Presentacion MIT COEPA CGCE
The document discusses MIT's relationships with industry through research funding and partnerships. It provides statistics on industry-sponsored research funding at MIT, which totaled $100.3 million or 16% of MIT's total research funding in FY2008. The document also outlines several programs that facilitate collaboration between MIT and industry, such as the Industrial Liaison Program, the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, and MIT's Technology Licensing Office. It discusses how these programs help transfer MIT technologies and ideas to the commercial sector.

- 2. Why Industry Comesto Academia • Expose management to leading-edge thinking, technology • Gain insight from internationally-recognized experts • Strengthen strategic decision-making: – development of new products and processes – implementation of innovative management practices – achievement of effective growth strategies – New market and social ideas • Create research synergies • Recruit future company leaders • Maintain Technological awareness 2

- 5. Solving Real-World Problems • MIT Industry Alliances – Amgen, Merck, Ford Motor Company, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, Merrill Lynch, DuPont, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard • 708 companies provided R&D/gift support in FY 2008 – 30 companies funded $1M+ – 158 companies funded $100K - $1M Source: OCR FY08 Industry Support 5

- 8. Research Sponsorship • Manymechanisms and models exist • Typically support ongoing investigations by individual faculty or groups of faculty • excellent leverage of corporate R&D funds • Examples of sponsorship options available at MIT single company (higher cost but more exclusivity) multi-company (leverage costs and share results) Small group of companies with common interests band together with faculty to develop a focused collaboration on a narrow topic, outside a consortium model Organized like single-sponsor projects, through participants’ or faculty members’ own networks consortia and collegia (multi-sponsored shared arrangements) 8
- 9. Consortia • Bring multiplecompanies together to sponsor research in a field of inquiry • Examples at MIT: – closed consortia fixed number of members define and share all research and administrative expenses and share all pre-publication results and licensing opportunities example: Consortium for Advancement of Manufacturing in Pharmaceuticals (8 companies) – open consortia open membership current members pay annual fee and share all pre-publication results and licensing opportunities, with right to sponsor additional projects example: Media Laboratory (>100 companies) 9
- 10. Confidentiality in University/IndustryRelationships • NDA’s – Single Faculty or University – Normal Protocols – Caution on Both Sides – Short term – Specific and event driven. • Research Publication – Essential to Faculty/Mission of University – Review Period for Sponsor Prior to Publication 10
- 11. Exchanging Personnel • Usually arranged as part of sponsored research • Company sponsors a senior scientist to participate in the research at the university as a “visiting fellow” • Allows company scientist: – to participate directly in the research to enhance transfer of learning back to the company – to participate in other university activities and develop a broad network at the university • Provides a prestigious benefit to top corporate researchers 11
- 12. Consulting • Most faculty seek private consulting relationships with industry – at MIT: 20% of faculty time for consulting – helps faculty be aware of real-world challenges – helps keep research current, meeting needs – broadens faculty professional networks – helps develop placement opportunities for students and graduates 12
- 13. Consulting • Benefits for companies: – brings in valuable outside expertise to solve current, short- and long-term problems – helps broaden corporate vision for planning – allows company to protect confidentiality and ownership of intellectual property – usually negotiated as personal services contracts with individual faculty 13
- 14. The Environment • Venture capital firms, investment bankers, law firms and others. • Collaborative Science- Across disciplines Across institutions Across borders • Most research intensive area in the country (6% of state product) “Academic research is especially effective as an engine of economic growth in the Boston area precisely because it takes place not in an ivory tower, but in a complex network of relationships among universities, hospitals, other affiliated institutions, corporations and Entrepreneurs” Appleseed Report 14
- 15. Culture • MIT culturesupports innovation • Organizational boundaries are very permeable • Intra/inter linkages easy to form and numerous • Environment forces random interactions • Cost of failure is low • Entrepreneurship is holographic at M.I.T. 15

- 18. What is theIndustrial Liaison Program? • The ILP is industry’s chief gateway and guide to MIT. COMPANY Company ILP ILP • Provides expert counsel on building productive partnerships • Develops customized, cost effective programs – assess, address strategic research needs – facilitate faculty, researcher interactions – monitor emerging technologies and innovative management practices 18
- 19. ILP Facts • Founded in 1948 • Largest program of its kind in the world • Worldwide industry membership – 33% N. America, 33% Asia, 30% Europe, 4% Other – broad range of industrial sectors, both traditional and high-tech • 20 Industrial Liaison Officers* – average 15 years of industry experience – most with advanced degrees *as of January 23, 2008 19

- 25. TLO’s Mission Bring about commercial investment to develop inventions from MIT research –To bring therapies and other products into public use –To show the public, Congress, and funding agencies tangible results of basic research –To allow faculty and students to see real- world results of their research –For economic development—in Massachusetts and nationally Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO 25
- 26. Technology Licensing OfficeStatistics • 500 new invention disclosures/year • 100 new technology licenses/year • 15-30 new companies/year • Over 650 active licenses • About 300 spinout companies total Spinouts particularly important for “Break-through” technologies – Investments are large – Time-to-market long – Risk of success very high – Large, existing companies reluctant (or unable) to invest at such an early stage Effect on earnings Disruptive to their own R&D agendas – But ready to buy products/company at substantial price when spin-out reduces risk and time-to-market Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO 26
- 27. MIT’s Patent andLicensing Goals • See that ideas are practiced broadly • Maximize benefits to general society • Enhance the educational process • Create companies and jobs • Provide funds to patent future ideas • Provide modest income to MIT Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO 27
- 28. The Tech TransferBargain • University research leads to patent—but technology is unproven and high risk • University is willing to grant exclusive patent license to Company who will commit to the risk of developing the technology • If development succeeds, the patent protects the Company from competitors • University benefits from product being developed and from royalties (shared with inventor) Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO 28
- 29. Strategy: do alot! The Volume Strategy • Aim to maximize the number of technologies being developed – Rather than try to pick a few “winners” and concentrate on them • 100 license/year—20-30 startups Why are we able to do so much? • LOTS of world-class technology—dependent on government support of basic research • Good IP protection • Consistent Tech Transfer policies throughout the university – It’s about Impact, not (primarily) Income • An experienced Technology Licensing Office Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO 29
- 30. Advantages of the“Volume Strategy” • Maximizes participation of faculty and students in the technology transfer process • Maximizes number of technologies invested in by companies and VC’s • Maximizes probability of hitting a home run • Technology is probably too early to be able to pick the winners!
