Commercialization spin-offs Effective research commercialisation requires: – a sufficient portfolio of research; – a healthy ecosystem; The most common financial needs for universities in research commercialisation are: – pre-seed capital to fund prototype development – funds to support IP protection In US – one spinoff company is generated from a research expenditure of about US$150 million – For best performers - at US$50 million In Australia - one spinoff company is generated from a research expenditure of about A$113 million for the research-intensive universities - for the medium and small research profile universities - A$303 In Russia one spinoff company is generated from research expenditures from about 45 mil. Rub.(about US$1.5 mil.) to 1 mil. Rub. (about US$33 thousands). – funding One can to conclude that Russian R&D organizations look more productive in terms of setting up spinoffs companies?

Conclusions SISn is a growing system with fast institutional changes, emerging system of governance Geopolitically oriented mostly on EU; in R&D – EC policy Key players – MES, RUSNANO and RAS RUSNANO – challenge – Global player from the very beginning – With healthy ambitious – Building common Russian nanoarea – Institutional gaps – Building human capacity Public authorities measures are oriented on the research infrastructure development, “filling” institutional gaps in SIS; they are on line with actions implemented in other countries Millennium Project Planning Committee Meeting, July, 2011
Conclusions Russian SISn remains fragmented and misbalanced The main R&D capacity is concentrated in academic sector, some universities and in some R&D organizations of branch science In basic research Russian science is still among the leaders although step by step it yields its positions to new leaders Underdeveloped corporate sector of science; Lack of strong R&D organizations, which perform under the umbrella of corporations; hamper technology development and commercialization Underdeveloped infrastructure for technology transfer and commercialization lack of venture capital & specialized incubators Administrative barriers and lack of experience hamper technology transfer and commercialization Millennium Project Planning Committee Meeting, July, 2011
Conclusions Cultural issues impact SISn trajectory – Russian R&D organizations do not have traditions for the commercialization of research results or for the handling of patents and other IPR – shortage of individuals ready to combine science and business carrier – weak entrepreneurial tradition. At the home nanomarket dominate foreign companies Majority of Russian companies are SMEs and spin-offs; administrative barriers, high credit interest and lack of qualified personnel hamper them to develop their business Many Russian companies export nanoenabled product and have healthy ambitious, but lack of experience and lack of public support hamper export capacity growth lack of networks and lack of actions to support networks SISn is path dependent; problems formed in NIS impact SISn trajectory Millennium Project Planning Committee Meeting, July, 2011
