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.

Standardisation is the process of developing and agreeing upon technical standards. A standard is a document that establishes uniform engineering or technical specifications, criteria, methods, processes, or practices. Standardisation, while promoting innovation, is an important part of the R&D-activities. Even in the very early stage of research, standardization is yet an issue, e.g. for the new technology to be universally recognized, having a quick launch to market, ensuring quality and facilitating trade, enhancing visibility and transparency.

Four Michigan public universities, collaborating with private sector for-profit companies and state government agencies supporting technology commercialization and innovation, have successfully implemented methods for building and sustaining entrepreneurship, technology development and commercialization at emerging research institutions: distributing the cost, promoting best practices and affecting the cultural changes within institutions necessary for sustaining these activities. This program, led by Michigan Technological University has produced a model, termed U-TEAMED (Multi-University Technological and Expertise Assets Management for Enterprise Development). The emergent model offers guidance for identifying and capturing the important features of sustainable, faculty-led early-stage technology innovation and entrepreneurship education programs at emerging research institutions. Lessons include methods for securing revenue, sustaining faculty enthusiasm, anticipating IP and commercialization barriers derived from faculty-student collaborations, and creating an academic environment supportive of embedding technology innovation and entrepreneurship in academic curricula.

IP management is about the way an organization handles it’s intellectual property through different processes of protection, valuation and exploitation. For each process complementary strategies apply, guaranteeing the best choice of commercializing the IP portfolio. The process of protection considers patenting amongst others. During the process of valuation the technology can be evaluated by quantitative or qualitative approach or as a combination of both. How to bring the technology to the market, how to create business etc. are questions that are dealt with during the exploitation process.

Wie gelingt #Content #Marketing für #Versicherungen? Einige Praxisbeispiele für Content Marketing für Versicherungen habe ich im Juni 2016 im AMC Meeting dem Arbeitskreis Internet präsentiert. Die zentrale Frage lautete: Wie gelingt Content Marketing für Versicherungen? Einige Praxisbeispiele, Strategien und Erfolgsfaktoren haben wir diskutiert.
Das Internet hat das Kundenverhalten verändert. Hybride Kunden sind heute gut informiert und nicht mehr so leicht mit Werbung zu gewinnen. Menschen suchen nach Antworten, nach einer klaren Ansprache, eindeutigem Nutzen und informativen Angeboten. Sie suchen nach relevanten Inhalten. Content ist ein wirksamer Marketing-Faktor, mit dem man Kunden gewinnen kann.
Starke Marken = Starker Content? Eine bekannte Marke ist noch lange kein Indiz für erfolgreiche Inhalte. Content Marketing braucht auch „eine neue Denke“: Marketers müssen umdenken, denn Kunden suchen keine Produkte, sondern Lösungen für ihre Probleme. Sie erwarten relevante Inhalte im richtigen Format, leicht auffindbar in ihrem Lieblingskanal. Es geht also im Content Marketing nicht nur um das „was" (Themen), sondern auch darum, „wie“ (Strategie) und „wann“ und "wo"(Konzept) Inhalte geteilt werden.
Versicherungen müssen sich lösen von quantitativen Zielen und mehr auf qualitative Kennzahlen setzen. Beim Engagement geht es z. B. ums Teilen, Kommentieren und Liken. Die Inhalte müssen digital sichtbar sein und die Bedürfnissen der Nutzer erfüllen. Dafür sollten Versicherer stärker die Beziehungen zu Influencern zum Community Aufbau pflegen. Es geht darum, die digitale Marke emotional mit Persönlichkeit aufzuladen und Nähe herzustellen. Dabei müssen Marken ihre Inhalte in alle Formate und Kanäle ausspielen.
Wie ist der Status Quo von Content-Marketing bei Versicherungen? Für das digitale Leben gelten klare Regeln. Im Social Media schaffen Versicherer bislang durchaus Aufmerksamkeit, aber oft reichen die Relevanz nicht für einen Abschluss. Insgesamt wird das Potenzial durch Content-Marketing die eigene Marke zu stärken und neue Kunden zu gewinnen kaum ausgeschöpft. Als positives Beispiel gilt das Allianz-Magazin. Die Allianz bietet in ihrem Magazin interessante Stories mit Unterhaltung, in umfassende und attraktive Medienformate verpackt.
Wie gelingt es Unternehmen, durch gut gemachtes Content-Marketing Kunden zu finden und zu binden? Zudem soll die Marke an Persönlichkeit gewinnen. Der ARAG gelingt es mit ihrer Kampagne „Auf ins Leben" ein gutes Content-Marketing, das neben redaktionellen Beiträgen auch auf Videoformate setzt. Anschließend habe ich noch einen Überblick gegeben, welche Strategien, Instrumente und Methoden im Content-Marketing wirksame Unterstützung bieten.

