11 SENAI/SC Itajaí Unit Infrastructure

12 Training on the job in Consulting Lean Manufacturing Material Flow Simulation Warehouse and plant optimization Transport and Distribution optimization Logistic process optimization Port Simulation

14 Tasks of Fraunhofer Venture Initiation/support to institutes during execution of spinoff projects Supplementing and optimizing use of technology Safeguarding general legal conditions Managing Fraunhofer investments Contacts for institutes and headquarters in all matters relating to spinoffs Achieving economic returns: exit revenue, profits, proceeds from licensing, R&D revenue Creating spinoff and investment standards within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Creating a founders' culture within the institutes

15 General conditions for Fraunhofer investments Clear property rights/ expertise situation Contribution of expertise, property rights, infrastructure, etc. Win-win situation for spinoff and Fraunhofer Commercial management skills in the spinoff spinoff with Fraunhofer investment in share capital/ joint stock Market-based assessment (technology + spinoff) Customer benefits/ market requirements/unique advantages Minority share (max. 25 %) Duration of investment max. 10 years exit strategy

16 Groups with an interest in founding a spinoff Win-win situation A bundling of interests brokered by Fraunhofer Venture Fraunhofer Institute Utilization of institute technologies Networks to high-tech companies Investment/exit/license/R&D income Prospects for employees Market expertise Spinoff Sponsoring the spinoff Optimizing the business plan Access to innovations Capital procurement Cooperation arrangements with industry and research Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Promoting Germany as a technology location Creating jobs Innovation transfer Maintaining the Fraunhofer image

17 Number of spinoffs Number of spinoffs created Facts and figures: More than 160 spinoffs created since 1999 Insolvency rate lower than 10% Number of invested-in companies
