Topics

Linkage Between University and Industry: STP Development Context

One of the most important factors for developing STP is linkage between university and

industry. University is a source of human capital that has knowledge to support

industries for developing their products. Therefore, it is important to make linkage

between university and industry. The way to linkage is integrating curriculum and all the

activities in universities with the needs of industry, without neglecting the vision and

mission of its university. This session will discuss experiences and lessons learned from

integrating the needs of industry into the university’s activities, the role of a university in

the context of the STP environment, etc.

The Link and Match of Universities and STPs

A science and technology park (STP) has two main objectives. The first is to act as a

catalyst for regional economic development, while the second relates to facilitating the

creation and development of new technology-based companies and knowledge transfer

from universities to industries. Hence, universities have important role in STPs.

Universities are suppliers of human resources, ideas, and technology for the support

and development of industrial product in STPs. This session will discuss how university

plays a role in STP, how university could provide technology that can be

commercialized and support industry in STP, etc.

Developing business incubator at university for student entrepreneurship

In this era, university should pay attention to the needs of industry. University should not

only teach but also develop products that can be used by industry or community. To

support this, university needs to develop the business incubator. Existing students or

alumni can utilize the incubator, which can help them enter the world and make

interaction with industry and business. After completing their study, they would be

equipped with necessary skills to contribute to the innovation and creation of new

businesses. This forum will discuss about how to set up university business incubator,

sharing experience working with business incubator, etc.

with Academia and Industries: A case study of Bloomfield College

Peter K. Jeong

Vice President for Global Programs and Professional Studies

Bloomfield College

Bloomfield, New Jersey, the United States

Since its formation in 1996, the office of International Training and Professional Studies

(ITPS) at Bloomfield College in New Jersey, located minutes from Manhattan which is

the heart of the world of business, culture, education and fashion, has been serving all

ages in the United States and overseas, from programs for life-long learning and

professional development to advanced academic programs to develop competitive

skilled workforce. ITPS has educated more than 10,000 people from around the world

from high school students, college students to corporate employees.

ITPS has been developed a great deal of international programs through partnerships

with more than 300 global academia, government, and businesses in more than 30

countries. The domestic programs focus on skillful workforce trainings for career

changers and corporate employee trainings with latest trends of the industries. ITPS

has developed its curricula to integrate the needs of industries timely matter. The

international programs in various areas of technology, science, business, education,

health care, and hospitality have generated many essential global workforce

developments around the world.

Depending on the workforce demands of each country, ITPS has uniquely implemented

successful practical global programs using available resources in the United States and

the partner countries. The pivotal element of the success of global partnership is close

relationship among academia, government, and corporations. The ultimate goal of the

partnership is to produce abundant skillful workforce to businesses/industries to

stimulus global economy rigorously.

In the speech, I’d like to show the types of partnership programs I have developed, the

importance of producing high quality global workforce, and how all partnership parties

work together. The key role of U.S. academia on local and global partnership programs

is addressed. The emphasis of international workforce exchange and knowledge

transfer among countries and show the mutual benefits of cooperative programs among

Linkage between university and industry: STP development context

Marta Losada, President, Antonio Nariño University, COLOMBIA

Colombia is a developing country ranked as one of the CIVETS, because of the diversity and

dynamics of their economies (a group including Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South

Africa, too). Ranked as 29th in the world according to the population (48.2 million in 2015) and

26th according to the territory (2,070,408 km²). Lands and seas are plentiful of resources like

water, coal, emeralds, O&G, but mainly its biodiversity (1st one in the globe in live species by

square meter).

Almost two decades ago, some of the Colombian leaders identified the importance of the Triple

Helix relationships for the strengthening of the economic and social development of the

community. Consequently, some interaction spaces including actors from the academy, industry

and government, emerged. A quick evolution of such kind of initiatives conducted to the

establishment of the first U-I-G committees, in some of the regions of the Country: Medellin (and

the province of Antioquia) in the North-West, Bogota (and the province of Cundinamarca) in the

Central part, Bucaramanga (and the province of Santander) in the North-East, and Cali (and the

province of Valle del Cauca) in the South-West. Then, other committees were created and, at

the end of the first decade of this century, 11 regional committees were identified as active and

developing different kinds of activities.

