"One of the biggest challenges in medicine and science today is how to interpret the vast amount of biological data we are generating... To make these data interpretable and clinically actionable will require new computational tools.”

Improving ROI from biomedical research forces radical changes Biomedical research consumed a disproportional amount of investment

• Many concepts in discussion, some actually request paradoxically even more funding

• All current initiatives & concepts must be considered as experiments themselves, none is validated

• Most reflect the legitimate bias of the developers, related lobbies, regional and/or political interests

• None are based on specific analyses and expertise on economic, sociologic and scientific aspects

• No model has an optimal product centric focus with scientific leadership and cost effectiveness/ROI

• Post hoc analysis of “success” or “failure” have an intrinsic bias; compare The Black Swan N.N. Taleb

The quest for the holy grail in value creation:

“Science Business”, Gari P. Pisano, Harvard Business School Press, 2007

Can Science be a business? It would appear that the answer, based on the experience to date would be no. This answer is, however, only correct, if we take existing organizational and institutional arrangements and existing management technologies as given.

Symbiotic Innovation: Reshaping value creation in biomedical R&D

Academia cannot replace early stage R&D but must establish essential fundaments.

Lessons from biotech should guide the creation of novel anatomies.

InnVentis The routes and development of Symbiotic Innovation: Disruptive innovation at the convergence of technologies creates new principles

Symbiotic Innovation evolves from:

• A disput between hands on experience versus published theories and academic setting

• The analysis of contemporary literature (app 300 publications on value generation etc.)

• www-based reviews and discussions on optimized value creation concepts

• Incorporation of the expertise of opinion leaders in economic and biomedical sciences

• Interviews within pharmaceutical companies

• Personal entrepreneurial experiences with a virtual company over 10 years

• Learnings @deep innovation, frm Mannesmann/Vodafone pilot development

InnVentis Symbiotic Innovation: Reshaping value creation

Current financing and business concepts fail to catch optimized

value from omics and Big-Data analysis

Our proposal:

• Vertically integrated flagships headed by experienced task forces

• Organic platform R&D hubs with advanced big data knowledge

• A solution (product of service) centric flagship

• Optimal sourcing of competence and technologies as needed

• Create incentives for long term symbiotic collaborations

• Find partners opportunistically; compare InnoCentive/Nature vision

Symbiotic Innovation: Facilitating CRO business model Establishing a culture of symbiotic sharing of sources and success

Management spends disproportional time/money to identify and negotiate collaboration deals with an academic leaders and the relevant technology transfer offices or biotech/pharma partners

Discussion on fictive values are waste of time before completing a PoC or Phase II

Neither scientific leadership, nor optimal motivation or critical assessment of the project are secured in consulting, collaboration or “simple” MTT agreements

Single technology CRO deals usually create suboptimal value and knowledge

Knowledge is dispersed and not part of a growing proprietary competence hub

Discovery platform companies face a conflict in resource/financing allocation between the discovery platform and more mature product opportunities

Optimized value growth requires complex technologies along the value chain and collective learning difficult to establish within one single company without a concise focus

Emerging discovery technologies show significant deficits in reliability and validity due to a lack of standardized procedures for sample collection and processing of both, sample and data.

A wasteful, inefficient process costing time, resources and energy

InnVentis Open Innovation versus Symbiotic Innovation: Symbiotic Innovation creates Spin-off opportunities for further development

Open Innovation: Innovations are absporbed for internal development to commericalization, Interal innovations are outsourced for external value creation

Symbiotic Innovation; SI is serving research-intensive industries to create innovation externally for internal absorption to scale in a mature stage. Promising ideas are developed in mangend organic networks with competence building and horizontal value chains Spillover high-risk project will be subject to spin-off VC/NGO financing

InnVentis Implementing Symbiotic Innovation A project’s specific tasks are posted on the web to attract scientific leaders

• Project specific teams, will orchestrate the virtual R&D process securing quality control

• Technology leaders to become part of a value chain and the ROI by participating in the project

• Participation anticipates acceptance of a master-contract a priori, which eliminates endless negotiations

• Why should the pharmaceutical industry

provide funding and resources?

Incentive & Motivation:

• Early access to innovation

• Diversified risk, decreased costs

• Quality control, absorptive science

• Optimized use of resources & time

• It makes sense

Academic institutions

• What is the incentive for scientists to

engage in these kind of projects

• Why should tech-transfer accept master-
