Workshop at the WCIT 2014
Innovation & entrepreneurship ecosystem in Jalisco
Jaime Reyes Robles, Secretary of Innovation, Science and Technology, Government of the State of Jalisco
Sometimes it seems that nearly every large company on the planet is establishing some sort of innovation presence in Silicon Valley – be it a full-blown center, lab or a fledgling outpost. Tech and non-tech companies are here. They’re committing time, dollars and talent in the hope of leveraging
the concentrated startup and academic ecosystems to some varied definitions of success. They’re betting that being close to the epicenter of others’ ideas and success automatically conveys a benefit.
That’s dangerous and lazy thinking.
What’s the rush and what does an innovation presence really contribute to the business and the marketplace as a whole? Is all of the recent frenzied activity the result of some kind of corporate FOMO (“fear of missing out”) around the next big thing? Or is there really something special and unpredictable that comes out of a well-curated and geographically well- situated set of relationships,talent and ideas?
It’s not easy to be ‘innovative,’ and we could quickly drift into the territory of clichéd term if we are not careful.
So what does innovation mean today? Can you create a culture and learn the skills that can serve as the spark and kindling for the pursuit of something that really matters? Or is it ever so easy to commit one of the transgressions of innovation and either think too far out into the future without any purpose, or merely get involved in projects of short-term incremental improvement?

In the world of the enterprise, innovation must extend from the initial ambitious ideas gathered from R&D labs around the world, all the way through applied R&D with industry partners, and into the development and commercialization of technology products and platforms.
Innovation starts with the spark of the right culture and talent meeting that ambitious and once hidden idea. But it doesn’t stop there. In the world of the enterprise, I see the practice of innovation as encompassing a full lifecycle. It starts with those crazy and ambitious ideas that are then iterated and shepherded through a rigorous process of applied R&D. For the ideas that finally prove their worth, new technology products
and platforms that address significant business problems are created and taken into the marketplace.
I call this multi-phase process: Full Lifecycle Innovation. It is a practical approach to one of the most creative and essential practices in business today:
Transforming Ideas form the Lab Into Marketplace Realities
The practice of Full lifecycle innovation requires a layer of processes, resources and decision criteria – each one a little different for the four phases of the journey:
1. Open Innovation
2. Applied R&D
3. Product and Platform Development
4. Commercialization
At each step, truly powerful events are triggered, explored and nurtured as different players, technologies and ideas enter the mix. All of them are serving the goal of creating something that is substantially bigger and more impactful than the simple sum of its parts. Something that is truly remarkable.
At NTT i3, we believe that Full Lifecycle Innovation is about:
Curating a culture of ambitious ideas
With rebellious talent from around the world
Dedicated to turning hidden opportunities into real products

Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Innovation is one of the key enablers for European enterprises to compete in global markets. The term ‘innovation’ is constantly used in speeches of managers, politicians, public administrators. However, in the large majority of cases, the term is used as a generic 'place holder', a sort of container whose actual content is left to the intuition. For this reason it is important to deeply elaborate, specifically on the notion of Enterprise Innovation, to better understand the essence and meaning of innovation.
Innovation stems from a virtuous mix of intuition, creativity, and a solid background knowledge. Each innovation endeavour has its own characteristics, largely different from previous experiences. It falls in the category of ‘wicked problems’, i.e., problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, fuzzy, changing requirements. Nevertheless, there are recurring patterns and it is possible to conceive systematic methods, and supporting information systems, to promote and manage innovation avoiding the risk to close it in a ‘cage’, risking depressing the fundamental creativity and fantasy. This talk will present an innovative framework for enterprise innovation that includes a methodology and an innovation management platform which is based on an generic behavioural pattern (i.e., independent of the industrial sector), a strong knowledge orientation, and an innovation monitoring system funded on a number of Key Performance Indicators, to constantly keep the progress of the innovation project under control.

