IMEC S BUSINESS MODEL HEADLINES
A double integration path: > 240 PhDs at imec Integration of From PhD to industrial resident Integration of the global value chain Combining all major nodes of the value chain at a single site! the technology life cycle > 400 industrial residents at imec Operating in mixed R&D teams (F2F vs virtual!)
Finer resolution of IP landscape needed OPEN INNOVATION Program based approach: -Integration of techno life cycle -Integration of value chain Project-based R&D outsourcing Nice-tohave e.g. PhD research Must-have Technology Platforms Pre-competitive & IP sharing High added value Costly platform development Fast technological evolution Need for early insight & fundamental understanding Need for cost-sharing Mixed research teams & short learning cycles Need for de-risking Crucial for underpinning Core Business Services Core Business No IP sharing Training Transfer & licenses
OPEN INNOVATION: A UNIQUE APPROACH Partner A Unlike a consortium approach Partner E Program IP Partner B Partner D Partner C Imec industrial affiliation program Customized programs based on bilateral contracts

UNIQUE COMBINATION OF STRONG ASSETS
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF STRONG ASSETS UNIQUE R&D INFRASTRUCTURE World s most advanced independent R&D clean room built around latest generation lithography tools (immersion and EUVL). With the combination of a state-of-the-art 300mm clean room and the transition to 450mm, supported by the Flemish government, imec will be able to keep on delivering its partners top notch research on (sub)-10nm devices. Imec also has on-site bio-medical labs and PV R&D and pilot line. Infrastructure is fully owned by and under control of imec management, which allows efficient and effective decision making.
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF STRONG ASSETS GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS World s largest industry commitment to semiconductor research in partnership. Worldwide reach (representing participation from US, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe...)

COMMITTED TO CULTURE OF...
STRONG AND CONTINUING SUPPORT FROM FLEMISH GOVERNMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT In March 2012, the Government of Flanders announced the signature of a new frame agreement with imec. This new agreement follows a very positive evaluation that imec received last year after an in-depth audit by external consultants under the authority of the Government of Flanders and of an analysis of imec s business plan 2012-2016. This evaluation proved imec s top position in its research areas and the fact that imec strenghtened this position during the last five years. According to the evaluation, imec is well positioned to maintain its leading role in the next frame agreement period.
YEARLY KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 2012-2016 KP1: number of peer reviewed publications. KP2: number of regular patent filings. KP3: number of PhD students. KP4: cumulative number of new strategic alliances since 2011. KP5: number of new Flemish companies contacted. KP6: cumulative number of new spin-offs created since 2011. KP7: number of training contact hours outside imec proper.
