  1. Global Aerospace Innovation Center and Initial Deal Craig A. Steffen Technology Transfer Program Lead Wright Brothers Institute August 20, 2014

  2. So What IS This WBI Of Which I Speak? I’m glad you asked …

  3. Wright Brothers Institute “We Power Innovation”

  4. Wright Brothers Institute “An AFRL Innovation Institute” AFRL-WBI Partnership Intermediary Agreement

  5. WBI - Innovation IDEA Lab • Tools • Global literature search • Concept mapping • Functional analysis • Divergent Collaboration • Support to deep dive, blue sky and collaboration forums • Open innovation/crowdsourcing Open Innovation Pavilion Collaborative Innovation Projects Tec^Edge Works Prototyping Center Partners • AFRL Center for Rapid Product Development • University of Dayton Research Institute Center for UAV Exploitation • Wright State Research Institute Commander’s Challenge AFMC Rapid Prototyping Projects

  6. WBI - Collaboration Tec^Edge Innovation and Collaboration Center • 17 WBI-led Collaboration Forums • 1,340 collaborative events between gov’t, academia, industry, international Neutral Facilitator • Tools • Forums • Collaborative Facilitation • Collaborative Spaces • Virtual Collaboration (Go-to-Meeting, VTC, etc.) WBI • 7 AFRL research teams • 53 visiting university researchers, including international Center for UAV Exploitation $6M Center for UAV Exploitation $9M Center for High Performance Power Electronics $5.5M Nano Bio Manufacturing Consortium $X Center for High Velocity Technology Commercialization

  7. WBI - Technology Transfer Air Force Commercial Use of AFRL Facilities Technology Transfer Assured Aerospace Fuels Research -- $700K in new business -- Facility reopened • Partners • AFRL ORTAs • Dayton Development Coalition • Dayton Defense Contractors Assoc. • Ohio Edison Centers • Ohio Third Frontier Program • DOD PIA Network IP Mining Tech “Spin-In” and Cooperative Research Technology Commercialization

  8. So What IS This “Initial Deal” Of Which I Speak? I’m glad you asked …

  9. The Need • Elite performers require deeper knowledge about their bodies … in real-time • If elite performers take action based on the real-time knowledge they receive, they will be able to perform better and longer • Elite performers are willing to pay for this kind of actionable knowledge

  10. The Technologies • Bio-Marker Sensor technology from AFRL • Micro-Fluidic technology from AFRL and The University of Cincinnati (UC) • Flexible electronics technology from Averatek • Mobile app and cloud analytics technology from Emitti • Manufacturing technology from BioOhio members in the Dayton, Ohio Region

  11. The Genesis • Midwest Federal Laboratory Consortium Meeting held at Wright Brothers Institute in August 2012.

  12. The Process (part 1) • WBI becomes aware of AFRL Bio-Marker research during 2012 Midwest FLC meeting • WBI joins with SRI International in 2013 to stand up the Global Aerospace Innovation Center (GAIC) in Dayton, Ohio • AFRL and UC Co-Develop wearable sensor technology • AFRL assigns technology (with royalty provisions back to AFRL) to UC and UC files patent applications • UC establishes Eccrine Systems as the entity to advance the technology through Exclusive Channel Collaborations

  13. The Process (part 2) • GAIC verifies and quantifies market needs through multiple “league of users” interactions • GAIC stands up Joint Venture (JV) company called CoreSyte to go after Elite Performers markets • GAIC negotiates license agreement with Eccrine Systems • CoreSyte secures Venture Capital (VC) funding commitment • CoreSyte follows GAIC development commercialization process • CoreSyte plans to negotiate CRADA relationship with 711th HPW at AFRL

  14. So What IS This GAIC Of Which I Speak? I’m glad you asked …

  15. Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets

  16. GAIC Mission Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets Facilitate the rapid transfer of aerospace technologies developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and its R&D partners to commercial products and markets.

  17. GAIC Opportunities Moving Aerospace Technologies to New Markets Example 1: Wearable Sensors • $6B annual market by 2016 • 35% annual growth • Source: 2012 IMS Forecast

  18. The GAIC Brings Together Critical Team Skills • WBI – Neutral Team Facilitator & AFRL Broker • SRI - User Needs Facilitator & Investor Broker • DDC – Facilitate 3rd Party Funding/Resources on a Project by Project Basis Not Every Project Has 3rd Party Funding DDC GAIC Team WBI SRI

  19. The GAIC Uses a Market-Driven, Hi-Velocity CommercializationProcess Proven Process: -- Over 50+ new companies with market capitalization of over $20B -- 80% Success Rate

  20. The GAIC Uses a Market-Driven, Hi-Velocity CommercializationProcess • Innovation Workshops • Tech Transfer • Prototypes • League of Users Forums • Value Creation Forums • Business Planning • Boot Camps

  21. GAIC Accelerated CommercializationProcess Phase 1 “Innovate” (6-12 Months) Phase 2 “Launch” (12 Months) Briefs Trials Implement Business Plan

  22. The GAICHas Developed a Unique COLLABORATION MODEL • Brings together • Users • Technology Companies • Federal Laboratories • Investors GAIC Process

  23. So What IS This CoreSyte Of Which I Speak? I’m glad you asked …

  26. CoreSyte– Example of the GAIC Accelerated Commercialization Process and Collaboration Model Project Genesis • Bio/Nanotech Sweat Sensor Technology developed by AFRL(Dr Rajesh Naik, Dr Josh Hagen) and UC (Dr Jason Heikenfeld)* • WBI identified tech transfer/commercialization opportunity Phase 1: Innovation (9 Months – Nov 2013 to Jul 2014) • GAIC Identified Needs, Concept, CoreSyte JV Team, Strategic Investor • UC/AFRL Prototyping* • GAIC Facilitated UC/Eccrine Exclusive Channel Collaboration with CoreSyte JV Phase 2: Launch(12 Months Starting Aug 2014) • CoreSyteJoint Venture Launches • SRI - System Integration • UC - Sweat Sensor Dev • Averatek – Product Engr & Supply Chain Mgt • DG Medical – Possible second source for Mfg** • EMITTI – Mobile Apps, Cloud Enterprise** • Funded by Strategic Partner for Equity Stake • $2.5M • Investor Also Develops Channel Partners • AFRL-JV CRADA facilitated by GAIC* • AFRL receives royalties from UC/Eccrine* * = AFRL ** = Commercial Small Businesses in the Dayton Region

  27. What Else is GAIC Doing? I’m glad you asked …
