• Context: innovation theory/policy
• Who: relevant actors
• What: set of complementary instruments
• How: structures and bodies
• How much: the financial balance
• Market failure: a one stop shop for resources
• System failure: an info desk and PR&Comm WG
• All in all: conclusion
• What’s next: a new joint programme ?

• HLT enables communication in the knowledge society
• deploying R&D HLT results in products or services and achieving a competitive advantage (to increase a company’s profits)
• innovation system approach:– various types of autonomous but interdependent actors – market failure
• industry doesn’t invest (costs are too high compared to potential income)
– system failure• insufficient knowledge exchange
(not enough technology transfer from university to industry)
government steps intriple helix: interplay of academia, industry and government

• NTU = intergovernmental policy organisation for matters related to Dutch– language of 21 million people– structural funding by depts. of (mainly) education and culture – pragmatic approach to language policy: emphasis on language
user– ultimate goal: all language users of Dutch have to be able to
use their own language in all situations
• Flemish & Dutch governments agreed to improve / secure position of Dutch– programmatoric funding by depts. of economy and science– set up a common platform between administrations– goal: stimulate technology sector (academia and industry) to
develop HLT resources for Dutch and integrate Dutch in ICT <-> the (electronic) Gütenberg effect

• STEVIN (11,4 M€: 2005 - 2011) – jointly funded by the Netherlands (7,6 M€) &
Flanders (3,8 M€) [www.stevin-tst.org]– coordinated by the NTU
• common pot funding scheme• joint submission, evaluation, monitoring and acceptation
procedures
– R&D program to • promote strategic research and develop essential
resources for Dutch that are missing• raise awareness of HLT results and stimulate the demand
of HLT for Dutch products• support the maintenance and distribution of HLT
resources

• Results of the STEVIN R&D projects– ownership goes in principle to the NTU– open source agreements are allowed
• liveliness of the community of developers• always some formal link with the HLT Agency
• Pricing policy for HLT Agency products – in line with basic idea of open innovation:
• joint development of new knowledge (co-competition)• diffusion of knowledge
– Pricing Committee recommendations • free for non for profit use (except handling costs ?)• easy entry but fair price for for profit use (which ?)• lump sum (but also allow royalties ?)

• mere availability of HLT for Dutch resources is not enough
• create awareness of added value and potential
• HLT info desk is complemented by PR&Comm WG– develop common branding (“HLTD inside” label) and PR
initiatives, while acknowledging all funding partners– stimulate creation of networks and clusters of related
technology companies around HLT as enabling technology
– collaborate more closely with HLT Agency– make use of other (inter)national government
structures

• successful R&D programme STEVIN:– creation of a transnational research community– connecting companies with research groups– creating a BLARK (and more) for Dutch– stimulating industry
• established HLT Agency– taking in and distributing STEVIN results (and other resources)– offering help desk services– managing IPR– supported by pricing committee to advise with exploitation of results
• expanding HLT info desk– near monthly e-news letter (has become a reference)– web site with overview relevant Flemish and Dutch HLT actors– assisted by overall PR&Comm WG– co-organising events (“Language@Work” industrial HLT for Dutch
fair)
There is always room for improvement

- evidence based policy making- scientific evaluation- economic impact assessment
- some ideas- horizontal innovation
- involve other dept. – e.g., healthcare, labour, …- societal relevance – e.g., comfort for ageing people
- innovative procurement- government as launching customer
- e.g., government buys HLT solutions for language tests on immigrants
- organise technology forecast exercise / stakeholders meetings- many relevant actors/organisations are involved- gives weight to outcomes/recommendations- results in an industry demand driven technology roadmap
- institutional challenge: align policies/instruments of Dutch and Flemish government organisations
