1 Orde van den Prince Innovatie en Ondernemerschap Hoe goed zijn we bezig in Europa en Vlaanderen? Dr Martin Hinoul Business Development Manager, Technology Region Leuven Lo, 24 mei 2009

2 The world became Flat Thomas Friedman 60 trillion $ EU - U.S Market Value - GDP EU EU - U.S Asia - BRIC year 0.5 bi 1 bi 2 bi customers

3 Challenges ahead for a world s divided economy Source : The Economist

5 The European Technology Dilemma The European Technology Dilemma The technology gap with China and India (20 yrs) is shrinking every month The technology gap (10 yrs) with the US is still not decreasing

6 Lisbon % of the active population should be employed 3% of the GDP should be spend on R&D And Europe should become the strongest Knowledge economy in the world

7 A nation which depends upon others for its new basic scientific knowledge will be slow in its industrial progress and weak in its competitive position in world trade Science, the endless frontier Vannevar Bush 1945

8 Innovation and Lisbon 2010 New faces It is 5 to 12!

9 The Knowledge Economy Regions are lining up?

10 Old and New Halls of Fame Seattle Pittsburg San Diego

11 Silicon Valley

12 Silicon Valley A complex Network of Clusters Clean Technology Stanford University UCSF - Berkley Silicon Valley Joint Venture Network VC Kleiner Perkins Caulfield NASDAQ Route 101 Route State of mind Nano-electronics Internet Google e-bay Yahoo- Amazon.com Networks Cisco (Bosack,Lerner& Troiano -1984) Software -Oracle Computers Apple - Sun Semiconductors Shockley - Intel Electronics Hewlett Packard - Varian 1939 Stanford Fred Terman

13 Silicon Valley A network and a state of mind (Felix Theeuwes Durect Corporation) A network effect that transcends national boundaries (Wim Roelandts voorzitter Xilinx) Regional centers growing together increasing the overall Pie (Wim Roelandts Xilinx)

21 The Golden Triangle of the UK 2 the only way to compete is to concentrate resources in regions that are strong. Martin Rigby. MD, ET Capital, Cambridge Lecture, 2006 Down the A34 Oxford O2C Arc IP Ally Huge Brainpower Cambridge Along the M11 Stansted and the Herts Pharmas Thames Valley Industry and Commercialisation Global connectivity Some 75% of all VC funds found a home here in 2006 Heathrow Growth Area London: Finance and Global Connections (plus its Universities) The Oxford to Cambridge Arc Inspiring Innovation for Britain

22 Belgium Knowledge economy index Economic incentive regime Education Innovation ICT Source: World Bank Institute

23 The importance of Innovation Innovation is important for economic growth: 50% since World War II 66% in the 90 s 90 % in the 21th century Lisbon 2010: Europe should bring the R&D effort from 2 to 3% A difficult mission ( a shortage of 110 billion Euro and a shortage of scientists and engineers) Finland 3,49% ; Nl 1,94%; UK 1,93%; Fr 2,2; It 1,07; Sp 0,97%; Po 0,65%; Ro 0,39%; Bg 0,47%.US 2,8%

24 Innovation is also changing Faster, Faster, Faster It requires wider collaboration across disciplines and specialties (multidisciplinary) The concept of intellectual property is being reexamined in the light of these collaborative demands It requires a wider collaboration of regions The trend is towards open innovation It requires a triple helix approach

25 The Triple Helix* Is the complex between three actors The Government The Industry The Knowledge Centers * William Baumol : The Free-Market Innovation Machine 2002

26 The Triple Helix is based on: Knowledge creation Knowledge diffusion Knowledge exploitation
