Seminar on
Investment Opportunities for GLCs in Enhancing Competitiveness
for ICT Industry, 14 Dec 2004, Equatorial Hotel, Bangi, Selangor
Outline
Raise the level of debate among key stakeholders and influencers
Observations & re-affirmation Mechanisms & related issues University scenario General recommendations
Macro View of National Vision
ICT Research & Production
Malaysia will struggle to be competitive in global market if we do not focus on continually improving domestic capacity in ICT innovation and production.
Without ICT research & production capabilities, we may well lose the capability to be intelligent purchasers of ICT goods, let alone become pioneers of technologies.
Relative Importance of University Research OECD Report :
the role of technology & innovation as drivers of economic growth
the positive impact on productivity growth of strong industry-university links and science-industry collaboration
the contribution of ICT particularly on the service sector
“A New Economy? The changing role of Innovation and Information Technology Growth”, OECD/DSTI, 2000.
Relative Importance of University Research
OECD Report : Research on national and
regional systems of innovation had shown the importance of universities as sources of highly trained manpower and as generators of knowledge
“National Innovation Systems”, OECD/DSTI, 1997: and Local and Regional Systems of Innovation, edited by J. dleaMothe & G. Paquet, Kluwer Academic Pub. 1998

Engines of the US Economy
ICT in Business In the K-economy, ICT is the enabling tool and talented
knowledgeable people sharing business creativity progress ahead of others
The internet has emerged as an increasingly important information channel for computer-literate businesses
Internet firms tend to be particularly well-networked and informed, which gives them a certain advantage over other firms
Internet portals and databases are also becoming increasingly important support delivery channels for university-based start ups.
Technology has a short life-cycle for commercial sustainability, fierce competition in the globalisation era, innovation and product quality, first market entry and low price
Players in ICT R&D Commercialisation
Basic researchers & knowledge creators
Developers, sellers of knowledge-embedded technology
Individual & organizational users of knowledge and tools
Entrepreneurs – building wealth generating platforms
Resource suppliers – financiers, governments, collaborators
All of us are either one, or all simultaneously
Connectivity between Industry & Academia
Commercialization of R&D has not been traditionally a high priority of universities
During the last decade these efforts have been restructured in leading universities
Increased emphasis has been put on connecting R&D capabilities to the commercial strengths and responsibilities of business
Connectivity between Industry & Academia
Efficient transfer of academic knowledge to industry is required due to :
the relative importance of university R&D in the country’s system of innovations;
the increasing amount of industry-funded research done in universities;
the public pressure on universities to show the short-term relevance of their research activities
Government-University-Industry
R & D Projects Collaboration and Sponsorships
Technology Incubation and Spin-Outs
Product Development & Commercialisation of IP
Consultancy & Testing Services Professional Training Programs Curriculum/Modules Development
for Marketable Graduates Alumni/Professional Bodies
Government-University-Industry When the government acts to
champion excellence in R&D and endorse university-industry alliances, the ICT capabilities in our universities benefit both university & industry.
Industry, university and government collaboration would attract outstanding researchers, train graduate students, and develop the technology needed to support and drive a broad range of leading edge initiatives.
Proposed Areas
High performance networks; Advanced simulation and visualisation
software; Data, information, and knowledge repository,
storage, access and synthesis; Software engineering; Computer-supported collaborative work; Data and network security; Social science; Entrepreneurial business networking in the
ICT sector.

Commercialisation committee
Bringing ICT Product to Market Short competitive life span of
ICT products/services. Successful commercialization of
ICT is critically dependent on bringing products to market quickly.
Delay can reduce the useful market life of product and hence reduce the income needed to recover prior investment in R&D.
High Risk“We think that commercialization of university research is very very high risk – high risk for the university and high risk for the companies, and the success very much depends on the type of company and our technologies are 10 to 15 years away. So the companies have to consider the long development time before they take on our projects.”
Katherine Ku, Director of the Office of Technology Transfer, Stanford University
Network Issues & Gaps Lack of entrepreneurship culture among
students and university staff; The public sector provides major portion of
finance; The public sector is unable to develop new &
innovative financing as effectively as the private sector;
Frequent organizational change; Fragmented initiatives; Lack of interaction/cooperation between
universities , Research Institutions and private sector.

Final Remarks
Having a local ICT research & production capacity would enable rapid take-up & deployment of ICTs across the economy.
Important to realise that ICT production & trade play a significant role in driving employment & productivity growth.
Need to create an environment that is globally competitive through world-class R&D in ICT sector.
Develop effective government-university-industry advisory group.
To promote commercialisation, there is a need to make university R&D more visible to private sector and encourage IP guidelines
