2014-04-30



Industrial Research, a key in-house driver for portfolio innovation at LMS

� High-tech field, bringing critical value to our customers

� LMS must continuously innovate its products and services

� Innovation needs fundamental as well as industrial research

� LMS motivates its R&D staff to combine the best of both worlds

� Work at the edge of technology

� Harvest the fruits from fundamental research worldwide

� …. while being inspired by industrial end-users and

address industry’s burning needs from the start,

delivering solutions to real industrial problems

� Strive for a PhD with industrial and academic supervision

Basic Science Value

Quality

Applied Science Value

Valorization of research results in industry means “bring a solution to

our challenges” and not “finding a problem for a new solution”

2014-04-30



Be aware that many steps need to be taken to turn research results into something that can be sold

� Many questions must be addressed before

achieving customer added vale & returns:

� What further investments are needed?

� Has the technology been validated?

� Are field trials needed?

� Professionalizing your solution?

� Making it ready for series production

� Packaging, Solution Marketing

� Cost & Quality assurance

� Supply Chain, Delivery

� Training, Cost-of-change

� Post-sales, Maintenance’

US "Advanced Technology Programme:

a reform with a purpose”

� Cross the chasm: you reach mass volume

(& profit) only after you’ve convinced a

series of ‘different classes of end users’

LMS R&D Approach:Partnering to share risks and competences

� Partnering with different Actors and Stakeholders enables

� Risk, Cost and Competencies sharing

� Building networks and accessing networks

� Partnering happens in different formats

� Informal or formal bilateral cooperation

� With lead customer(s) in technology projects

� In an RTD project context (Regional, EC)

� In business alliances

� Key success factors:

� Clear Win-Win for all involved

� Fitting into the strategies of all partners, with view to build long term relationship from the start

� Professionalism in execution: be specific and deliver upon expectations

2014-04-30



LMS R&D Expertise: Partnering in collaborative research programs

� Collaborative research projects as innovation framework

� Partner with key product manufacturers: study the right problem

� The real needs come from our users – validation for market-relevant applications

� e.g. with Airbus, Eurocopter, BMW, PSA, Renault, Toyota, EDF, Rolls-Royce

� Partner with (inter)national top-universities: use the best methods

� e.g. KU Leuven, Univ. Liège, PoliTo, PoliMi, UNICAL, INSA Lyon, Univ. Bristol, UTCluj

� Access to top-class research results

� Stimulate research to address areas of relevance

� Bridge from state-of-the-art to state-of-the-use

� Partner complementary technology partners (research institutes + companies)

� Fraunhofer, IFP, ONERA, DLR, EADS, IDIADA, MicrodB, TNO …

� Some of these are competitors � Coopetition …

� Over 100 partners, active and intensive multi-year cooperation with more than 30 academia

Example: Smart Systems Driving the Innovation Agenda

Electrical & Electronic content in the vehicle value

is increasing to over 40%

Up to 80% of future innovations will be based on

the use of some form of “intelligent systems”

Focus areas: chassis, body and powertrain:

• Performance & Comfort: power, brand, drivability, noise.

• Economy and Green Driving � engine and transmission control, energy

management, electrification…

• Safe driving � ABS, ESP, VDC, ADAS, V2V… up to smart infrastructure,

V2I, autonomous vehicles…Source : Arthur D. Little surveys and analysis

2014-04-30



PhD career developmentin academia and in industry

• Perhaps 10% of PhDs will pursue

the academic ladder (up to full professor)

• 90% of starting PhDs will grow into

(leading) positions in industry and

society!

• And: industry determines the GDP, which is

positively correlated with university funding!

Conclusions for academia:

• Dual funnel role & responsibility!

• Equip PhD students with an open mind

towards industrial and societal issues,

and foster their skills to address them!

• This applies to doctoral schools, industry-

involved PhDs (as IWT Flanders Baekeland)

and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme

� Most Marie Curie fellows embarked on an industrial career

� In research

� In product development

� In application studies

� Not uncommonly evolving into management (research & general)

� But also some pursued an academic track

� Invariably keeping industry cooperation in high regard

� Concerned about transforming knowledge into economic added value

� Becoming next generation partners, home institutions
