Be aware that many steps need to be taken to turn

research results into something that can be sold

US "Advanced Technology Programme: a reform with a purpose”http://www.atp.nist.gov/secy_rept/evans_rpt.htm

Many questions need to be addressed:

� What further investments are needed?

� Has the technology been validated?

� Are field trials needed?

� Professionalizing your solution?

� Packaging?

� Making it ready for series production

� cost becomes an issue,

� quality assurance as well.

� Solution Marketing & Advertisement

� Supply Chain, Delivery to End User

� Training

LMS R&D Approach:

Partnering to share risks and competences

� Partnering with different Actors and Stakeholders enables

� Risk, Cost and Competencies sharing

� Building networks and accessing networks

� Partnering happens in different formats

� Informal or formal bilateral cooperation

� With lead “visionary” customer(s) in technology projects

� In an RTD project context (Regional, intergovernmental, EC)

� In business alliances

� Key success factors:

� Clear Win-Win for all involved

� Fitting into the strategies of all partners, with view to build long term relationship from the start

� Professionalism in execution: concrete, deliver upon expectations


2013-09-06


Page 15

LMS R&D Expertise:

� Collaborative research projects as innovation framework

� Partner with key product manufacturers: study the right problem

� The real needs come from our users – validation for market-relevant applications

� e.g. with Airbus, Eurocopter, BMW, Reanult, Toyota, EDF, Atlas Copco, ZF Wind Power

� Partner with (inter)national top-universities: use the best methods

� e.g. KU Leuven, Univ. Liege, PoliTorino, PoliMilano, INSA Lyon, Univ. Bristol, KTH, UTCluj

� Access to top-class research results

� Stimulate research to address areas of relevance

� Bridge from state-of-the-art to state-of-the-use

� Partner complementary technology partners (research institutes + companies)

� IFP, Fraunhofer, ONERA, DLR, EADS, IDIADA, MicrodB, GRAS …

� Some of these are competitors � Coopetition …

� Over 100 partners, active and intensive multi-year cooperation with more than 30

Conclusions

� To build our future our society needs:

� Talented people

� Continuous Innovation

� Internationalization: the world is our source, our medium and our goal

� A key approach hereto is partnering

� And building networks around the globe and across disciplines and actors

� The EC Marie Curie program has been instrumental to LMS since its early days in 1992

� We have a community of Young Engineers in all kinds of positions (student, grant holders, staff…)

� … and many more at our customers and universities worldwide -> a family forever.

Reach out, explore and build your own network – the future is yours