The Antonio Nariño University – UAN, with branches in 26 cities across the Country, has been

convinced of the importance of the 3-H interaction for regional development and, consequently

the national development as a whole. This is the reason of its integration to the dynamics of the

most of the above mentioned committees. One of the most important one is named Connect-

Bogota-Region. UAN is member of its Executive Committee, and it is strongly engaged in

several activities looking to incorporate the City Region in the context of an economy based on

knowledge. It currently includes 23 academic institutions and 36 companies, and the support of

some government agencies. Some of the activities developed and oriented to accelerate

innovation include fairs, calls for challenges, support for entrepreneurial expectancies, meeting

points, and so on. As a result there are some fundamental conclusion including the

improvement on trust as essential part of such kind of relationships, and the identification of

time as a basic factor for the development of long time relationships. In addition, until now, a

sum of efforts resulting from a very asymmetric contribution: huge from universities, moderate

form industry, and scarce from the government. On the other hand, some of the conclusions

from the UAN point of view are connected to new responsibilities that must be attended,

including skills on management of technology transfer, intellectual property, and licensing,

entrepreneurship fostering, technology assessment, and spinoffs handling.

Specific answer from UAN to the identified challenges includes:

Curricula renewal: including subjects as soft competences, new classroom interactions,

crossed electives, and underlining of integrative projects like the final one.

The 9th


11

Research groups: devoted to knowledge generation and appropriation, knowledge flow,

publications, and education of the new generation of researchers.

ToT Office: Developing activities like assessment of technologies, proof of concepts, IP rules,

liaison between parties, market surveys, dissemination of research finding, licensing, research

contracts, and commercialization of technologies.

Extension Office: In charge of lifelong learning, consultancy, audit, and laboratory services.

Entrepreneurship Office: Responsible for duties concerning to incubation, firm-formation,

entrepreneurship education, fund searching, biz training, spinoffs, and relational capital.

Specialized post-graduate programs: Including a M.Sc. in Innovation, and doctoral programs

on Applied Science and Engineering.

Finally, looking to integrate all the above initiatives, UAN is currently promoting the developing

of the Techno-Ecological Park of Usme or the Usme Science and Innovation City, a

technopolis of 320 Ha. located in the South part of Bogota. It includes nine units associated to

health, agro-industry, education, technology-based industries, culture, interface labs. for the 3H

interaction, commerce, sports, and housing. This project has been evaluated by Unesco, and all

conclusions from the report are related to the importance of TEPU for the development of

Bogota and the Central Region of Colombia.

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi: A failed double helix model and a renewed triple helix attempt

Saminu Ibrahim

Vice Chancellor, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Nigeria Science technology, research and Innovation are keyin the development of any Nation. The

Universities and other higher education Institutions as well as research institutes should drive

research and development and home-grown Technologies. The R&D results are supposed to

give rise to indigenous industries and also benefit multinational companies in the country.

Despite the country’s endowment with a large population, abundant natural resources, Nigeria

has since independence in 1960 failed to provide the World with any of the following among

many others (Bindir, 2013):

a. Globally branded products from its indigenous knowledge and industrial efforts;

b. Multinational Companies with outputs based on local technology and knowledge

system;

c. Global technical and managerial expertise bred from its knowledge system and

applicable in international industry;

d. Worldwide range of Intellectual Property exploited globally to add value and generate

revenue; etc.

This may have contributed to the way Nigeria is perceived internationally in terms of

development, especially regarding the way we progress competitively to deliver sustainable

development on the global stage using quality knowledge and technology. Some of the reasons

for this poor showing include the sometimes incoherent national strategy, with the sector

remaining highly fragmented and lacking in effective coordination. There is also funding

challenge. The quality of our education system may also be a hindrance as our students cannot

acquire the necessary life skills.

In order to make a way forward, Nigeria must restructure its S&T sector, focus research efforts

and expenditure on the few areas where we have comparative advantage such as agriculture,

petrochemicals, renewable energy, and mining. We also need to foster effective partnerships

between the public and private sector and improve the quality of teaching equipment and

facilities, as well research at the tertiary level.

Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa University Bauchi made some progress in the development of simple

technologies that can be exploited by interested companies and agencies for mass production

and marketing. These include a briquetting machine and stove, developed to serve as an

alternative source of energy for domestic cooking a simple wind pump for the generation of

potable water as alternative to the machine powered sources which are less environmentally

friendly a poultry feed mill, a rotary cassava drier. The University had made an unsuccessful

attempt to commercialize technology back in 1998 which could be considered as a double Helix

The 9th

model. One of the most prominent moves was made in collaboration with two companies, one

Nigerian based, AlkaChem ltd and the other U K based Neale Consulting Engineers in the

manufacture of wind pumps. The justification of the wind pumps was very clear. Well over a

billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water as a result of which about 25,000

children die every day due to water related diseases. Wind pumps could be part of the solution

to this huge challenge. Under the arrangement, the Wind pumps would be manufactured at the

Centre of Industrial Production of the University. While the University provided the center as well

as the personnel, AlkaChem was to provide the funding while Neale Consulting was to provide

some technical support. Due to the fact that the University on the one hand and the private

sector on the other were involved, the government was conspicuously missing and for which

reason the model was considered double helix. There was a lot of excitement at the

commencement of the project. However, it was short lived as issues crept in after production of

only a few wind pumps. Eventually the project crumbled for so many reasons prominent of

which was considered the absence of government to provide the enabling environment to

facilitate the project.

The University is in the process of establishing a Technology Park in the University with the aim

of promoting the convergence of our theoretical out-put and the industrial demand of exploiting

local products for human and economic growth and development. We have a good number of

good and dedicated researchers and developed a few prototypes. We have also created a

Research and Innovation directorate and started sensitizing the University Community with a

view to coordinating research activities towards national development. Initial contact with the

National Board for Technology Incubation and the Bank of Industry has been made. The

university is desirous of International Collaborators to facilitate the design and implementation of

its technology park plans.

Korean Economy now faces a lot of challenges for another growth, which require creativity and innovation in the future. The global economy’s paradigm is also shifting from the growth model of ‘imitation’ or ‘catch-up’ to a new model led by creativity and innovation.

The “Creative Economy” initiative is the President Park Geun-Hye administration’s dominant agenda for growing the nation’s economy through innovation in science and technology. In an effort to foster a better atmosphere for the initiative, the South Korean government has launched a series of policies designed to help entrepreneurs/small businesses and promote investment in emerging startups, including tax incentives for angel investors and financial insurance for those planning to open new businesses. Over the last few years, such initiatives have created hundreds of incubators throughout the country, offered entrepreneurs free office spaces, grants, and guaranteed loans.

Especially, 21 universities throughout the country including Hannam University with the infrastructure and capabilities to support start-ups have been selected as ‘Leading Universities for Start-up Business’ to form a start-up cluster in each zone in order to support new entrepreneurs and propagate the mood for start-up.

The first role of the leading universities is to discover and foster new entrepreneurs. They are trying to expand bases for start-ups. So far, although South Korean universities have traditionally excelled at commercializing university researches, there has been very little emphasis on providing practice-based learning opportunities to help students start companies. To solve such a problem, they have start-up training programs for college students and the general public. They provide start-up scholarships, encourage to organize start-up clubs and support start-ups by students.

Furthermore, they provide start-up fund through ‘Commercialization of Start-up Items’, start-up lectures, mentoring and entrepreneur exclusive training. Also, they hold IR for start-ups and support entry into the global market, etc. The third role is to operate as the region’s hub for start-up and hold “Young Entrepreneurs Festival Tour”. To hold regional competitive exhibitions for start-up and support connections to Biz-Cool (Business-sChool; start-up activities of the adolescents) is also an important task of the universities.

As one of the leading universities, Hannam University (HNU) operates also various kinds of entrepreneurial programs. Especially, HNU established the ‘All-Set (All Support for EnTerprises) system’. The system is to fully support small businesses from starting business to globally-strong small business. In order to operate the system successfully, HNU has built up and operated 3 organizations, namely, Start-up Support Foundation, Business Incubating Center, and Hannam Technology Holdings. In this presentation, the fruitful outcome and effects of the All-Set system will be discussed.
