IMEC Introduction and History
Human Resources (2002): 1250 (incl. 110 Ph.D. fellowships, 270 visiting scientists and industrial residents)
Close worldwide interaction with industry, universities and research institutes
Partner in a large number of EU and MEDEA+ programs
Founded : January 1984 by the Government of Flanders, Belgium as an independent R&D institute.
IMEC is a non-profit organization with a mission towards European and worldwide collaboration with industry and academia.
Annual budget (2002) : between 135 and 140 Meuro (research grant from local Government is 33.3 Meuro (about 25 % of this budget); the revenue from research contracts is above 100 Meuro.

Introduction
Each year, IMEC has to fulfil a number of stringent and ambitious Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) with regard to the interaction and collaboration with its Flemish stakeholders (‘return to Flanders’)
Training : Flemish Universities, Higher Polytechnic Schools, Flemish Industry expressed in number of ‘contact-hours’ (target in 2003 ~5400 contact-hours) (+ of course towards IMEC)
Collaboration with Flemish Industry : Turnover from collaboration with Flemish Companies
(~ >15% of IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) Number of contracts with Flemish SME’s (95 in 2003) Number of new SME’s with whom contracts are concluded
(5 in 2003) Turnover from collaboration with Flemish SME’s (~ 3% of
IMEC’s overall contract research turnover) Creation of new spin-offs (at least 1 per year) Number of contracts with Flemish Universities, Higher
Polytechnic Schools and R&D centers (at least 32)

Collaboration : Technology Platforms
INVOMEC first initiator, later supportive/facilitating Technology platforms based on IMEC technology and know-how
Selection on-going with the Scientific Divisions
Purpose To set up a network/consortia including SME’s, LC, knowledge centers,
universities, federations and IMEC around these platforms
Example : MINT (Microsystems and Nano-technology network) Bring together complementary expertise & know-how, initiate joint projects
Value proposition for the participating partners Partners finding, B2B opportunities Share market know-how, technology evolution Road mapping Collaboration projects (including IMEC as R&D provider)
Advantages for IMEC High visibility One-many relation Flemish “embedding”

Focal Points in Collaboration Strategy
1. Service offering towards Flemish industry Structured thematically and in line with the scientific
research programs
2. Evolution from one-to-one towards one-to-many relationships
Consortia, communities, networks, platforms
3. Buy-in of SME’s through low threshold service offerings (including training)
4. Application, Training and Support (“ADS”) activities is intensified through:
Consolidation of ADS operation The creation of the “ADS” steering group Focus on a selected number of technological topics Intensive collaboration with IMEC’s associated labs

Collaboration with Flemish Companies
Type 1 : Research (3-10 year frame)
Type 2 : Application of IMEC technology
Type 3 : Distribution of know-how/expertise
Type 4 : Support of innovation
ADS
ADS : no ‘core business’ of the scientific divisions set-up of ADS teams that are active within the scientific divisions with support from I&I