The performance of a public research organisation in generating innovations and transferring technology is largely influenced by the transfer awareness of researchers. The research staff who are interested in transferring results and understand this process are more likely to follow properly the disclosure and patenting procedure, anticipate and communicate with TT responsible in the right moment, be more product and market oriented or participate in choosing the transfer strategy and potential partners. Some examples of actions which the TTO can use to create transfer awareness among researchers and engineers are presented in this process.

FITT Toolbox: Network of Technology Transfer ContactsFITT
In order to facilitate the continuous watch of the labs activities and make up for the geographical distance with some research teams, a French technology transfer office has appointed local ‘technology transfer’ reference persons in some labs. Close to the teams, these contact persons act as intermediaries between researchers and technology transfer officers. To find out more about this way of structuring the information flow, with great impact on awareness raising and early detection of projects with transfer potential, the following documents will provide additional information and feedbacks about its implementation.

RTU has been purposefully developing to become the 3rd generation university that provides high quality education, ensures excellence in research and carries out innovation and technology transfer. The sustainable innovation and commercialization is a new objective declared in RTU strategy for 2014-2020. The university needs implementation of new support structures and tools to facilitate relationships between research groups and the outside environment. There are several internal structural units (“Department of Business and Innovation”, “Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre”, “Design Factory”, “Career Centre”) and a network of external institutions where RTU is co-founder and active participant, for example: “Latvia Technology Park”, “Green Technology Incubator” and other.
RTU provides the mandatory course “Product Development and Design” (6-9ECTS) and internships for all undergraduate students implementing the concept “Learning by Doing” and helping in setting up their future business and acquiring investments.
The internal units ensure a one-stop agency for industrial partners and provide support to RTU’s researchers to: identify and assess potentially interesting research results; identify suitable commercialization methods and industrial partners; patent and research results; create prototypes; negotiate with companies and prepare contracts; create spin-off companies. They consult on business, design and engineering issues and carries out different activities stimulating researchers to interact with external players.
The external institutions promote market-oriented objectives of the university research and engage the university in strategic partnerships with stakeholders form business, national and regional authorities, other universities and research centres.
The presentation explore functioning and interaction of main players of commercialization process, shows the latest RTU achievements.

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.
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.

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 Business Model Design practice supports the definition of a sustainable business model, collaboratively with all its stakeholders. To Technology Transfer Officers this practice proposes reference canvas and tools easily tailored to support most business strategic decision. To researchers, this practice is in essence a way to promote a sound business culture and a set of tools to facilitate the design of a business model. Its foundation from the design science make it practical and result oriented.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
At Imperial Innovation, the decision regarding the business model is taken by the technology transfer officers. The reason is that researchers often lack market knowledge and commercial skills and are therefore not always able to see the full potential of a certain technology. To enhance the commercial skills of researchers, Imperial College London has set up the Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design program. The program gives students and researchers the opportunity to follow an entrepreneurial journey that provide them with insights into the challenge of introducing novel products and services to market.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The Technology Transfer Officers often need to develop a whole business idea to rightly exploit an interesting opportunity, generally along with its owner. This process therefore proposes guidelines for driving strategic decisions and designing a sustainable business model. It builds upon practical situations to propose practices that work. The variety of initial contexts is such that some will obviously be of interest to you.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. What is the Research meets Business event?
This practice presents a format of matchmaking event, organised
by a research organisation and directed to SMEs.
During this event, enterprises have access to a short and lively
review of the R&D in their field and to researchers via individual
meetings.
The final goal is twofold : trigger partnerships and technology
transfer and position the research centre as a reference in the
sector.

Definition of the format
This event “Matinale de Rencontres Entreprises- Laboratoires” has been organised by Ecole
Polytechnique, in association with the Center for Innovation of Paris region (CFI).
Objective: foster exchanges between companies and laboratories
Targeted audience: SMEs and research laboratories of Ecole Polytechnique
Characteristics required by the host of the event (Ecole Polytechnique):
Targeted, on a specific theme (versus generic)
Friendly
Seeking the maximum exchange
In this case the choice was :

8. From idea to implementation
Post event
- Thanking the persons involved in testimonies and flash poster session. Asking them the
autorisation to distribute their slides to the participants.
- Sending slides to the registration list (including absentees), along with the proposition to
make appointments with technology transfer office and CFI teams.
- Sending to the contact list the scientific newsletter of Ecole Polytechnique ‘FlashX’
dedicated to Instrumentation and Health (planned to be released shortly after the event)
- Proposition to SMEs that didn’t come to organise a meeting in their facility with a
technology transfer officer of Ecole Polytechnique and a partnership advisor from CFI to
speak about their needs and expectations for future innovation projects.
- Follow-up 3 to 4 months later to know if participants have launched new collaborations and
explore their interest for another event.

