►Panel Members► Bill Weimer, Faegre Baker Daniels► Carrie Eppelheimer, Dow► Professor Marc Hillmyer, University of Minnesota► Jay Schrankler, University of Minnesota► Professor Paige Novak, University of Minnesota
Point of this Panel
► Recognition
► Great collection of water-related technologies, businesses, universities and government entities in Minnesota
► Strong interest in growing/strengthening this by private and public players
Point of this Panel
► Collaborations (and collaboration attempts) involving Minnesota companies, universities and government
… are vehicles for communications, learning, relationship building and commercialization
Point of this Panel
► Types of collaborations
► Different Goals, e.g.,► Bringing together two technologies► Bringing together a material technology with a manufacturing capability► Bringing together a technology with a existing market channel► Bringing together a business goal with an expertise to scientifically uncover the mechanism that provide a
material property► Bringing together two business capabilities
► Different Combinations of Parties► Bigger companies, smaller companies, universities, govt entities
Point of this Panel
► Realities of a Collaboration
► Sometimes a collaboration makes sense, sometimes not► Collaboration must be based on both (or all) parties’ business objectives► Requires compromise ► Introduces risks
► Sharing confidential information, depending on another party
► The benefits of collaborating need to outweigh the risks and costs► How will this potential collaboration benefit us? What are the costs? Risks? What is the probability of success?
Point of this Panel
► Realities of Collaborations
► The “deal” you can strike depends on what each party brings to the table and needs from the other party► Business acumen► Willingness to compromise, to take smart risks, adjust► Existing market channel, ability to move quickly in the marketplace► Intellectual property: patent portfolio, trade secrets, brands, etc. ► Funding
► Collaboration agreements take time and care to negotiate and draft► Capture how the parties want to proceed, including how to end the deal
Point of this Panel
► Realities of Collaborations
► Collaboration deals take time and care to negotiate and draft► Agreement needs to capture how the parties want to proceed► Including how they want to end the deal

Satisfied MN-IP CustomerDear April,I hope this finds you well. The investors and Board of Directors of Diabetes-Free, Inc have asked me to reach out to you to let you know that the company's R&D has been very successful. The substantial scientific and commercial progress that has been made is due in large part the efficiency and attractiveness of the MN-IP: Minnesota Innovation Program. They have now established a second company unrelated to Diabetes-Free and would like to fund a $250,000 research project with the University with a new researcher in the department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development. Given the important role you played in making this a fast, efficient, and successful process and the relationship we have now established, we would be delighted to work with you again.Please let us know what next steps that we, the company, and the researcher can take to have the proposed research approved and for us to start work on the SRA.Thanks,-- Roger A.C.

IMPACT
Actionable quantification of water-related risks in financial termsInforms efforts to assess and manage water risk
The Solution
Potential Revenue at Risk =estimated amount and likelihood of the revenue that could potentially be lost at a facility due to the impact of water scarcity on operations
Full Value of Water (Risk-Adjusted Water Price) = monetary estimate of the full value of water at a facility level, based on what water would cost if supply and demand were accurately reflected
The Challenge
Water price does not reflect its full value
Water scarcity makes it harder to access water necessary to operate
Business Implications
Reduced profit margins
Decreased production & loss in revenue

• MDH does not have protocol for direct reuse– How can MDH say yes to direct water reuse?
• Engage with internal GNP Company departments – Quality Services
• Partnership with other MN companies and stakeholders– Willingness to do what it takes to get there– More support can help us achieve a more robust outcome
