliances,
purchases
and
market
entry
strategies
in
order
to
open
new
markets
where
sales
growth
may
be
created.
• New
Technologies
(upstream):
The
need
for
growth
also
involves
introducing
new
products
to
diversify
companies'
business
and
product
porjolios,
or
to
allow
the
replacement
or
upgrade
of
exis'ng
technologies
with
fast
life
cycles.

Project
Goals
• SUNN
technology
plaIorm,
developed
by
4i,
provides
a
link
between
different
agents
of
the
innova'on
system
(research
groups,
disrup've
start-‐ups,
venture
capital
funds
and
companies)
and
allows
them
to
interact.
SUNN
is
a
neural
system
that
learns
from
the
supply
and
demand
requirements
of
disrup've
technology,
by
understanding
the
rela'onship
that
exists
between
industrial
capabili'es,
compe''veness
factors
and
technological
innova'on.
• The
system
is
based
on
extensive
research
of
Israel’s
innova;on
model,
carried
out
between
2009
and
2013,
in
which
we
have
come
to
understand
and
standardize
the
success
of
the
so-‐called
Start
Up
Na'on.
• SUNN
will
allow
users
to:
• Automa'cally
access,
search
and
browse
interna'onal
innova'on
opportuni'es
that
can
affect
industrial
compe''veness
(patents,
spin-‐offs,
research
groups
and
startups,
from
Israel,
Singapore,
the
U.S.,
Finland
or
Spain)
• Increase
the
visibility
of
university
research
groups
towards
the
demands
of
interna'onal
industrial
corpora'ons.
• Detect
na'onal
and
interna'onal
disrup've
innova'on
projects,
financed
by
venture
capital
funds.
• In
both
cases,
watch
and
be
watched
in
the
interna'onal
environment
of
disrup've

c
• Nowadays,
SUNN
