- 2. Economic Significance “The economicsignificance of the research university goes far beyond its role of education and training. For several decades, university research has increasingly formed the foundation of significant technological advancements. These technologies enter the marketplace through research collaborations with industry, licenses, and to an increasing extent, university-driven efforts to turn new ideas into start- up companies.” Jan Crispin, Senior Research Economist. The Economic Impact of Startup Companies and Invention Licensees Originating from Research at the University of Utah. Bureau of Economic and Business Research, 2011.

- 15. What Worked forUtah • Leverage/OPM – Grants – Donors – Effort • Fund Critical Paths – Monitor milestones – Do not fund “no results” – Post performance funding: money chases success • Outcomes depend on shots on goal – control strangles speed and momentum – place small bets with immediate milestones • Capital formation is about outcomes
- 16. Reinvented University Commercialization • Changed from cost recovery to investment model – Cost recovery is inevitably a failure – Changed the nature of our work to the positive • Commercial sponsored research = sustainable business model • Total mission integration = strategic engagement • Evolved structure
- 17. Universities and the Innovation Ecosystem “Universities do not get enough credit for the fact that as players in our innovation ecosystem, they’re willing to gamble on cash-strapped startups. At the end of the day, who else is offering to pick up the tab? … Warts and all, universities remain willing to pay patent costs to support expensive and increasingly sophisticated IP strategies for startups who will likely never be able to pay them back.” - Melba Kurman, Triple Helix Blog, 25 Feb 2011
