IMEC Introduction and History

Human Resources (2002): 1250 (incl. 110 Ph.D. fellowships, 270 visiting scientists and industrial residents)

Close worldwide interaction with industry, universities and research institutes

Partner in a large number of EU and MEDEA+ programs

Founded : January 1984 by the Government of Flanders, Belgium as an independent R&D institute.

IMEC is a non-profit organization with a mission towards European and worldwide collaboration with industry and academia.

Annual budget (2002) : between 135 and 140 Meuro (research grant from local Government is 33.3 Meuro (about 25 % of this budget); the revenue from research contracts is above 100 Meuro.


Mission Statement

IMEC’s Mission Statement

To carry out R&D programs which are 3 to 10 years ahead of today’s industrial needs in

the field of microelectronics, nanotechnology, design methods and

technologies for ICT systems

INVOMEC : Microelectronics training and service programs to Flemish and international academia and industry

Reinforcing of the Flemish industry by stimulating innovation and by supporting the creation of spin-offs


Introduction

Each year, IMEC has to fulfil a number of stringent and ambitious Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) with regard to the interaction and collaboration with its Flemish stakeholders (‘return to Flanders’)

Training : Flemish Universities, Higher Polytechnic Schools, Flemish Industry expressed in number of ‘contact-hours’ (target in 2003 ~5400 contact-hours) (+ of course towards IMEC)

Collaboration with Flemish Industry : Turnover from collaboration with Flemish Companies

(~ >15% of IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) Number of contracts with Flemish SME’s (95 in 2003) Number of new SME’s with whom contracts are concluded

(5 in 2003) Turnover from collaboration with Flemish SME’s (~ 3% of

IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) Creation of new spin-offs (at least 1 per year) Number of contracts with Flemish Universities, Higher

Polytechnic Schools and R&D centers (at least 32)

Collaboration : Technology Platforms

INVOMEC first initiator, later supportive/facilitating Technology platforms based on IMEC technology and know-how

Selection on-going with the Scientific Divisions

Purpose To set up a network/consortia including SME’s, LC, knowledge centers,

universities, federations and IMEC around these platforms

Example : MINT (Microsystems and Nano-technology network) Bring together complementary expertise & know-how, initiate joint projects

Value proposition for the participating partners Partners finding, B2B opportunities Share market know-how, technology evolution Road mapping Collaboration projects (including IMEC as R&D provider)

Advantages for IMEC High visibility One-many relation Flemish “embedding”


MINT, MIcrosystem and NanoTechnology network.

WTCM

Goals:• Forum: regional meeting place, interaction with members and broader• Link: to international actors, to the user of the technology• Second opinion: realistic presentation of the opportunities and possible applications of MST• Stimulate: the end user to integrate MST in products and processes

European Microsystem & Micro-Nano Technology Network

A Microsystem and Nanotechnology platform for all parties over the value chain: Research - technology developers – product suppliers – end users.

Focal Points in Collaboration Strategy

1. Service offering towards Flemish industry Structured thematically and in line with the scientific

research programs

2. Evolution from one-to-one towards one-to-many relationships

Consortia, communities, networks, platforms

3. Buy-in of SME’s through low threshold service offerings (including training)

4. Application, Training and Support (“ADS”) activities is intensified through:

Consolidation of ADS operation The creation of the “ADS” steering group Focus on a selected number of technological topics Intensive collaboration with IMEC’s associated labs


Collaboration with Flemish Companies

Type 1 : Research (3-10 year frame)

Type 2 : Application of IMEC technology

Type 3 : Distribution of know-how/expertise

Type 4 : Support of innovation

ADS

ADS : no ‘core business’ of the scientific divisions set-up of ADS teams that are active within the scientific divisions with support from I&I
