The document discusses business modeling as a 3 step process:
1. Mobilize - The first step aims to create awareness and mobilize relevant people to set the scope and assemble a team for the technology transfer work.
2. Design - The second step involves researching, generating, and testing viable business model options and selecting one to pursue.
3. Manage - The third step implements the prototype business model in the field and adapts it in response to market evolutions, which involves daily executive work and strategic/IP management concerns.

Assessing the commercialization potential of research-grounded technology projects is necessitated by the high failure rate and resulting in high cost of technologies either prior to reaching the market or once in the market. As a result, technology transfer offices (TTO) resort to preliminary assessments to get a first idea of the technologies’ commercial potential and select the most promising ones in case of limited resources. A set of criteria to perform such evaluations is provided here, which can be used by the TTO either in a continuous manner or through punctual calls for proposal.

Clustering and networking activities are relationship-based activities that support sharing and developing of competences, knowledge and methods. The documents within the toolbox have a clear focus on activities in the area of technology transfer. Networking and clustering activities are critical leverages for all transfer activities presented in this toolbox, namely: opportunities identification, IP management, Human resources and focused value proposition.

The presented Network Scorecard suite is a method aimed at supporting the strategic and operational management processes of networks. It relies on three principles: It is a participatory approach, where the networks key actors jointly define a shared vision of their networks performance. Moreover, its integrated approach covers the management cycle of the network including the definition of a strategy, a plan of action and a scorecard. And finally, it structures a network performance on four dimensions: the benefits to the members, implication of the members, external context and organization. The practice presents all necessary steps to involve the key actors of the network and structure the process.

Cluster Managers have expressed their interest in innovative tools that bundle knowledge and is continuously updated. To meet their demands, MFG has implemented an interactive Cluster Manual based on the Wiki principle. The Cluster Manual gives cluster newbies a ‘basic’ guideline and offers cluster managers an in-depth source for every aspect of cluster issues. Additionally, it documents success stories and best practice examples to build up a repository of internal generated knowledge (‘learn from the best’), gives an overview of the most important literature in the area of Cluster Management and combines all this with the knowledge of experts.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The Balanced Scorecard methodology is used, to give mangers a tool for translating a strategy or a vision into actions and to reach the set targets. The MFG Balanced Scorecard gives cluster managers a tool for managing their cluster initiatives by defining concrete objectives based on their vision and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard methodology helps to clarify and translate vision and strategy, to communicate and link strategic objectives with actions, to plan, set and align strategic initiatives and to enhance strategic feedback and learning.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
Professional tools for cluster or network management are more important than ever as the management plays a decisive role for the success or the failure of a cluster initiative/network. Today there are no general cluster/network management methods available to optimize the management. The presented practices use the Balanced Scorecard method which gives the mangers a tool to professionalize the management and to monitor activities including measuring successes.

FITT Toolbox: International Technology Transfer NetworksFITT
Many international networks are active in the field of technology transfer and give the opportunity to: be in touch with pairs at the international level, access to training and seminars, exchange of good practices and experiences, find partners or investors, promote an innovation and much more. The choice of the network of which you could be a member can be a challenge. The goal of this practice is to give you a quick overview of the existing organisations, and can be a guide for the choice of such a network.
The presented online cooperation platform was developed to give cluster managers and other cluster stakeholders access to current information and trends. It is set up in form of a Social Network on the topic ‘cluster management’ and offers users/members a central information tool, where knowledge is documented and exchange is fostered. Therefore it is an efficient way to foster exchange between experts, to build up a repository of knowledge including success stories and to present the topic to a broader public.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The network support services support the networks' sustainability by providing a set of logistics and communication services. Access to these services is conditioned by an agreement between the technology transfer officer and the network and the compliance with a charter. This agreement creates the conditions for a long-term cooperation and a win win situation: the networks gain access to free logistics and communication services, while the transfer officer gains access to strategic information from the field, the opportunity to develop specific partnerships and legitimacy.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
FITT Toolbox: Technology Transfer (TT) CollaborationFITT
The chapter TT collaboration addresses the topic of networking at two levels: Firstly, the added value of participating in networks for people active in technology transfer is highlighted at an international level. Additionally, at a local level, technology transfer network with local actors reinforces their local embeddings and grants a privileged, neutral and legitimate channel for two-ways transfer between transfer officers and other stakeholders.

The presented case study is about Siruna NV, which has developed software for real time deployment of mobile websites through a dual Open Source business model. Although this model is not widely adapted, this model can be easily copied as far as it helps to cover development costs by the help of a large and free developer community, helps to market the product, quickly, sets a reference in a rapidly evolving market and succeeds in creating value within an open source setting.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Business Modeling
Business Modeling stands as a process to design a sustainable business model.
This process is in essence a way to promote a business culture in a research context
and a set of tools to facilitate the design of a business model.
We describe best the business modeling effort in a 3 step process:
A business model (BM), the outcome of this process, is a representation of how an
organization makes money, or intends to. It is sustainable when each of its
stakeholders is willing to further the business relationship it entails.
Based on: http://www.businessmodelalchemist.com/2008/07/what-is-business-model-2.html

3. Mobilize
The first step to business modeling is aims at creating awareness around the starting Technology
Transfer effort, in order to mobilize the most relevant people.
It typically
sets the scope of the technology transfer work, and
assembles the best team to make the right business choices
the sole TTO team @ Imperial College (see practice “Business model decision”)
An ad-hoc team of market and innovation experts @ Tudor (see “Business model design”)
This steps is lightly addressed in the practice “business model design”, that proposes
a structuring framework. Awareness creation is a main topic of the Human Resource
Management activity in FITT Toolbox.
3 | April 2011 Business Modeling
4. Design
The Design step of the business model design process aims at researching, generating and
testing viable business model options, and selecting a good one to pursue the Technology
Transfer effort with.
A set of techniques supporting this step are described in the Business model design practice
How to better work jointly with industry contacts is illustrated by the Entrepreneur In
Residence program, part of the Business model decision practice.
4 | April 2011 Business Modeling
5. Manage
The manage step of our process aims at
implementing the business model prototype in the field and
adapting it in response to the market evolutions.
Is it the daily work of executives to manage the business. Strategic concerns of the 2
business model practices (Business model design practice & Business model decision
practice), and IP management concerns of the IP Management activity in the FITT toolbox
come in handy.
The SIRUNA business case provides an example of a business model managed to exploit
open source software (see “Open source business model”).
