Research and investment funding are essential for innovation
Feeding the pipeline for innovation and entrepreneurship at all stages
Government as a facilitator and stimulant is equally important
Changing culture and behaviour through policy and programmes
Stimulating interactions between industry and academic
Creating spaces and infrastructure to enable innovation
Partnering with other members of the local ecosystems to generate solutions

Phase 1
The Old Days
A number of small scale interactions
between industry and researchers
Research just got funded somehow,
anyway, by government?
Occasional interactions with
industry, ex-students
A handful of formalised Industry-
University collaborations
TTOs did not exist
Industry-liaison offices supported
funding arrangements, academic
consulting, licensing etc

Phase 2
– The He Da s….. Birth of the TTO
Greater awareness of the value of IP
Growing interest by industry
High profile failures of universities to
capture value from their IP
Introduction of Bayh-Dole act in the US
TTOs played an increasing role in most,
but not all, University-Industry
interactions
TTOs grew is size and learned what to
count
Governments provided grants to
support TTOs
Increasing interactions with industry,
technology companies, 2-way flows.

TTOs matured , developed more

processes
Agreement upon two main objectives
Transfer technology to industry in
order to create better
products/services for society
Generate a financial return for the

many struggle.

Role of TTOs starts to expand

Further financial pressures ensued
TTOs asked to provide more time
