Digital Innovations SIG: World Lunch #9

In this webinar Sjaak Brinkkemper presents his vision on entrepreneurship in ecosystems: starting a software company is relatively easy, but continuing the enterprise in a solid and sustainable manner is extremely difficult. He investigates decision making on software production: product roadmapping, product/service duality, customer involvement, productisation, and internationalisation. He also pays attention to the role of the Knowledge Transfer Office in the ecosystem in a very early stage.

Digital Innovations SIG: World Lunch #8

Brechtje Vreenegoor is manager of the KTO Wageningen University and Research. She discussed ‘servitisation’ of open-source models. Numerous models are being valorised in different ways, but it is difficult to advise researchers on what they should do. Why does something work one time and not another? And do we even know what works: how do we determine success?

Digital Innovations SIG: World Lunch #7

A few years ago, the Max Planck Society introduced a partially standardised licensing model for spin-offs. The model includes a 10% stake of Max Planck in the companies and, in some cases, milestone payments or royalties. The model has proved to be successful in most cases. Only in the start-up projects, which are solely based on software code the model was sometimes considered unfair by the founders. The Max Planck Society has since then revised the model for these special technologies again.

Openness, IPR and Technology Transfer

This webinar aims to clarify the differences between “open” practices and policies and to show that openness is not incompatible with IP protection or commercial exploitation. The focus on “open” requirements will be in the context of the EC’s Horizon Europe funding programme, and the implications for TTOs.
