Lessons and Models Developed in Fraunhofer Institutes for Engaging with the Private Sector Mathias Rauch, Deputy Director Fraunhofer Center for Central and Eastern Europe MOEZ Competitiveness Through Innovation Strategies, Policies and Incentives Monday 21 June 2010, Sofia

Structure of Presentation Fraunhofer Lessons from Restructuring the German Research System 1 Lessons drawn from Commercialization The Fraunhofer Business Model Fraunhofer Venture 2 3 Conclusion: Key Messages

Fraunhofer within the German Research System Fraunhofer operates in a dynamic equilibrium between application-oriented fundamental research and innovative development projects Research output must be market and customer oriented

Restructuring of the German Research System Institutes of the GDR’s Academy of Science (59) Evaluation of the German Council of Science and Humanities Leibniz Gemein-schaft Fraunhofer Gesellschaft Research Institutes of German Laender Helmholz Federal Institutes Max Planck

Restructuring of the German Research System Strenghts Weaknesses Excellent scientific basis Serious deficit concerning endowment and thus effectiveness of research Highly qualified research staff, esp. in natural and engineering disciplines Lack of access to high technologies compared to Western standards Distinct creativity concerning the development of alternative techno-logical solutions Challenges for Fraunhofer Estimation of integration capacity of AoS Institutes into the Fraunhofer portfolio Estimation of development perspective for significant industrial contract research

Financial Structure of New Fraunhofer Institutes Financial Structure of new Fraunhofer Institutes (Mio. €) Source: Fraunhofer Annual Report 1999

Integration of GDR’s Academy Institutes Success Stories Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS), Dresden Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF), Jena Leading Position in international research landscape Jena always was a center for optical technologies (Zeiss, Jenoptik etc.) Development of optical systems for future technology areas such as energy, environment, health, security, information and mobility Staff: > 200 (2009) Strong ties to regional, national and international industry partners 90 % contract research, 10 % public funding (2008) IWS has followed from the Academy of Sciences in 1991 Worldwide renown for excellence in laser and surface technology Returns development IWS Staff: 180 (2001); 279 (2009)

Structure of Presentation Fraunhofer Lessons from Restructuring the German research system 1 Lessons drawn from Commercialization The Fraunhofer Business Model Fraunhofer Venture 2 3 Conclusion: Key Messages

The Fraunhofer Business Model Performance-related funding model of Fraunhofer Gesellschaft Due to “applicability” Fraunhofer gains high share of contract funding Institute Funding: 1/3 institutional funding, 2/3 contract research Business Model endures direct engagement with the private sector

Commercialization of Research Findings Fraunhofer Venture - Overview Fraunhofer actively encourages researchers to found their own companies Fraunhofer Venture was founded in 1999 More than 120 Fraunhofer spin-offs, 37 successful technology transfers, 70 Fraunhofer investments, know-how with more than 4.500 patent families Provides professional backing for the spin-off activities by offering consulting services, such as: Development and optimization of business plans Selection of the legal corporate form Drafting of contracts Search for financing, research and industrial partners Fraunhofer might even offer part of the seed investment

Commercialization of Research Findings Fraunhofer Venture - Instruments Operates primarily before actual founding of company Target group: researchers of Fraunhofer institutes who developed innovative and profitable products or services Starting point: innovations stemming from Fraunhofer research Financing: 2 support programs FME: pre-founding funding to formulate business plan Up to 150.000 € per project (up to 3 employees for up to 1 year) FMM: pre-founding support through dedicated external managers Chosen jointly by entrepreneurs and FV Duties: demand analysis, production planning, PR, … Possibility to become executive director after founding

Structure of Presentation Fraunhofer Lessons from Restructuring the German Research System 1 Lessons drawn from Commercialization The Fraunhofer Business Model Fraunhofer Venture 2 3 Conclusion: Key Messages

Key Messages A PRO that conducts applied research needs close links to its customers, favorably close geographical proximity to its clients Thus, a sound industrial basis with actual R&D needs is the most important prerequisite for the demand of R&D services Set incentives that encourage researchers to apply their know-how to the benefit of companies and to focus on market needs Strengthen close links between applied research and top Universities and other centers of excellence, also internationally However, “every supply creates its demand”: economic, science, R&D and innovation policy makers must create favorable framework conditions for PROs and companies
