To Practice or Commercialization Educational or Training Concepts Purdue Research Park Cooperative Education Campus wide Startup Company Licensing Joint Venture Discovery Park is designed to rapidly integrate Purdue with outside partners. An Engine for Indiana’s Economy Value Proposition Project Ideas Seeding Nurturing Executing Discovery Park & University Infrastructure Industry
10
Alfred E. Mann Institute (AMI) at Purdue Alfred E. Mann is a successful entrepreneur in the medical device field. Created $1B+ non-profit Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Biomedical Engineering (AEMFBE) Mission is to expedite development of biomedical technologies at partner universities Endowing $100M+ non-profit Alfred E. Mann Institutes at partner universities (USC, Technion) Purdue is third partner site.
11
AMI Organizational Model Operates under umbrella agreement with Purdue Research Foundation (PRF) to expand our technology commercialization capacity Non-profit institute located in Purdue’s Discovery Park (DP) Governed by Board comprised of half Purdue and half AEMFBE selected members Uses ~$5M endowment income for all operational costs (e.g., rent, staff, resources)
12
AMI Organizational Model (cont.) Invests in and rapidly develops Purdue biomedical technologies Licenses developed technologies to companies (startup through established) Preference given to Indiana companies in order to fuel the local and regional economy Income is shared among inventors, PRF, AMI, AEMFBE
13
AMI Chief Advantages AMI will complete analysis on: –freedom to operate –barriers to market entry –time and cost to market –competitive technologies and market landscape –reimbursement strategies –regulatory approval processes –potential commercial partners Immediate resources will be brought to bear on projects developed by AMI
14
AMI Chief Advantages (cont.) Thus, technology will be subsequently licensed to a company when: – technical risk is significantly reduced: Working prototype(s) Commercial scale demonstration Preclinical and/or clinical studies completed FDA approvals in process or granted – market application is well-defined Result is a higher market value of the technology
