Xarxa R+D+I Energy for Society XRE4S Lab to Market Program

May 14, 2020 XRE4S & InnoEnergy

The L2M program consists:

• Phase 1: A first scouting of technologies
• Phase 2: An in-depth assessment of the technologies with major potential of

commercialization

The objectives of the L2M program are:

• Support researchers and TTO to systemize technology scouting
• Impulse the valorisation of the research results of the XRE4S giving a personalized assessment

to the groups

• Promote the valorisation of relevant technologies by means of licencing agreements or spin
• ff creation to commercialize technology developed by the XRE4S research groups

InnoEnergy Team

Includes Technical, IP and Business Creation & Entrepreneurship

Objective of the First Phase

Solicit, evaluate and select promising technologies from XRE4S institutes for further Commercialization potential

Major steps will be:

Identify and Collect Technologies from XRE4S researchers Select First Batch

• f Technologies

for Pre- Assessment Conduct Pre- Assessment of individual technologies to identify those with best commercializatio n potential

Process and deadlines

Solicit technologies Interested researchers submit information via a technology fact sheet XRE4S committee of experts selects the top submissions for the PreAssessment by July 1 Each selected technology is evaluated for technology, market and intellectual property potential, including via interactive reviews with researchers (July 15-Sept 15) Results and recommendations provided to XRE4S research groups MAY

Submission of the Technology Fact Sheets

The Technology Fact Sheet is prepared by a knowledgeable member of the research group The Rules for participation are presented earlier Some questions on the form are factual and some are speculative In general, the more effort put into the fact sheet, the more likely we can produce something of value both to the researcher and to XRE4S The reader will be knowledgeable about energy but possibly not an expert in your field, so carefully consider the level of detail and technical terms

Advantages to the Researchers of Participating

• Feedback on your technology from a technology,

commercial and IP standpoint

• Interaction with outside experts on these topics
• Suggestions and validations of development plans
• Possibility of selection for detailed commercialization go

to market analysis and strategy in Phase 2

• Learning about technology valorization concepts as

related to energy technologies

Assessment Process for selected technologies

• Technologies will undergo a “pre-assessment”

which will include

– Interactive review (aprox 1- 1.5 hours)

• Researcher will present brief overview
• Technical and business experts will participate in this meeting

– Technical and business experts to consider commercial potential – Review of IP where there are patents or patent applications

• Top commercialization opportunities will be

selected for Phase 2 deeper analysis

Selection criteria to enter L2M Phase 2

The technologies chosen will have features in the following areas that, taken as a whole, are most promising for commercialization;

• Novelty and potential for disruption in products, processes or services in the

energy industry or energy related improvements in other sectors

• Intellectual Property protection or potential for protection especially based on

analysis of patents or patent applications that might aid in commercialization

• Technology Readiness Level (TRL): currently and clear path to development to

higher TRL level

• Time to Market for first application
• Size of potential impact in energy, environment, social or economic/commercial

sales (market)

• Likelihood of success (eg. problem to be solved, competitors in market, potential

partners, etc..)
