Academic Spin-Off Programme

AplusB
  • AplusB funds innovative, technology-oriented
    spin- offs from the academic sector
  • AplusB is increasing the number of academic
    spin- offs
  • AplusB is - in commission of the Austrian
    Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and
    Technology (bmvit) - operated by the FFG /
    Dept. Structural Programmes

10
Why academic spin-offs?
A
B
plus
  • Academia
  • Use and commercialisation
  • of academic research results
  • Business
  • Facilitating structural change -
  • NEW firms are motors for structural
    change
  • Focus on radical innovations

Fostering Science - Industry linkages
Co-operations between spin-offs and their alma
maters are strong, permanent and
research-oriented
11
The Austrian Innovation System
  • Strengths
  • high quality of academic output (publications in
    natural science and engineering)
  • high innovation intensity
  • Weaknesses
  • structural deficiencies, dominance of old
    industries, few high-tech founders
  • innovations concentrate on small improvements
  • IPR ruling at HEI

12
Strategic Goals of AplusB
  • ensuring a sustainable increase in the number of
    academic spin-offs
  • enhancing the quality of these new companies
    (i.e. their technology and knowledge intensity),
    as well as their likelihood to succeed
  • increasing the potential for spin-offs from
    universities, Fachhochschule colleges and
    non-university research institutions
  • enhancing the exploitation of research results by
    business
