Program – May 8th
§ Session 2: Innovation Stream 1 - Sum up
§ Long developing cycle
§ Government founding is required until product is on sale
§ Investigate in search and development
§ End-user must be included in the development
§ Using programs / applications require a minimum of ICT skills (e.g. programming,
administration) in order to use it properly --> alternative SIMPLE Solutions
§ Education has to move with day life -> different education is required -> align
teachers/students which become teachers later with the direction of social life
directions
§ Technical community must understand the requirements and lower the threshold
to "it is good enough!“
§ Involve user as soon as possible in order to understand the users requirements
and to develop in this direction -> it is a kind of bootstrapping -> you do not need
so much finance until the product is on market and brings money

Program – May 8th
§ Session 2: Innovation Stream 2 - Sum up
§ Researchers tend to not have a strong business knowledge to “sell” their
solutions to entrepreneurs
§ Entrepreneurs tend to not have a deep technical knowledge about innovation
§ Therefore: what is the solution to bridge the gap between research institutions
and entrepreneurs, that they approximate and “speak the same language” ?
§ Proposal: motivate to create an intermediate entity (non-profit or government
driven)
§ This entity should visit research institutions and technically understand what they
are doing
§ In the same way, this entity should have contacts with entrepreneurs and start-
ups to know what are their necessities, or which kind of innovation can match in
theirs business
§ Many countries already have an entity with such characteristics, but there is no
much organization (from governments) to consolidate it
