Technological Innovations in support of “Make in India� Thanikachalam.V (vthani2025@gmail.com)
(ID M1134)
Objective To suggest a solution on win-win basis which could provide a platform for institutions for collaborating with industries based on the best global practices
Views of global leaders • Jose Manual Barroso of European Union said “Only if the best brains from academic, industry, SME, Research Institutions, other organizations come together can successfully the huge challenges that we are facing
”
Science and Technology Minister of UK David Will Elle (2013) said “A strong relationship between industries and universities can provide opportunities in local areas�
CEO of Glaxo Smith Kline and Chancellor of the university of Nottingham, UK Sir Andrew Witty said “I believe it is vitally important that the world leading capabilities in our universities and research base are at the heart of both the industrial strategy and local growth strategies and build on areas of local strength.�
Scenario of the 21st Century in India • “Make in India” would lead to planning industrial corridors and hubs • MNCs would establish many companies along the corridors and hubs • There is a need to establish new technical universities and consultancy centers in the industrial corridors and hubs • Government could establish IndustryInstitute- National Labs- Government cooperative Partnership centers in the corridor sand hubs
National Innovation System • Innovation is to be considered as way of creation and commercialization of industry relevant knowledge and diffusion • Creation of industry relevant innovation is based on the funding for the needed research and development • Innovations are protected through patents • National innovation system consists of Research Universities, National labs which are supported by the government for the commercialization of the end products of innovation
Universities and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem • Paul Graham (2006) has stated that “ There are no technology hubs without first rate universities” • Research universities would become an entrepreneurial epicenter • They have to fuel the students entrepreneurial zeal through research • They have to continuously cooperate and collaborate with the companies in developing innovations and break through • They have to focus on cost effective, new technology enabled , pollution free and energy efficient equipment and machines
Well Grown Universities all over the World • • • • • •
Shangai Jieo Tong University (SJTO) Imperial College , London Cal tech, USA ETZ, Zurich, Germany MIT, Boston, USA Cambridge , Oxford, Southampton, UK • University of California, Berkeley, USA • National University of Singapore
Successful Development Process • Alliances with the leaders • Campus for Research Excellence and Technology Enterprise • Industry –Institute –Research Cooperation • Constructing Multi-dimensional Structure of IndustryResearch University Cooperation • Exploring diversified modes of cooperation • Responding to emerging industries with multidisciplinary approach • Technology Transfer Center • Intellectual property office • Advanced Industry Technology Center for early incubation for key technology break through • University Industrial Parks • University owned unit for marketing
Modes of Cooperation • Strategic Alliance • Contract • Focused on Collaborators Technology • Mid to Long-term duration • Key National and Multinational Enterprises • Market application of results • Market transfer of intellectual properties through licenses • Nurturing top talents
Multi-disciplinary Engagement • Enabling subject clusters to cope with industrial demands • Establishing new research centers covering multiple disciplines • Responding to national strategic demands in industry –university research application • Joint centers and programs with industry • Practice bases in industry
Talent Management • Focus on future society • Sustainable economic growth • Global knowledge • Technology Frontier • Well performing team work • Leadership
Japanese Universities • Japanese universities have contributed to the growth of knowledge , patented them and offered to industries through licensing. • In this mode, the Japanese companies have capitalized the new knowledge and captured the world market.
Korean Government’s Sponsored Programs • Established an innovation center for engineering education center. • Funded 50 centers in engineering colleges across Korea in 2007 • Enhanced each universities engineering education programs to meet the needs of the industries in the region • Facilitated a continuing collaboration with the industry and developing relevant educational contents
Industry Sponsored Programs in Korea • Samsung Talent Program • Started in 2006 as Samsung Electronics Information and Communication Track • Started the second phase in 2011 • Supported programs in electrical electronics and communication science, material science and engineering, and mechanical engineering in 14 universities • Graduates are offered internship opportunities and preference in employment
BK 21 Project of Korean Government • Initiated by the Ministry of Education • First Phase : 1999-2006 • Supported US $ 300 million per year to 14 major research universities and 38 other universities • Second Phase :2006-2012 • Supported US $300 million per year to 74 universities • 70% of BK21 funds are used to pay stipends to graduate students • Patent applications increased from 174 to 981 for the period 2000-2004 • Korean engineering graduates contributed greatly to the rapid industrial growth of Korea • Korea is number 1 in ship building, semiconductor memory and display, number 5 in automobile production, and number 6 in steel production in the world.
Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) • In 1980s, founded Venture Companies with KAIST alumni at the center • In 1984, created Technology Business Incubatory (TBI)/ Technology Innovation Center (TIC) • In 1997, The New Technology Start-up Support Center of Science and Technology • In 2002, The New Technology Start-up Center changes its name to the Office of UniversityIndustry Collaboration and Technology Hospital to spearhead difficult and collaborative projects with industry. • In 2007, it was selected as the best start –up incubation center by Association of Asia Business Incubation (AABI)
Silicon Valley, USA • A leading hub and startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and development • Accounts for 33 % of all venture capital investments in the USA • Silicon- based integrated circuit , micro processor, micro computer and other technologies are developed • Stanford University has become an entrepreneurial epicenter
Factors behind Stanford’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem • Risk taking culture • Talented diverse and imaginative students • A Community that gives back to the society • Abundant capital • Government support
Modes of Institutional Development • Planning industry relevant graduate and postgraduate programs • Incubation supporting startups • Campus placements • Creating chairs for industry focused research activities