9. Who?
Organisers
Technology transfer office of Ecole Polytechnique
The following persons were involved (approximately 2.5 man.month in total)
• Phd student (consultancy mission): management of event & coordination of speakers,
contact with SMEs
• TT officers: link with laboratories to explain the goal of the event, scan the innovations
and R&D projects that fit to the theme, contact researchers for testimonials
• Administrative assistant: organisation of event, mailings to participants, catering
Center for Innovation in the Paris Region (CFI)
The TTO contacted the CFI shortly after the decision of organising the event. The CFI has a deep
knowledge of the enterprises by sector and shared its database to invite firms. The expertise
of CFI was available for industrials during the event via the possibility of individual meetings.
Audience
Enterprises : mostly SMEs within the region

10. When? Where?
• The event was organised on half a day, in the facilities of the Ecole Polytechnique.
• From idea to realisation on November 25th , the preparation lasted 6 months
• Ideally, these lab-enterprise encounters would be organised on a regular basis:
once or twice a year on different scientific topics (for example ICT in transport, bio-
health, data computing and visualisation..)

11. Pro’s and Con’s
PROs CONs
• Communication : visibility of the scientific activities and
technologies available for transfer (patents, software) or • A briefing of the speakers is recommended beforehand,
partnership research as the event targets enterprises looking for innovations
to improve/scale up their business. The testimonials
• The scientific focus facilitates the screening done by the
should be well balanced and suited to the audience.
TTO of enterprises of the sector (large groups and
SMEs) and motivate them to participate, as a part of
their strategic watch
• With the ‘flash’ presentation of posters, the business
people in the room can associate the projects with
persons, which greatly facilitate the contacts in the
networking session later.
• By giving regular overviews of its latest projects in a
field, the institution will be most likely to become a
reference for enterprises.

12. Why ?
The technology transfer office from Ecole Polytechnique was looking for ways to bring closer
enterprises and laboratories, in particular by:
• Reaching out to new enterprises : the TTO has built contacts with industrials partners over
the years, through collaborations and partnerships. The TT team would like to reach now to
companies that are usually not familiar with the institution, especially SMEs .
• Consolidating existing relationships between companies and labs and communicate on
the latest R&D activities.
The TTO came up with this format of Lab-Enterprise Encounters.

15. Impact
Questionnaire & appointments
Satisfaction questionnaires
• very positive feedback
• the question "Following this morning, do you have a better idea of possible
interactions between businesses and laboratories" was graded 4.2 / 5
Appointments with business advisors from regional Centre for Innovation
• 8 appointments scheduled : quite successful
• opportunity to detect very early the projects of doctoral students & propose paths
for support

16. Outcome for Ecole Polytechnique
In conclusion, the technology transfer office is satisfied by the format and is considering
the organisations of other events.
The participation of PhD students was significant and the interaction with TT officers and
CFI was deemed very interesting. Contact with PhDs students appear as a way to
source projects very early in their development and to detect transfer opportunities for
the TTO technology transfer office. They could be a target for dedicated actions.

16 | 02.2011
17. Lessons learned
- Drawback of open format for posters: even though some researchers and PhD students
have adjusted their presentations to highlight potential applications for industrials, many
posters were too specific and technical.
- Discrepancy between high number of SMEs expressing interest for event and real presence
This shows the importance of establishing a relationship with the company before the event.
Calling the persons registered a few days before as a smooth reminder can be a small action
with a big impact.
- Individual meetings with CFI have been very appreciated. The demand came from
compagnies as well as researchers and PhD students. Requests were done through the one-
line registration form, which allows to identify early the best interlocutor and prepare a
planning for appointments.
- Foresee some time prior the event to gather the material for the testimonies and flash
poster presentations (title, author, slide…) and check that no element is missing.

18. Perspectives for future
The following adaptations have been proposed:
• Improve contact with enterprises before the event, to guarantee their venue
- Through prior discussion on their needs by phone or meeting
- An option is to ask the compagnies to prepare a poster to present their activities (this
solution was already possible but only 1 SME submitted a poster; this could be a
requirement)
- Another option is to pay a small fee
• Propose a canvas for the posters:
- Common items for all posters

o Possible applications:
o What are we here for/ our expectations:
o What we look for/ our needs:
