A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
BUILDING BUSINESS CASES INSTEAD OF SELLING PATENTS, TO AN INTEGRAL SOLUTION FOR KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND VALUE CREATION

3. How can we optimise, secure and support the proces of knowledge transfer and
improve transparancy within and the success of our effort?
More complexity in the proces - it is not only about selling patents, it is about building sustainable
business cases.
More people, with different skills, involved - research, business, legal, etc..
Need to learn about success factors in the proces and roadmaps for knowledge transfer.
We want to monitor and report to improve our performance.
Barriers with the outside world (firms) need to be broken - main barrier is organisational factors.
The proces needs to be secured - it should not depend on individual expertise.
THE PROBLEM OUR APPLICATION SOLVES
OPTIMISE, SECURE AND SUPPORT THE COMPLEX PROCES OF KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

EXAMPLE

6. Start a business case and define the roadmap for business development and knowledge transfer
by choosing the relevant Tracks, Chapters and Checks.
Multiple users working on the business case during this roadmap.
Staff, business developers, researchers, entrepreneurs, experts (different right profiles).
The system provides real time insights and possibilities to monitor and assess the development of
a business case for relevant users and stakeholders (dashboards reports and reports by label).
It facilitates the communication between those who are involved (creating action points, remarks,
deadlines, etc.).
It automatically produces relevant and specific documents like an invention disclosure, business
plan, NDA, patent application, etc. by using templates.
It provides you knowledge about the success of different roadmaps and enables you to learn about
this process.
It files all the relevant information about a case.

OVERVIEW OF REMARKS & ACTIONS

12. “Kennispark bears responsibility for the business development and technology transfer processes of the
University of Twente and Saxion University.
The strengths of the technological research in these organizations are a mix of ICT, micro/nanotechnology,
biomedical engineering and sustainable energy. We combine them under the term "High Tech Systems and
Materials".
In such an environment, clear pathways for developing and licensing a patent are absent. Most of the work
focuses at new technologies for new market opportunities, and start-ups and spin-offs are the most
common results of the business development effort.
As a result we need a strong process and IT support structure for building our business cases, to
allow a stepwise progression of every individual case, assign priorities and tasks to the many
people involved in each case, to structure communication and to secure data and results.
Idea2Venture is that IT support structure. It was designed to do just that. We are also involved in the further
optimization of I2V together with the other users of the product, allowing us to go through a steeper learning
curve.”
