Total Entrepreneurial Activity (GEM)
Michael Porter’s three phase model
Step I
Factor driven economy
-Basic institutions-Physical infrastructure-Macroeconomic stability-Health and basic education
Step II
Efficiency driven economy
-Higher education-Efficient production -Labor market flexibel-Financial markets
operational-Health and basic education-Technology curiosity-International openess
Step III
Innovation driven economy
-Entrepreneurial-Global-(Open) innovation
China / India …. Western Europe
What to do ?
-Invest in ‘spear heads’ for innovation- ICT and health (e-health system for every citizen)- Translational biomedical research (integrate nano-bio-clinical-pharma)- Materials- Environment (smart grids) - Transport, Mobility, Logistics
- Increase DIMersity in talent (Diversity, Internationalization, Mobility) - Increase investments in higher education - Increase interaction between universities and future employers- Increase inter-, cross- and multidisciplinarity - STEM SELLS !

De accurate, adequate en efficiënte begeleiding en ondersteuning van de decentrale werking van de onderzoeksgemeenschap aan de K.U.Leuven en haar Associatie bij de commerciële exploitatie en de financiële rendabilisering van hun eigen vermogen opgebouwd door hun onderzoeksactiviteiten.
LRD Mission Statement
Three modes of operation; ‘Business development’
Push mode: - Start from potential in research groups- Researcher = source, inspiration, inventor - Contracts, licenses, consortia, spin-offs - LRD = support, negociator, ‘consiglieri’ - Numerous cases
Pull mode: - Reveal external opportunities to research groups - (Government initiated) consortia, incubators, science parks- LRD = takes initiatives, organization, coordination, architect - Examples: bio-incubator (VIB), science parks Arenberg, Tienen,…
ELAt, IMI-platform,….
Create mode: - Create synergy via tech transfer (‘valorisation’) platforms- Tech transfer platforms, new research initiatives, acquiring/providing funding- Examples: CD3, NERF (KUL-VIB-IMEC), Gemma Frisius, MRC, IBBT departments
