Background and goals
• Tekes – the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation - funded UAS research commercialization in Finland during years 2009 to 2011.
• During the program UAS sector filed over 1700 research commercialization ideas. • The paper introduces the Finnish UAS methods for research commercialization, its
theoretical base and practical aspects and experiences as well.
• The paper studies the process from activation to evaluation and business model development in selected cases.
• Comparisons to university sector in Finland will be made.• The practical part is based on Western Finland UAS consortium’s experiences on
research commercialization. The paper explores both quantitative and qualitative results.

Over 250 Start-ups createdCurrently, the Accelerator creates at least one enterprise each month
Incubator Process, case Satakunta University of Applied Sciences
”Sniffing”
• Searching New Innovations For Firms• Evaluating the business environment of
tomorrow, technology, regulation …
”Spotting”/”Bird-watching”
• Searching Potential Student Entrepreneur Talents
Mentoring
• Agreement on starting and establishing an enterprise or changing the generation
• Constructing a personal study plan • Developing entrepreneurial skills• Developing the business of the company• Creating customer and partner networks
Follow up anddeveloping the process
• R&D operations in SAMK• An entrepreneur survey for students: ”Is
entrepreneurship a part of your life”• Interactive learning methods• Feedback discussions between the mentor
and the student entrepreneur• Evaluation of personal study plan• Business parameters• A follow-up survey: ”Entrepreneurship in action”

Comparison between Universities and UAS
• Universities 1839 cases funded ->135 start-ups (7%)• UAS 875 cases funded, 52 start-ups (6%)• Universities were funded in three phases, UAS in two phases• Similar general results: awareness, culture, process, outcomes• Universities are one step ahead with international start-ups,
technology and knowledge, transfer office collaboration internationally
• Development of UAS sector was fast• Innovation process is combined with the learning process in UAS
