  3. Grows from EURECA 1 partnership; Complements other EURECA 2 activity • A tech audit confirmed shared interests and capacity in the biomedical industry • Recognition within State of Maryland and Oblast • Recognition within BPC as model for replication with other clusters • Advances mature US-Russia relationship of mutual interest • Model fits alongside other EURECA 2 projects in 2013-2016 • Future University Entrepreneurs and Leaders (FUEL) (ITMO) • UNN Innovation Ecosystem – Developing, Replicating, and Moving to Market • Training and consulting universities for growth in regional innovation ecosystem (New Eurasia)

  4. USRICprovides navigational and expert services and opens access to important university, state, and national and international networks. With its first presence at the Maryland International Incubator (MI2), USRIC is a staffed office that deploys the resources of the University of Maryland, the State of Maryland, and networks USRIC accesses on behalf of companies and innovative projects to further research and commercialization collaborations which have the potential to accelerate success in business. USRIC serves navigational and connector functions. UMD, American Councils -- and the networks it pulls in -- are familiar with resources and partners in U.S. regions outside Maryland and the U.S., and will make appropriate connections.

  5. USRIC is a tool for DEEPENING and BROADENING partnerships, using an “international soft landings” approach Nizhegorodskaya Oblast and the State of Maryland are deepening and intensifying their cooperation in biomedical equipment during EURECA 2, using USRIC as one tool. As founding members, their experiences will be instructive for other cluster-focused partnerships. American Councils through USRIC will broaden partnerships to other institutions (Russian companies and university projects), helping them to identify and advance concrete projects (research collaborations, commercialization, and Corridor partnerships): USRIC for Startups – servicing individual projects and start-ups USRIC Regional Corridors – servicingregional university-to-university links

  6. Key U.S. Collaborators

  7. USRIC Landscape: Innovation to Commercialization Government: Policy Interventions Consumer Academia Investors: Investments Business

  8. Lesson Learned: University Project/ Start –Up Orientation Training and familiarization is best complemented by experience Partners to universities are motivated by concrete projects

  9. USRIC for Startups • www.usric.org • Opened April 1 • Short application • USRIC received 68 eligible applications from 30 cities in Russia • USRIC selected 12 candidates to interview; 3 finalists/ 6 alternates • Residencies will begin and new application period will open in autumn 2013 • Initial 3-month participation can be virtual or a physical residency • Projects may be renewable • Nominal participation fee • No equity

  10. USRIC for Startups Within three years, at least 10 projects will have been served and 4-6 companies or innovative projects from Russia’s regions, will be engaged in commercialization-chain activity with US institutions. Activity can include entering the US marketplace or advanced collaborative research and commercialization activities with US partners.

  11. USRIC Services for Startups/ Projects • Dedicated USRIC staff to help navigate resources and develop a tailored and structured approach • Facilities support (office space, etc.) • Visa and logistical support • Assistance with filling out documents / applications (bank accounts, patents, funding) • Access to top research (universities) and advice on developing joint research • Assistance with registering as a US Company • Advice and access to funding/investors • Developing partnerships with US companies (for licensing, production, distribution etc.) as clients, partners, investors • Access to U.S. market for sales • Access to global market via U.S for sales

  12. Regional Economic Development /Cluster Partnerships Within two years, 2 or more new state-regional partnerships between US states and Russian regions around defined cluster collaborations will be established.

  13. Regional Industry Corridors • Industry clusters will foster regional economic development based on industry-based strengths of universities: new materials, IT, energy, environment, and healthcare. • Leading Russian and US research universities have expressed interest in establishing industry clusters collaboration and are now ready to take on active roles. USRIC is currently developing collaborations involving: • Maryland, California, Ohio, Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, Illinois • Sverdlovsk Oblast, Nizhegorodskaya Oblast, Tatarstan, Tomsk Oblast, PrimorskiyKrai, Mordovia, Novosibirsk, Moscow, and St. Petersburg In 2014-16 EURECA will establish Regional Industry Corridors to assist universities, governments, and businesses in pursuing their own self-interests more effectively and productively

  14. Russian Corridor Priorities

  15. U.S. Industry Cluster Mapping Clusters are geographically concentrated groups of interconnected companies, universities, and related institutions that arise out of linkages across industries. Example of automotive industry clusters by region, 2010 Source: US Cluster Mapping, mvp.clustermapping.us
