1 SESSION 3 What does success look like and how should it be measured - contributions from Fraunhofer Raoul Klingner Director International Business Development Fraunhofer IET London: Savoy Place Oct

2 »Innovation indicator 2012«Intensive competition to improve the innovation position in global marktes 38 indicators of 28 countries are compared in a heuristic concept around economic data including subsystems research, education and society Innovation means innovative companies

3 From a small association to the leading organization for applied research in Europe

4 Fraunhofer s position in der German Innovation System Societal challenge as future markets - being ready for global competition Universities perform excellent scientific research Research cycle RTOs bridge the innovation gap with technological R&D Innovation cycle Innovative companies create new products close cooperation with universities, every Institutes Director is also Professor at this University close cooperation with Max- Planck-Institutes collaboration with international centers of excellence Intensive exchange with society professional R&D services to industry demand driven research combined with scientific excellence autonomy of institutes combined with simple corporate rules working in networks research services for SME as well as industry (~50/50) Research services for high-tech companies (>3,5 % R&D) as well as non R&D- intensive companies (0-3,5%)* Close affiliation with industry through Fraunhofer advisory boards * euqally important factor in national innovation avtivity; see O. Som (Fraunhofer ISI): Innovation without R&D, Springer 2012

5 The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Main locations of the Fraunhofer Institutes and Research Institutions in Germany 60 Institutes more than 20,000 employees dezentralied organisation due to close afiliation with uniersities 30% base funding, 70%»contract research«

6 Financial Structure of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ( , in million)

7 Contract Research ( , in million)

8 the best measurement for impact is if industry is contracting you at full cost calculation

9 Performance based distribution of funding Target Figures in 2012: million Allocation criteria for institutional funding Basic funding for a Fraunhofer Institute Basic 1: Fixed amount Basic 2: Size of the operating budget basic 3: Share of industry revenues basic 4: Share of EU revenues basic 2 = 12% of budget basic 3 = 10% respectively 40% of industry revenues basic 1 = fixed amount 0,6 million % Rho Wi Rho EU

10 Distribution of institutional funding Right balance between competition and cooperation among Institutes Mechanism of distribution of institutional funding fosters speed, agility and competition among Fraunhofer Institutes Corporate programs foster cooperation among Fraunhofer Institutes to leverage synergistic competencies and network potential demand demand

11 next to being contracted by industry success means also being good at winning public money, attracting the best people and being scientifically excellent anyway

12 Best people Fourth place for Fraunhofer in the ranking of employers first place second place third place fourth place Source: Universum Communications, May 2011 fifth place

13 Best teams DEUTSCHER UMWELTPREIS 2010 for pionieering laser technology of the Fraunhofer Spin-off cleanlaser Edwin Büchter (left) und Dr. Winfried Barkhausen (right) Andreas Herrmann/cleanLASER Deutscher Umweltpreis 2010 of the federal foundation environment (DBU) for the founders of the Fraunhofer Spin-off cleanlaser GmbH, Dr. Winfried Barkhausen and Edwin Büchter. cleanlaser GmbH is a Spin-off company of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen.
