Growing pressures on HEIs from two frontsRole of donors, e.g. Munk School of Global

AffairsEffect change, improve our collective future:

i.a. better governance, better public policies(nurturing innovation, enhancing its positive impacts on society)

“Intelligent“ & autonomous MS, produced in a tailor-made, low-waste and low-cost fashion can be integrated in a broad range of

products in diverse application fields

Communi-cation

… react autonomously and intelligently

… are energy-efficientor -autarkic

Microsystems technologies (MST) could be used in all industrial sectors for intelligent, resource- and energy-efficient solutions. The integration into complex “smart systems” can improve also the function of existing products and processes, or make feasible totally new ones (“more than Moore”).

The application of MS in products, processes and private & public infrastructures will increasingly impact on practically all areas – and all aspects - of our everyday lives.

Key enablers for Digitalisation Strategies


In some regions, MST are already key drivers of innovation, and decisive factors for competitiveness and sustainability.Huge & diverse potential to contribute considerably to address major socio-economic problems of today’s societies, e.g. Health / Nutrition / Ageing Society Mobility Security Environment / Resources Climate / Energy

Harnessing this potential does NOT come automatically, ……


ICT: data management & storage (more than Moore)Digitalisation Industry: “4.0” intelligent production, microprocess technology,

printed electronics, autonomous and energy-autarkic networked sensor systems, micro-nano integration;

Mobility: energy efficient and lower-cost mobility of goods and people, as well as of products, tools & machines inside a factory;

Health & Well-Being: preventive health care, innovative diagnostics, faster drug development, 24/7 mobile monitoring, microsurgery, implantology;

Environment: more energy-efficient, less resource intensive production, products, processes and solutions enabled by energy-autarkic, mobile, easily adaptable MS

(Public and personal) Security .....

Excellence Initiative - structural changes for cutting-edge research at Higher Education Institutions

Internationalisation Strategy for Science & Research High-Tech Strategy 2020

o Assessing R&I support policies and develop new oneso Supporting top-level research on key technologies

focused on lead markets of the future to develop convincing answers to the “Grand Challenges“

► “Spitzen“-Cluster Competition – flagship of the High-Tech Strategy and pillar of the S&R Internationalisation Strategy

Every consortium successful in national Spitzencluster competition gets additional funding (ca 8 million CAD)

R&I and enterprise support programmes Cluster support programmes BW innovation agencies’ support


Practitioners aim for processes to integrate bottom-up local & strategic top-down knowledge with the objective to achieve results, which are more strategic and better informed, more outward looking and linking, more forward-looking and pro-acting, better involving (p&p) stakeholders, prioritising and focusing (p&p) investments on regional strengths & potential in global value chains (GVC) and on fields/niches with a high and diverse growth / market

potential to address societal challenges (e.g. KETs, GPTs).© Dr Günter ClarToronto, 22 Sept 2016

Strong regional base, globally competitive:- 6 % of global MST production,- 15 % of all related patents worldwide- ca. 180.000 employees in 1.500 enterprises

ranging from ‘home-grown’ multinationalsto globally competitive SMEs,

- approx. CA$ 25 billion annual turnover Large, diverse application potential Embedded in the “associational innovation

system” of BW, with its “related variety” andhighly differentiated knowledge &technology transfer and management systems

Enterprises, from large multinationals to a broad diversity of research-intensive SMEs

University institutes, research organizations (public, public-private, private)

“Horizontal” research partners (innovation systems & processes, industrial management, teaching, cultural studies, …. )

Innovation boosting partners along key phases of the value chains

SSI: (small system) integration, e.g. chip-integrated, fuell-cell powered energy, electronic & sensor platform

- standardisation of system integr. to accelerate innovations- self-organising, autonomous, adaptive systems- Wireless, environment-tolerant communication in

embedded systems, with energy transforming, harvestingand storage devices, sensors, etc.

PRONTO: production platform, e.g. micro-cameras, ultra-thin flexible chips, etc.

- producing zero- and small series of complex, hybrid MS- support to SME: prototype development, small series on

platform, transfer to normal production in enterprises- support to larger enterprises: flexible prototype production- support to universities/res. org.: prototypes, spin-offs


10

Aim: enlarge existing & develop new markets worldwidethrough, in addition to the normal SME-support, scaling etc.

International benchmarking

Increasing international visibility and attractiveness

Developing strategic alliances between different actors, consortia, parts of clusters

Deepening and developing new research cooperations

Exchanging staff, training and recruiting technical andscientific personnel from abroad

Approach: integral part of all activities as well as specific actions


A strategy process involving actively a broad spectrum ofpublic and private stakeholders,

o both communicating strategic knowledge from global sources, and integrating actor‐/region‐specific knowledge,

o elaborating on this basis optimised and preferred developmentpaths in/for global value chains – for the cluster & actor groups,

o thus creating synergies AND committment for implementation

reduces the risks of S&T&I investments

o for the participating actors

o and for ‘external‘ investors.
