Start-up Innovation management
Starting a New Venture – why not?
• Why? Because start-ups lack:
o Reputation, systems, processes, management, team
o Huge cost and risky (<-> established companies have resources)
o Why not simply form an alliance (license, joint venture)
Ways to exploit an academic invention
• Via granting a license to a pre-existing company
• Via establishing a start-up company
• Choice depends on:
o The regional environment (e.g. Belgium, Flanders)
o The institutional environment (University, fundamental research)
o The specifics of the invention
• What are your objectives?
o Generate (more) money for your institute
o Translate research into products for benefit of society (e.g. VIB money from
Flemish government)
o Create (regional) industrial activity
o Create (regional) jobs: local stimulation of the economy
o Contribute to (regional) innovation
