Intel faced challenges developing new photolithography technology and organized an industry consortium called EUV LLC to coordinate research efforts. However, problems emerged as the US government intervened and technical progress stalled. Intel was forced to extend existing technologies and push back EUV development timelines. Effective organization of R&D requires balancing internal and external efforts, exploration and exploitation, and value creation with value capture.
A Changing Model: Moving technologies from research to applicationsPARC, a Xerox company
What has to change in the lab-to-market model when there is disruptive change in technologies or markets, such as that now being driven by flexible electronics?
Typical lab-to-market models using primarily internal resources can respond well to incremental market or technology changes, and can also be optimized for rapid development cycles. However, they do NOT handle major disruptions in markets or technologies because too many pieces of the ecosystem have to change simultaneously.
Based on PARC's experience across a range of technologies and industries which has resulted in over 30 new businesses, Mark Bernstein, CEO of PARC, shares some lessons learned and recommendations for addressing the challenges raised by disrupted lab-to-market ecosystems.
This presentation covers: (1) how companies can create an early warning system, bring in outside expertise/ open innovation partners, and position themselves flexibly for new near- and long-term opportunities; (2) specific case studies; and (3) PARC’s view of the ecosystem framework for developing products based on flexible electronics.

"Fostering Massachusetts' life science ecosystem", Dr. Susan Windham-Bannister, President and CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC). Presented at Better innovation in biotech, part of MIT Startup Exchange cluster workshop series on 2/26/15, see http://startupexchange.mit.edu/startupexchange/html/index.html#viewOpportunity/51
Mr. Brian McCarty, Director Air Force Medical Services, Directorate for Research & Acquisitions AF/SG5, provides an overview of their mission and areas of foci to be supported by COBRA & Omnibus 4 vehicles.
Open innovation is nowadays a widely spread concept in both academia, business and policy making. However, during the last years research and industry put only a little effort to understand how they can be integrated into universities technology transfer methodologies to foster technology market exploitation. Indeed, it is well known that university technologies are usually on a too early-stage to attract industry investments. Furthermore, there are several barriers that limit the IP return on investment, such as companies lack of adequate human capital to manage external IP in a strategic way, different timing requirements between long-term academic research versus exploitation-oriented industry, and different reward incentives systems.
Small and Medium sized Companies (SMEs), due to their limited capability to access external resources, result to be the perfect candidate for receiving the outflow of emerging technologies from research laboratories. Even though their flexibility can be an advantage to accelerate innovation, they lack of the internal resources to manage the whole innovation process.
For such reasons, we studied and designed a methodology to reduce the gap between industry and academia. We aim at helping researchers understand the value of their work in terms of market opportunity, and to develop a process of transition from TRL (Technology Readiness Level) 4 to TRL5 aiming at providing SMEs with a validated technology and business case that can facilitate the technology adoption.

Emerging and Innovative Approaches in Photovoltaics 2014 Report by Yole Devel...Yole Developpement
Emerging and Innovative Approaches in Photovoltaics
It’s time to reinforce and reshape R&D efforts to speed-up the PV business
NOW IS THE TIME FOR INNOVATION!
2012 - 2013 was a tough time for most PV manufacturers, as they faced difficulties due to strongly decreasing market prices resulting from an overcrowded market and high total manufacturing overcapacities. During this period the industry was focused on securing short-term sales, and there was little investment in new equipment and R&D activities.
But now the PV market is showing signs of renewed optimism. Investors are renewing their interest in PV start-up companies developing emerging PV technologies and applications. Equipment makers are finding new opportunities in equipment sales, either to increase production capacity in existing facilities or to build new ones. Big players, especially in China, are increasing their acquisition activities in order to secure a competitive advantage.
All of these developments open new opportunities for R&D funding, and the possibility to transfer R&D achievements into an industrial environment. At the same time, the increased performance and decreasing cost of PV components and systems will allow for new applications and wider use of PV technology for electricity generation.
PHOTOVOLTAICS: WHERE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION?
Although photovoltaics (PV) has reached a relatively high level of technological maturity, with many PV products commercially available today, strong efforts are underway to develop new solar cell technologies, to improve the performance of existing ones and to develop new applications for solar cells.
In this report, the PV industry’s main technology and market trends are presented, and the suitability of different PV technologies (crystalline silicon, CIGS, organic PV, etc.) for various applications is analyzed - with a focus on existing potential for further innovations.
For most conventional applications, where PV serves solely to generate electricity, it’s difficult to compete with continuously improving crystalline silicon technology, which dominates the PV market (>85% market share). Therefore, most developers of alternative PV technologies are focused on other PV functionalities (flexibility, color, low-light performance, indoor light performance, etc.) and on alternative application segments. Moreover, tandem and multijunction hybrid approaches, such as a multijunction solar cell, are also being studied.
The large number of process steps in PV product manufacturing provides great potential for innovative solutions: by avoiding, replacing, improving or adding process steps and materials used, a combination of many “small” improvements can lead to better performance and lower manufacturing costs.

A Concept of High Technology and Case of Software Designing FirmDr. Nazrul Islam
There is a controversy among the researchers regarding the concept of high technology (high-tech) firms. Therefore, an attempt has been made to identify the specific aspects or characteristics of high-tech firms and its application in software designing firms (SDFs). The study shows that most of the researchers have the convergence among their opinion of high-tech firms. They defined high-tech concept with the help of different products and services of companies in diverse environment. The specific aspects of high-tech firms are: product and process sophistication, research and development intensity, technically educated employees, a fast rate of growth and high degree of vulnerability, scarcity of human resources familiar with the technologies, all or parts of the products are based on the recent innovations or new technologies, a worldwide product for its market, new technology makes existing technology obsolete very quickly, turbulent environment characterized by realignment of competitors, changing customer’s needs, changing regulations, new competing products and so on. It is also identified that SDF's are high-tech firms.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Wilson develops the Consortium option:
– Resolves Free Rider problem with a complicated business model:
“Virtual National Lab” VNL organized:
• EUV LLC company manages research; holds all IP
• Lawrence Livermore + Sandia + Lawrence Berkeley labs run it
– ~150‐170 people working on EUV
• Intel (12‐15p; $50m); Motorola (6‐8p; $10m); AMD (2p;$5m)
– Bought shares in EUV LLC
• Equipment manufacturers (Nikon and Canon) purchased rights of first
refusal with guaranteed margins to convince them to make
photolithography equipment.
4. Intel Photolithography Update (2)
• Problems emerge for EUV LLC:
– Congress steps in to limit foreign companies value capture…EUV
LLC forced to create incentives for domestic companies
– By 2006, technical progress on 45‐nm EUV faces major problems
including power issues.
– Intel pushes EUV back from 2008 (now!) to 2011 on
Roadmaps…extends optical technologies with “computational”
tricks to correct errors that are smaller than wavelength of light.

8. Summary
Intel: Decentralized R&D structure reflects availability of externally‐available
technology plus a strategic lock on industry standards
Intel’s strategy is distinct among semiconductor makers: Intel exploits externally-led basic research, and
concentrates on adapting it to get products to market quickly. Intel “free rides” on fundamental research from
competitors such as such as Lucent and IBM. They set the rules of the game through their control of
standards and architecture.
Technology • Major technology advancements are acquired from external sources
• Product life cycles are very short
