Basis for collaboration
Industry
Limited internal investment in basic
research; excel in execution
Innovation imperative: bringing
technologies to market profitably
Require talent to thrive
Insight into industrial relevance
Invest in the factors of production
Require customers with product
understanding
Academia
Push the frontiers of knowledge
Value learning over scale of execution
Educate talent
Seek problems of future importance
Invest in people and advanced research
infrastructure
Teach application of technology tools

Points of Tension
Industry
Short-term, proprietary interest
Desire predictability, execution
Control
Own IP
Academia
Theoretical advances. Publication
Focus on work where the outcome
is not known; prize the unexpected
Academic Freedom
Own IP

Role of an Industrial Mentor
The
key
to adding value through university relationships
•
Cooperatively define programs
of mutual interest
•
Actively contribute
expertise, judgment, knowledge of commercial
technical trends, and experience to the research program
•
Participate.
Spend time on campus. Attend related seminars and
research group meetings.
• Build a circle of
acquaintances
with faculty and students
• Help talented
students seeking employment
•
Assess
research
• Report findings,
motivate use

Best Practices
Build structures to foster collaboration
Build collaborative ties among
students, faculty, and an industrial
partner’s technical staff
Focus on excellent academic work in
areas of industrial relevance
Avoid short-term deliverables and IP
Universities should expect
more
than
money from industrial partners
Cultivate opportunities for partnership;
allow them to emerge!

Principles for Successful Academic Collaborations
Design
• Must advance PI and university
research interests
• Funding enables good work, does not
direct it
• Motivated company participant, able to
travel, with management support.
Show up and make a difference.
• Tech transfer depends on the company
participant, not the PI. IP is usually not
the primary value.
Expectations for Execution
•
•
Efficient administration: payments,
equipment, staffing, etc.
Clear start, good alignment
•
•
•
•
•
•
Diligent progress, assigned resources,
attention to publication
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Open communication, periodic reviews,
annual report, final wrap up.
Adjustments based on learning
Strong results are more important than
schedule
Better results through collaboration,
share the good news

The Newly Emerging Community of Technical Scholars
"consists of universities which have strong
programs in engineering and science, surrounded
by companies emphasizing research and
development, under conditions where there is
continual interaction among all of the components,
some formal, some informal, some organized,
others unorganized. . . . Industry is finding that for
those activities that involve a high level of scientific
and technological creativity, a location in a center
of brains is more important than a location near
markets, raw materials, or factory labor.”
- Frederick Emmons Terman, 1963

Why Silicon Valley?
Innovate:
Make changes in something established,
especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or
products

• Why not Berkeley?
• Labor law. Employment at will. Non-compete agreements.
• Popular acceptance of change. Uber in Paris and San
Francisco.
• Employee owership/stock options
• Complex systems evolve. Look at the origin.
• Employment attitude. Loyalty and contribution.
