•
1 recomendación•699 vistas
This document discusses capacity building for technology transfer between universities and industry. It defines absorptive capacity and desorptive capacity as the abilities to incorporate and release new knowledge. Building these capacities requires interactions between different organizations and overcoming barriers like culture, risk, and high transaction costs. The document recommends universities and industry improve understanding, reduce costs and risks, and facilitate open communication to encourage innovation and knowledge sharing. Governments can help by creating supportive policies, funding research, and developing infrastructure.

Mr. Arundeep Pradhan (President, AUTM Foundation): Capacity Building for Technology Transfer
- 1. Capacity Building for Technology Transfer UNIVERSITIES AND INDUSTRY
- 2. Capacity Building “To ensure continuing prosperity in the global economy nothing is more important than the development and application of knowledge and skills” “In believe in innovation, and a way to innovation is to fund research” “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” Martin Rees, OM FRS FmedSCI Astronomer Royal President of the Royal Society, 2005- 2010 Bill Gates Steve Jobs
- 3. Capacity Building Why is Capacity Building Important? ◦ Improved understanding of foundational elements ◦ Enhanced capacity of companies to commercially utilize knowledge ◦ Improved problem solving ◦ Access to skilled workforce ◦ Access to specialized resources and facilities ◦ Localization of innovations
- 4. Capacity Building Absorptive capacity vs. Desorptive capacity Requires interactions between universities and industry Culture of the organizations Industry and universities Research Knowledge Innovation Education
- 5. Capacity Building Absorptive capacity: The ability to incorporate new technologies and methodologies in to the research, product development, and manufacturing processes. ◦ Size ◦ Research & development intensity ◦ Public subsidies ◦ Alignment Desorptive capacity: The ability of an organization to release knowledge towards a recipient that is able to commercially utilize it ◦ Culture ◦ Policies ◦ Resources
- 6. Capacity Building Government ◦ Policies ◦ Laws ◦ Regulations Industry ◦ Mission ◦ Utilization of knowledge ◦ Culture Universities ◦ Mission ◦ Basic research vs applied research ◦ Technology transfer ◦ Culture
- 7. Capacity Building Absorptive & desorptive capacity University Academic/research freedom Leadership Industry interactions Technology Transfer Leadership Rewards Students Industry Leadership Working with academia Support Risk appetite Time frame Culture Openness & Flexibility Commitment to transfer Skills Perceived value Time scales Information asymmetry Context and Interactions Risk Technology Transfer Mutual shared vision Technical skills Experience Objectives Adapted from University-Industry Relations: does technology transfer matter? Dell’Anno and Giudice, Dec. 2015, Journal of Innovation & Entrepreneurship
- 8. Capacity Building Formal and informal channels Most of the formal channels relate to technology transfer University Industry Informal Channels Publications Students Conferences Networks Formal Channels Research contracts Collaborations Consulting Licensing Startups Joint development Culture and Openness
- 9. Capacity Building in Universities Policies Culture Expectations Gateways Incentives for collaboration External drivers
- 10. Technology Transfer The intersection of science, business, and law The process by which knowledge and technology is transferred for the purpose of commercial utilization for the public benefit Science Business Law Technology Transfer
- 11. Technology Transfer Technology Transfer ◦ Staffing ◦ Background, skills and training ◦ Resources ◦ Funding and support Discovery Review and Assess Commercial Applications? Protect and Market Out Licensing Startup Development Industry Collaborations
- 12. Technology Transfer Programs to build capacity ◦ Faculty and student education ◦ Research vs Research services vs joint collaborations ◦ Easy license ◦ Technology gap funds ◦ Springboard funds ◦ Startup programs ◦ Seed investment •Commercial development •Product launch •Infrastructure •Workforce training •Product pipeline •Product diversification •University collaborations •Consulting •Translational development •Licensing •Startups •Industry collaborations •Knowledge creation •Students •Facilities •Workforce development Research & Education Knowledge use and Application Product Development & Manufacturing Growth & Maturity
- 13. Barriers to Interactions Culture ◦ Not invented here ◦ Not sold here Risk ◦ Technology ◦ Financial ◦ Intellectual property ◦ Opportunity High transaction costs Time value of money
- 14. Impact of Technology Transfer There are challenges Enhance regional and national ecosystems Create a cultural shift Need to take a long-term perspective (about 40+ years of effort)
- 15. In conclusion Universities and industry need to be: ◦ Open to receiving and disseminating knowledge ◦ Understand the risk profile of the research / innovation ◦ Reduce transaction costs ◦ Facilitate communication (at all levels) ◦ Reduce the exploration vs exploitation dilemma Government ◦ Cannot force innovation, need to facilitate it ◦ Policies ◦ Invest in funding research ◦ Infrastructure

- To understand how do build capacity Understand the ecosystem What is the incentive Do the respective corporate and university cultures facilitate or dissuade Understand how universities and industry interact If industry in the kingdom does not absorb the innovations, the innovations leave (not a bad thing) but a better thing is to retain them
- Three main players in building capacity Start with the capacity of the innovation ecosystem Then look at the absotrptive capacity of companeis And desorptive capacity of universities positive effects of relationship learning and absorptive capacity on competitive advantages of companies through their innovation performances in Taiwanese manufacturing industry. relationship learning and absorptive capacity positively influence upon innovation performances of companies, and further have positive effects on competitive advantages of companies.
- Policies – make it easy to interact with industry / remove bureaucracy / decision making / incentive to faculty / Culture – Not sold here (Not invented here) / commercialization is not negative / starts with the administration / Are tech transfer activities considered for promotion and tenure / no negative outcomes Expectations – income / impact / service / performance & metrics Gateways – these are not meant to suppress interactions with industry – but enhance and facilitate / industry complains about no front door / one such gateway is technology transfer External drivers – expectations of economic development / community
- Long-term Staffing – Management / Associates / administrative / accounting /intellectual property Background – varied / generally STEM / Bachelors to PhD / law / Skills – the greatest skills are translating science concepts in to business concepts Training – basic courses in academic technology transfer (assessing research) / innovation management / intellectual property management / lead generation and marketing / licensing and negotiations / research contract and collaborations / managing industry partners and licensees Resources – databases / market research / consultants Funding and support – divided in to operations and intellectual property / need to have enough long term funding / budget for IP protection needs to be established and managed very carefully