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.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
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.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
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.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

9. COMPANY OVERVIEW
Epyxs develops and markets advanced digital protection and
forensic technologies to secure, track, trace, indentify and
authenticate goods and documents.
10. THE INITIAL RESEARCH PHASE WAS DRIVEN
BY CURIOSITY AND FORTUNE
1998 Prof. B. Wirnitzer from the Institute for Digital Signal
Processing of the Hochschule Mannheim began to study the
storage of digital information in raster images.
2000-
2000-2002 Wirnitzer participated in an industrial project to
store digitized audio signals on 2D-codes and begun to
develop the 2D-code with the highest storage density.
2003 Wirnitzer noticed that printed high-density 2D-Code
show different microscopic patterns and came to the idea to
use this pattern to protect documents from forgery.
2003 Slavi Bonev developed the first prototype to acquire the
stochastic pattern, to determine a signature and to evaluate
the feasibility of the new technology in laser printing.
11. FIRST TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER RESULTS INFLUENCED
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES FOR SEVERAL YEARS
2004 Presentation of the concept at the Hannover Industry
Fair to identify use cases and potential industrial research
partners for the S2i Technology with no major success.
2004 S2i Technology was included in the database of the
Enterprise Europe Network, and discovered by an Austrian
company interested in using it to protect the content of
printed and electronic invoices.
2005 With the financial support of the Karl-Völker
Foundation the team developed a solution to protect the
content of degree certificates using the S2i Technology.
2005 MFG distinguished the solution to protect degree
certificate with the do-it.software award. The technology
was licensed to the Austrian company.
12. ATTEMPTS TO PROTECT IP AND FIND INVESTORS
FAILED DUE TO REDUCED MARKET KNOWLEDGE
2005 Patent management agency of Hochschule Mannheim
declined to support patenting due to lack of market
potential. The rights were transferred to Wirnitzer and Bonev.
2006 Presentation at MFG´s Heidelberger Innovation Forum
to identify industrial research partners or investors to develop
the technology to protect documents with no success.
2007 The Austrian company canceled the license contract as
commercialization efforts didn‘t succeed and fixed license fee
was considered too high.
13. 2007 A STRATEGY TO REORIENT AND RELAUNCH THE
VENTURE WAS DESIGNED
Objectives of the new strategy:
— To create a success story for potential sponsors and investors
— To embed the venture within major social, business, technology
and/or investor trends
— To demonstrate a tougher business intention
— To create an inspiring mission and vision
— To improve the business idea iteratively on the market
— To let the market drive the technology and product development
— To brand the single technologies and the company
— To use business media as promotion multiplier
14. SEVERAL MONTHS WERE INVESTED TO ITERATE THE
INITIAL TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCT AND BUSINESS IDEAS
— Venture capital consultants
— MFG´s Heidelberger Innovation Forum
— Research and innovation agencies
— Trade exhibitions
— Business plan, innovation and start-up contests
— Potential end users and market channels
— Venture capital companies
15. END 2007 TWO FUNDING POSSIBILITIES TO FINANCE
THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WERE AVAILABLE
— Rich: To sell a controlling stake (50%) to a venture capital company
for at least xx M€ and commit full-time and exclusive dedication
to the venture.
— King: To sign a cooperation agreement with an industrial research
consortium, geared to further develop the technology for mass
anti-counterfeit applications.
16. THE JOINT RESEARCH PROJECT SHOWED TO BE
A GOOD CHOICE DURING THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
— 42 month duration (2008-2011)
— 3,5 million Euro budget
— 50% from industry partners
— 50% non-refundable grant from BMBF
— Free use of the technology for the participants during
the project
— No funds for management team
17. THE RESEARCH PROJECT FOCUSED ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Software for
capturing
devices
Production
Equipment
Applications
and
infrastructure
18. … AND ON THE PROMOTION OF THE ADVANCES AND
RESULTS

21. HOW TO CREATE SUCCESSFUL AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES
FROM ICT RESEARCH RESULTS?
— Technology transfer measures has to exist during the whole research project
— Business ideas need to be validated and improved iteratively on the market
— Entrepreneurial spirits need to be motivated to work with scientists
WHAT ARE THE BOTTLENECKS THAT STOP INNOVATIVE IDEAS FROM
REACHING THE MARKET?
— The business plan is a huge hurdle for scientists and engineers
— Consultants, angel and venture investors, etc. tend to behave as inquisitors
— The entrepreneurs are the ones that risks most in this game
— There is no much support for entrepreneurs that want to create a family business
