  9. 1. Regional context and sources

  10. 2. Regional strategy • Strong regional agenda on economic growth and cluster development, based on core strengths: • Cleantech (Biobased Economy, Water and Deltatechnology, Renewable Energy, Mobility & Transport) • Medical technology and life sciences • Security Delta • Strong collaboration between 4 main cities (Rotterdam, Delft, the Hague and Leiden) and Province of South-Holland. • Knowledge economy policy, Economic development policy and Infrastructure policies are strongly interwoven.

Education First years 3.613 Students 17.530 Master & doctoral degrees 2.242 International students 2.769 Bachelor's programmes 15 Master's programmes 33 Research Academic staff 2.491 PhD dissertations 303 Scientific publications 5.604 Publications in professional journals 719 Patents 44 4. TU Delft Facts and figures (2012) • Finance (Millions of €) • Equity capital 314.6 • Liquidity position 232.5 • Government funding 384.7 • Income from the work for third parties 150 • Rankings • THE World ranking: No. 22 in Engineering & Technology • Elsevier Valorisation Ranking (NL): No. 1 in Valorisation. No. 1 most Entrepreneurial Dutch university.

  26. 4. TU Delft – IPR & Tech Transfer • For most academic start-ups or spin-offs IPR is dealt by the TechTransfer Office of the university. • For employees at the university that make an invention, the university will apply for the patent and owns the patent, but revenues on the patent are equally shared among 3 parties: the university, the department and the inventor (33% each). • On average 45 patent applications each year. 15 are granted. We have an active IP-portfolio of 190 patent-families (1300 country specific patents). Yearly costs of IP-portfolio is 1MEuro. • Patents can be licensed to start-up or spin-off companies or transfered in return for a share/stake in the company.

  27. TU Delft – Entrepreneurship Education • 3 Minor programs in Entrepreneurship: • Technology Based Entrepreneurship • International Entrepreneurship & Development • Health innovation and Entrepreneurship • 2 dedicated Master course: • Turning technology into business (based on patents) • Writing a business plan • A total of 500 students take these courses/minors each year

  28. TU Delft – Startup funding Goal • Improve the availability of early-stage capital for TU Delft startups and spinoff companies to cross the valley of death. Funding instruments • Pre-seed funds for start-up companies (personal loan / soft loan of 15k Euro; total fund of 2 MEuro, revolving) • Proof-of-Concept fund for developing prototypes or proof-of-concepts (between 100k and 250k Euro investment; total fund of 2 M Euro) • 3 Seed investment funds: • Mainport Innovation Fund (8 M Euro) • Dutch Greentech Fund (20 M Euro) • ICOS Capital Cleantech earlystage fund II (11 M Euro) • All between 500k Euro to 1.5 M Euro investments

  29. TU Delft – Startup funding • Pre-seed fund • Collaboration between Rabobank and TU Delft. 50% of the fund is guaranteed by the Dutch government – 50% of the risk has been covered. • Proof-of-concept fund • Collaboration between Rabobank and TU Delft. 50% of the risk is covered by the Dutch government. Fund takes share in company. • Mainport Innovation fund • Partners are TU Delft, KLM, Schiphol and Rabobank. 50% of risk is covered by the Dutch government. Fund takes share in company. • Dutch Greentech fund • Partners are TU Delft, WWF, Rabobank, Wageningen University. Fund takes share in company • ICOS Capital Cleantech earlystage II. • Partners are ICOS capital, CSM, BAM, Imtech and TU Delft. 50% of risk is covered by the Dutch government. Fund takes share in company.

  30. TU Delft – Startup funding • Pre-seed loans: on average 30 loans /year provided • TU Delft is shareholder of more than 20 spinoff/startup companies (IPR related, direct investments) • ICOS Capital cleantech earlystage fund: • Greenclouds, Dutch Rainmaker, Bio-Actor, Biaqua (TUD) en Photanol BV., Re-Steel (TUD) • Mainport Innovation fund: • Casper BV, Multi Pilot Simulations, EC Solution Group BV en Ampyx Power (TUD). • Dutch greentech fund: • Alert solutions (TUD), Ampyx Power (TUD), Protix biosystems, Meatless

  31. 10. Main challenges • Executing the new ROM-development and investment fund at the region • Consolidating the network and cleantech cluster • Increasing the number of students and researchers participating in awareness and entrepreneurship education • Location and space for growth-companies at Technopolis • Attracting international cleantech companies to settle in the region and locate their R&D facilities and offices there

  32. 11. Conclusions • A weak national agenda on greening the economy – short term and lack of R&D funding and capacity building • A strong regional economic growth agenda with a focus on Cleantech. • Dedicated long-term support by the City of Delft (knowledge economy and startups) • A dense network of long-term collaborating triple-helix partners (NGOs, regional government, incubators, universities, science parks, banks, companies, research institutes, consultancy companies, and VCs) • Good cluster infrastructure and test/demo facilities in the region (science parks, business parks, research facilities) • Dedicated cluster development organization (ROM and CTD) • Dedicated entrepreneurship education program (DCE) • YES!Delft incubator with access to capital, knowledge and networks • Good availability of Proof-of-Concept funding, Seed funding, and VC
