Innovation StrategyStrathclyde's strategy for innovation will achieve economic and societal impact
through:
o Creating and accelerating innovation partnerships with private and public sector
organisations
o Building a Technology and Innovation Zone in the heart of Glasgow, with associated
full-scale R&D centres
o Developing and nurturing innovation talent among our staff, students, alumni, our
partner organisations and the wider community
o Supporting start-ups, spin outs and innovative SMEs
o Forming and leveraging national and international networks to support expertise,
knowledge and investment
o Applying the best innovation practice and policy through our new Innovation
Research Institute
Launched in 2015 by the Scottish Deputy First Minister
• We use a range of partnership models to engage.
• Underlying principles:
– Industry leadership
– Recognize company characteristics, culture and market dynamic
– Trust and confidence in the partnership are vital
• Consider today
– Collaborative Centres: Tiered Membership
– Scottish Innovation Centres
– Scottish Enterprise - Strathclyde Business School OI project
Three different examples of OI
• Increased speed of innovation
requires collaboration – across
the supply chain and with
companies large and small…
• Tiered membership model
recognizes roles for leading large
scale collaborators and
innovative small supply chain
partners
• Financial contributions and IP
rights depend on tier.
• Key examples are AFRC and
CMAC
Tiered Membership
Industry Centres
AFRC Network
Recent announcement for creation of National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland led by Strathclyde for Scottish Government

Scottish Innovation Centres
“…Scottish Innovation Centres will create sustainable and
internationally ambitious open communities of university staff,
research institutes, businesses and others to deliver
economic growth and wider benefits for Scotland”.
Bespoke and appropriate delivery models for each IC but all are
structured to respond and deliver on demand-led priorities.
Each is evolving a different way of engaging with its “problem
owner” base… so no single type of SIC
SFC funding for the IC programme over the initial 5 year period:
• £110M for core/infrastructure;
• capital equipment £14M (2014);
• masters level training £2M p.a.;
• challenge funding (up to £1M in 2015).
Growing an Industrial Biotech sector
• Industry Membership
• Community building
• Global IB Community Engagement
Industry Engagement
• Collaborative Funding Calls
• Industry Challenges
• Open Access Equipment CentresProjects
• Collaborative PhDs
• MSc Industrial Biotechnology
• HND Industrial BiotechnologySkills
Strathclyde is the Hub University for IBioIC
Digital Health Institute
DHI is a public funded organisation hosted by the
University of Strathclyde, with key partner, Glasgow
School of Art
DHI is an Innovation Centre funded by the Scottish
Funding Council, initially over a four year period. The
next phase of funding is currently in the process of
being agreed
Civic Impact, Business Impact and
Academic Impact
The essential elements of the digital health revolution include wireless devices, hardware sensors and software sensing technologies, microprocessors and integrated circuits, the Internet, social networking, mobile/cellular networks and body area networks, Health IT (aka health information technology), genomics, and personal genetic information.
• Government initiated project to encourage an open innovation culture in
Scottish organisations - 2015-2019
• Need to make Scottish Business more innovation active and increase
investment in R&D
• Support adoption of Open Innovation methodologies in 13 cohort
companies based in Scotland - Average of 100 calls over 4 years expected,
with 50% of solutions from Scottish SME base
• Draw upon competencies and technologies in wider Scottish SME network
to support in-bound open innovation
• Foster an open innovation climate in the cohort organisations- 8 cohort
meetings over two years
• Disseminate best practice, understand “What Works”
• Scottish Enterprise has selected companies and supported employment of
OI champions, Strathclyde Business School Innovation Researchers
support OI Practice workshops, interviewing key staff and tracking progress
Scottish Enterprise - SBS
Open Innovation Project
• Open innovation principle: Companies can no longer afford to
rely on their own research in a world market place…cost,
pace, risk mitigation
• Scottish Companies still viewed (in general) as not being
sufficiently innovative…so different starting point to original
US Open Innovation
• Scottish R&D paradox: GERD relatively high, BERD relatively
low… so Scottish Government working to increase Business
investment in R&D
• Cohort companies supported by government for 2 years in
order to implement open innovation practices
– Understanding open innovation practice is still in early
stages
