Abstract

When the market demands strong, active innovation screening, the established industry needs to consider efficient technology transfers and development alliances across industry boundaries. The importance of academic spin-offs as a transfer channel for breakthrough technological innovations between academia and established industries is increasing. Consequently, cooperation between an established industry and academic spin-offs are of potential interest. This investigation at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Z¨¹rich (ETHZ) aims to explore the alliances between academic technology spin-offs and an established industry. More specifically, parameters that can increase the chances of a successful alliance are explored in depth. An alliance model to develop breakthrough technologies will be presented, based on the results of a multiple case study.
