  International MOT Project (MOT 8950)
 •Each year, the MOT international project committee in TLI explores possible
 locations. The committee considers options to meet the planned goals of
 “developing an international perspective on management of technology and
 contrasting emerging and established companies, countries, technology,
 foreign-owned versus local, and government versus private sector, among other
 factors, in concert with the Center’s mission,” says Dr. Massoud Amin, TLI
 director.

 •“It also provides an ability to develop a coherent intellectual structure within this
 region/country and an understanding of complex issues in the global
 management of technology. We are constantly in the learning mode, trying to
 find new locations, new sites to visit, and new contacts.”

 •The international MOT project plays an important role in preparing students to
 assume greater leadership responsibilities in the global market and it lays a
 foundation for students to tap throughout their careers.

 •“It gives them an important perspective on the management of technology,”
 says Dr. Amin. “It helps them in a systematic and integrated manner to see and
 investigate the impact of a strategic global vision.”

Name and Title of Briefer:
       Lawrence Stanton, Ph.D.
Key Findings:
       Multidisciplinary organization – genomics, cell biology, pharmacology, human genetics, composition biology
       Government recruits researchers from around the world using incentives
               Aren’t required to teach
               Allotted significant amounts of money to conduct research
       Collaborative mindset
               Collaborative projects with Astar e.g. genome sequencing at the super computing institute
               Know what others are doing
               Engaged in ASEAN for both business and science
       Two small companies currently being spun out of GIS
       Money for research is more widely available through government funding
       Less government regulations; embryonic stem cell research is prevalent
       Labs are set-up very similar to labs in the U.S. and particularly the U of MN
               The labs are set and available for researchers; they just need to come in and do the research
       Challenges
               What distinguishes them from what Universities can do
               How can they do something different to distinguish and value their findings
               Their research is not commercially minded; failure is frowned upon; bridging the gap between R&D and industry is
               difficult
               Too academic
               Information management is a bottleneck; need expertise to perform image and sequence analysis

                                                                                                          March 5, 2010

Exploit Technologies
Description of the Organization’s Mission:
       To support A*STAR in transforming the economy through commercializing R&D
       (marketing and commercialization)
Name and Title of Briefer:
       Ms. Wei Peng Seeto, VP for Corporate Marketing and Communication
Key Findings:
       Singapore’s national technology transfer office (TTO) for Agency for Technology, Science, and Research
       (A*STAR)
       Moving outcomes of 2000 researchers into the marketplace
       Works to connect researchers, industry, government, and investors
       Licensing agreements (Royalties), Start-up Companies (Equity), Business Formation Services (Incubation,
       Consulting)
       Formation of Investor(Angel Investment Management)/ Entrepreneurial Communities
       Gap Fund Capabilities
       Major Takeaway
              On paper the system is ideally resourced in terms of the US comparison
              In reality, innovation, especially the creation of new industry through start-ups takes time. It’s a capability
              that cannot be bought with resources
              Singapore research functions seem to be set up as a natural extension to the MNCs R&D aspirations
              and near term product development. This may slant research important to short-term and applied, vs.
              open and breakthrough. Also, much of the commercialization value to A*STAR may be lost in early
              agreements.
       Outcomes/Implications
              250 Disclosures a year (approximately same as UMN alone)
              Singapore business environment is set up ideally for licensing, and short term industrial innovation.
              Typically adopt a non-exclusive licensing model (1/3rd revenue sharing)


                                                                                                         March 4, 2010

Key Findings:
       For every $1 invested in Vietnam or China it would take $4 in the US to accomplish
       the same
       A big part of their program is sponsoring conferences and network building
       Why invest in Vietnam? Low inertia of legacy technology, inexpensive human
       resources, desire for leap technology, young population, China could become the
       next bio/nano hub (need a contingency)
       The goal is to use software to shorten the development cycle and cost through
       modeling

                                term elderly care
                                – Focus on how to pay does not promote wise
                                choices
                                – No incentive for health care providers to
                                contain costs
                                – Lack of culture for rigorous and transparent

It’s a capability that cannot be bought with resources Singapore research functions seem to be set up as a natural extension to the MNCs R&D aspirations and near term product development. This may slant research important to short-term and applied, vs. open and breakthrough. Also, much of the commercialization value to A*STAR may be lost in early agreements. Outcomes/Implications 250 Disclosures a year (approximately same as UMN alone) Singapore business environment is set up ideally for licensing, and short term industrial innovation. Typically adopt a non-exclusive licensing model (1/3rd revenue sharing) March 4, 2010 www.exploit-tech.com Singapore Copyright © 2010 No part of this presentation may be reproduced in any form without prior authorization.
