Vision of A2B Platform

• Unique model of open cooperation with industrial partners dedicated to knowledge exchange, share of experience and common R&D activity answering real industrial partners expectations,

• Tool supporting industrial sector, driving their efficiency and innovation,

• A way to perform research and development activity for societal and economical growth.

Vision of A2B Platform

• Single Point of Contact (SPOC) – specialised know-how, technical

infrastructure, information exchange and financial support,

• Access to the network of R&D practisioners, operating in business,

as well as acedemic area, implementation of good practices,

• Complete knowledge exchange program (trainings, conferences,

seminars), enabling exchange of experience as well as

benchmarking with the best players on the market,

Basic targets of A2B

•Activity enabling an improvement of competitive advantage for the

companies participating in common research work.

•Realistic financial contribution of WCB EIT+,

•Access to specialised information and publications,

Membership Benefits

• Membership agreement gives full access to A2B Platform services,

information and documents and publications,

• The agreement is based on standard business rules of EIT+ approved by

Polish Ministry of Science ,

• Members of the Platform can initiate common R&D projects with EIT+,

area of Life Science and Nanotechnology,

• R&D projects are carried out and funded by partners according to separate

agreement.

Membership Benefits

• Partners share ownership of the Intellectual Property created within the

project according to separate arrangements,

• Results of the project are supposed to be commercialised and introduced

to the market (where possible),

Membership Benefits

Typical ways of IP commercialisation:

• Industrial partner buys full IP rights, i.e. the part belonging to

EIT+,

• Partners create a company to commercialise, market and sell

IP,

• Partners sell IP licence to a third party (customer),

• WCB EIT+ buys full IP rights for further commercialisation.

Examples of projects and materials for cooperation with AeroNet Consortium

Materials that potentially will be the result of research. They may be regarded as a product that we will offer in the market or issue for further research processing (even for applications other than those initially proposed).

Presented topics are mostly issues that have yet to come, but now show the area of interest, in which the potential business partner can be incorporated, for example by extending the research task involving a business partner (co-financing in A2B Forum).
