Technology Transfer and Application Examples @ DESY Beamtime for Industry Licensing Spin-offs DESY Technologies Validation Projects

Technology Transfer Project „MTCA.4 for Industry“ Duration: July 2012 – December 2014 Volume: 4 Mio. EUR (50% by Helmholtz, 50% by DESY & industrial partners) Goal: Commercialisation of a measurement and control system based on the electronic standard MicroTCA.4 in different fields of industry and research institutes Benefits for DESY and the companies: More and intensive cooperation between DESY and industry Higher visibility of DESY in industry, international research (FAIR, ESS, ITER) and society Increase of licence agreements and revenues Cooperation partners: 13 companies from industry Helmholtz Validierungsprojekt „MTCA.4 for Industrie“ (HVF-0016)

Data Management and Storage Development Cebit, 2012: DESY/IBM agreement on strategic cooperation for innovative storage development „Science“, 2012: Researchers from IBM and CFEL (DESY, UHH, MPG) constructed the world‘s smallest magnetic storage August 2014: DESY/IBM cooperation to develop Big Data solution for research – Goal: processing of up to 20 GB/sec for more than 2000 researchers

Materials Research & Nano Technologies Properties of materials: from toys to kevlar vests, from lotions to chocolate mousse ... Analysis & optimization of materials and surfaces Organic solar cell research Layers for credit cards Turbine blades Catalysts

Life Sciences Strong Life Science presence on the DESY campus (e.g. EMBL, CSSB, MPG) Nobel Prize 2009 for Ada Yonath Protein Crystallography: Research for tailor made pharmaceuticals

Industrial Access Direct and fast access to the beamlines No scientific peer review required Access on a cost basis Maximum of 5% of the user time at PETRA III All inquiries are treated confidentially Three types of contract for industrial access: Feasibility studies Short-term contracts Long-term cooperation Optional: Preparation and execution of measurements & specific data evaluation

Development of Industrial Usage of Synchrotrons 25 years ago large, multinational companies had the resources to fund beamlines or have the in-house staff capability to run beamtime Today: flexible access and support from synchrotron staff empowers even small companies to use synchrotrons Meet the needs: rapid access for short periods, flexible contractual procedures, competitive pricing and a range of services Usually, Life Science dominates the usage at the light sources Collaboration in grant-funded projects

The Science Link Network Large Scale facilities: Photons, Neutrons DESY- (DORIS) PETRA HZB BESSY, BERII HZG GEMS Materials Science - PETRA MAX-IV Laboratory, MAX-II and III 9 regional agencies – contact points 7 academic partners Funding 3.6 Mio EUR 2012-2014 partly financed by BSR programme 66 applications, 39 measurements

Technology Transfer and Application Examples @ DESY Beamtime for Industry Licensing Spin-offs DESY Technologies Validation Projects

DESY-Startup Office – established since 2013 Laser Technologies Nano Technology Life Sciences/ Medical Engineering Services Consultancy and training for potential spin-offs Organisation and provision of required services Coordination of DESY premises for founders Execution of market analyses in cooperation with external partners Networking of the spin-offs within DESY as well as the Helmholtz Association

Spin-offs @ DESY and University of Hamburg Currently 6 spin-off projects in the DESY Start-up Office Fields of research: Detectors, laser systems, electronics, beamline equipment, electron sources 5 spin-off companies succesfully founded 4 Helmholtz Enterprise funding applications submitted and granted

Innovation Centre Research-based incubator on the DESY premises High potential for innovation on the research campus Funding: 14.6 mio € from State of Hamburg (FHH) Operation: Innovationszentrum GmbH (DESY, FHH, UHH) Industrial application and market launch of R&D results through spin-off companies Establishment of a network of professional contacts and cooperations Return flow of know-how to R&D work

The Technology Campus as Innovation Driver DESY Campus Hamburg international hub for Excellent Science Raise awareness for innovation potential Meet customer needs Communication between research community, facilities and industry is of utmost importance We offer industrial companies Opportunities to benefit from the insights of basic research and to take an active part in the development of new technologies Access to scientific and technological developments and our globally unique facilities Opportunities to develop and improve (new) applications and products based on R&D at DESY Commercialisation of licences, technologies and services
