8. 2. AIM OF THE PRESENTATION Presentation of innovative model of Jožef Stefan Institute - role and processes in the area of knowledge transfer R&D ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS OF JOŽEF STEFAN INSTIUTUE - Potential for commercialisation CENTER FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND INNOVATION - Facilitator of the process of knowledgetransfer END USERS - INDUSTRY - Receiver of the knowledge Key questions with examples from Jožef Stefan Institute? • How the make the process of transfer of knowledge as effective as possible • How to establish long lasting collaborative links between public organisations and industry • How to make the effective promotion of transfer of knowledge on the both sides

9. 3.NEEDS AND RELATIONS BETWEEN STAKEHOLDERS IN SLOVENIA IN THE AREA OF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

10. Increase the absorption capacity of enterprises 80's robotization... – what about today? biotech – IJS generates high-quality personnel for industry – all patented – there's no spin-offs because of the large initial financial investment spacetech – ESA retain the rights of IPR for Industry ICT – many start-ups with small initial investment, low IP, rapid changes nanotech, new materials – no industry in SEE – we must create it PULL : PUSH INNOVATIVE FIRMS MARKET = WORLD

EIS index EU27 – main competitors - comparison • China + min 10% PCT every year in last 5 years -> with intelectual propertyis possible to increase competitiveness of economy • Needed critical mass of invested funds for patenting of break-through reasearches: 500 mio EUR per industrial branch

21. 3. PROCESS OF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AT THE JOŽEF STEFAN INSTITUTE ACCOMPANIED WITH COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES OF OTHER INSTITUTIONS

22. Status of Center for Technology Transfer and Innovation at JSI National Institute of Chemistry Parent organisation – Jožef Stefan Instiutute Researchers - inventors CTT Building the critical mass

23. Internal organisation of Center for Technology Transfer and Innovation at JSI Head of CTT Case managing covering: - IPR matters - licencing - spin-off, spin-out - relations with industry - CCR - promotion - … Administrative support Legal support (partly within, mostly as part of parent organisation) Internal/External experts: technology, patent attorney, legal, economy

24. Basic principles of operation of CTT Internal promotion of knowledge transfer Identification of knowledge transfer cases Technology and market assesment Identification of business partners and funds • Internal knowledge transfer network:establilshing network of representatives of various research departments, other ways of networking • External knowledge transfer network:newtork in centres of knowledge, national and EU institutions and major national and EU companies, use of existing networks of other institutions • Technology brokering: identification of technological problems in the companies(that public R&D can solve) Added value is in networking and effective protection of intelectual property

25. Basic functions of CTT Consulting and implementing protection of Intellectual property of Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) and Institute of Chemistry (KI) Consulting and implementing licencing of inventions owned by JSI/KI Consulting and implementing creation of spin-off (when this will be legaly possible in Slovenia) and spin out companies of JSI/KI Consulting regarding contract research between JSI/KI and industry Consulting regarding research in collaboration of JSI/KI and industry Promotion of transfer of knowledge within the JSI/KI Strenghtening of ties between JSI and industry and promotion of JSI/KI in industry and educational organisations

26. Basic results of CTT Inštitut Publications, consulting, training, mentoring IP/knowledge/know-how Contract research (Lek...) Research with industry (Špica...) + patent IP licensing (Civabis, PAT) Spin-out or external partner Spin-off

30. 5. Conclusion

31. Cases of successful spin-out companies at the Jožef Stefan institute Modro oko: • Technology for upgrading of search engines and advanced visualisation of data • Estimated size of market: 1,2 – 2,6 bio USD InnCerT: • Technology of adhesive cover of dental prothetic products V postopku pridobitve formalnega soglasja na IJS • Estimated size of market: 1 mio of cheramic products that would need such cover in Europe only Ekomag-2: • Technology of softening of wather with magnetic field - Ekomag balls for use in washing machines Labena: • Technology of recombinant milk acid bacteria that atracts TNF-a peptides for curing intestinal deseases

32. How to go forward? Necessary adjustments of legislation (for example enable the ownership model) Preparation of regulations at public Universities/Institutes Training of researchers and other TTOs, also SMEs and individual inventors Work on cases (patents, licensing, spin-offs; help with calls, technology brokers) workshops TT conferences IJS 2K comp, 2009-11

33. JSI CTT, JOINT TT Not only how to patent. It is important to transfer knowledge into practice and know how to do it. Repay society's contribution to science. Thank you! http://tehnologije.ijs.si
