ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Structured Approach to Academic Technology Transfer: Lessons Learned from imec’s 101 Programme JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2017 A1 - Dimitri Schuurman A1 - Stan De Vocht A1 - Sven De Cleyn A1 - Aron-Levi Herregodts KW - academic spin-off KW - entrepreneurial action KW - entrepreneurship KW - incubation KW - research valorization KW - technology transfer AB - In this article, we describe imec’s 101 Programme for academic technology transfer and explain how it supports researchers by following a structured process in a limited amount of time and by carefully involving different stakeholders and people with relevant skills and expertise. The programme combines insights in terms of processes and of team composition from the entrepreneurship literature and puts them into practice in an internal incubation programme that is generated from the bottom-up. Based on hands-on experiences and interviews with key stakeholders in the process, we evaluate the programme and distill lessons learned. The article highlights the importance of a structured technology transfer process in the early stages of opportunity discovery and entrepreneurial action, and it offers insights on team formation for academic spin-offs.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Developing a Startup and Innovation Ecosystem in Regional Australia JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2016 A1 - Troy Haines KW - Australia KW - Cairns KW - ecosystems KW - entrepreneurship KW - incubation KW - innovation KW - mentorship KW - regional KW - startups KW - theSPACE AB - Technology is enabling change at an ever increasing pace, not only in urban contexts, but also in regional centres, where the Internet in particular is enabling entrepreneurs to compete in the global marketplace despite the size and remoteness of their home cities or towns. In regional Australia, the challenges of high unemployment, fading traditional industries, a lack of economic diversity, and a "brain drain" of talent to urban centres highlight the need for novel economic development strategies. Innovation and entrepreneurship are highlighted as potential solutions, but both require knowledge and support to be successful. In this article, the author shares lessons learned as an entrepreneur and through the ongoing development of a self-sustaining startup and innovation ecosystem in the remote region of Cairns, Australia. The model described in this article is now being applied to other regions in Australia, where trained champions are driving the development of startup and innovation ecosystems adapted to regional needs.
