39 Process of articulating impact section Starting point: the academic research within a proposal Considering the full range of potential applications (in all four domains) Identifying the current status of the research within the societal impact value cycle Assessment of methods necessary to address the full range of potential applications

40 3. IP Strategies in Specific Industries Based on an interactive approach, different industry-specific IP strategies are identified and a decision framework is developed to establish an optimal route for IP protection. The main focus for determining such an optimal route for IP protection is: maximum dissemination while taking into account maximum exploitation opportunities of research results. We will consider the full scope of IP possibilities (from patents to trademarks to copyrights), therefore this analysis is relevant in the exploitation of results from all fields of science and knowledge production. Deliverables An IP decision framework for a specific industry or field. Weenen, T. C., Jentink, A., Pronker, E. S., Commandeur, H. R., & Claassen, E. (2013).

44 1. Charting Technology Field An overview of the technology and innovation field is vital in understanding the current state-of-art and ways in which research results are developed into innovations. In this work package the technology field is charted by analysing activities in 3-4 domains: Knowledge in literature Products in development Registered IP Products on the Market Weenen, T. C., Ramezanpour, B., Pronker, E. S., Commandeur, H., & Claassen, E. (2013). Food-Pharma Convergence in Medical Nutrition Best of Both Worlds? Plos One, 8(12), e doi: /journal.pone Ramezanpour et al., forthcoming

45 1. Charting Technology Field 1.Literature 2. Intellectual Property 3. Products in development 4. Products on the market Input A systematic review of relevant literature in collaboration with the (scientific) experts. Based on a proprietary method, we analyze patents to identify trends and developments within specific technology fields. With this method we determine opportunities and potential challenges. In fields that require clinical trials, a complete overview of products in development is generated. By analysing marketed products (in pharmaceutical fields: approved and registered), an overview is generated of known market opportunities. Deliverable An overview of the most recent (technological) developments An overview of the commercially most promising (technological) developments An analysis of industry level development trends

46 2. Barriers to Innovation For a specific innovation to reach the market, a number of barriers have to be overcome. Research has shown that focusing on the most important barriers is the most efficient and effective way to reach innovation. In order to aid in this process, we have developed a proprietary model of analysis to identify and prioritize innovation barriers. This model can be applied in different fields of science and technology, but also to barriers regarding the impact of innovation in society. Deliverables Identification and in-depth understanding of innovation barriers Relative prioritization of innovation barriers Strategy to overcome innovation barriers Weenen, T. C., Pronker, E.

48 5. Cost-effectiveness Analysis for Innovations Cost-effectiveness of innovations is a vital condition to ensure that an innovation is adapted by multi-stakeholder systems. A timely analysis of cost-effectiveness is therefore an important step in any innovation chain. The benefits of such an analysis may differ for different stakeholders: Government Hospital Industry reimbursement decisions; pricing decisions clinical guidelines, reimbursement positioning and marketing purposes, R&D decisions Health care providers Health insurers Doctors Patients good access to innovations for their clients, affordability and reimbursement strategies use of innovations access to innovations Patient / Customer Payer Deliverable: An early insight in cost-effectiveness and corresponding chances of successful implementation of innovations

49 5. Cost-effectiveness Analysis for Innovations New treatment strategies or interventions Analysis of: Cost-of-illness and (micro-) costing Economic evaluation Early-HTA Late-phase studies and real-world evidence Patient registries Meta-analysis Decision-analytic modeling Value of information analysis Multi-criteria decision analysis Reimbursement policy analysis Health status and patientreported outcomes Preference measurement Broad societal benefits Cost-effectiveness Blommestein, H.

50 8. Team Analysis Especially during longer term research and innovation projects the demands on knowledge, expertise and steering capacity of the management team of the project are expanding and changing along the way. Which roles and expertise are needed during each phase (also keeping the fundability of the project in mind) and what is already covered by the current candidates? Which additional capacities are needed, and how can these best be obtained (training, advisors, additional recruitment) during the consecutive phases. Deliverables: Analysis of phases of development, and needs during these phases Analysis of current team members, and their future potential Advise on team building

51 8. Team Analysis Analysis of skills in current team Analysis of needs during phases

52 9. Business Model Development Results from our analyses can be integrated with existing data from the client and used for the development of a fundable business model This business model may also include potential exit-strategies considering competitor activities and the M&A landscape. Deliverables: An inclusive, acceptable, effective and fundable business model Business Model Foundry 2014 Pronker, E. S., Claassen, E., & Osterhaus, A. D. M. E. (2012).

53 10. Competitive Analysis A thorough competitive analysis reveals market opportunities, collaboration opportunities, niches and saturated markets. In order to fully understand the competitive landscape, 3 routes complement each other. 1. Product-specific competition analysis Based on the analysis of existing products in development and products on the market, we develop an overview of competitors that are already active in the target market. Deliverables A list of relevant product developers/manufacturers. Insight in products in different geographical areas Insight in product approval status in different geographical areas Ramezanpour et al, forthcoming

54 10. Competitive Analysis 2. Technology-based competition analysis This analysis generates an overview of patent applicants in the field and thereby a list of potential competitors. Based on patent data, we compile a comprehensive list of all industries active in a specific technological field and their innovation focus. Deliverables A list of relevant patent (application) holders and their innovation focus Insight in patents in different geographical areas Insight in protection status in different geographical areas Weenen, T. C., Pronker, E. S., Commandeur, H. R., & Claassen, E. (2013). Patenting in the European medical nutrition industry: Trends, opportunities and strategies. PharmaNutrition, 1(1), doi: /j.phanu Ramezanpour et al, forthcoming

55 10. Competitive Analysis 3. Inter-firm cooperation analysis Both relevant patent applicant holders that are revealed by the patent analysis and relevant product developers can subsequently be subject to analysis of inter-firm cooperation. This entails mapping specific types of strategic alliances (e.g. joint ventures, license deals, outsourcing, collaborative R&D), but also M&A deals, amongst relevant patent applicant holders. Results from this analysis can be interesting in determining potential partners as well as exit-strategies. Deliverables An overview for specific types of inter-firm relationships/alliances An overview of the industry s M&A landscape Alliances Mergers & Acquisitions Joint Ventures Collaborative R&D License deals Outsourcing Marketing / distribution Minority equity investments Majority equity investments Mergers Fernald et al., forthcoming
