The Business

1
The Business Innovation Center as the best tool
to stimulate innovation entrepreneurship

• How can we innovate the business model of a
  Business Innovation Center in order to make the
  BIC a better and cheaper tool with no compromise
  to quality and results

2
Campus Ecosystem models for Business
Innovation

• We have implemented these 2 powerful models of a
  Business Innovation Center.
• What is needed now is the web based information
  management system to allow the deployment of such
  models.

3
The BIC is a service provider

• Integration coordination of a BICs set of
  services is very complex, because these tasks are
  generally performed by different teams
  entities.
• How to operate a soft integration of various
  teams entities in order to deliver a virtually
  integrated BIC with a bigger and cheaper impact ?

4
Campus Ecosystem model

• The campus concept means different functions
  services located in one or couple of buildings
  close each other.
• The ecosystem concept means various system
  components (teams entities) acting together in
  an informal/natural way combined to deliver a
  virtually integrated organization.

5
Private Public sustainable model

• Private public partnership is the best solution.
  Public money can finance part of the activity,
  but governance must be controlled by a private
  entity.
• In order to be sustainable, independent
  financially autonomous, the Innovation set of
  services are integrated along with other for
  profit activities.
• The goal is that the ecosystem become self
  sufficient and profitable after 5 years.

Do we need specific tools to manage a Campus
Ecosystem ?

• The BIC approach concept must be deployed in a
  wider economic social space than into a center
  only.
• We are convinced that the Business Innovation
  Campus Ecosystem is good, and it never has been
  done in a integrated way.
• 2 sets of tools to deploy manage
• Space, real estate infrastructure the
  hospitality services and the resource center.
  Customer buys receive the service (office,
  telecom, meeting room, food.)
• The notion of ecosystem many services available
  in one place but produced by different
  organizations how to align coordinate, to
  report measure performance

9
Description of the best tool

• Based on the Campus mode experience and
  practice, a web based tool aimed at managing the
  innovation and entrepreneurship stimulation is
  now under development.
• The basic idea consists in putting the
  entrepreneur, project, or start-up back to the
  center of every single service and action
  provided by any member of the BICs ecosystem
  (team, premises, talent pool, technical work,
  financing ).
• The same way a CRM system works, when a BIC team
  member retrieves the information from the system
  he obtains a global view of all elements of
  support already provided by every contributors of
  different entities forming the BICs Campus.
• The system also keeps track of recommendations
  made and can be programmed to alert the
  entrepreneur of his commitments.

10
Partnerships (both public private)

• This tool is under development and is been
  designed by a consortium of the member of the
  Antipolis Innovation Campus. The consortium
  members are
• The BIC entity (AIC), the real estate management
  company (BRISP)
• An MBA team from the (CERAM) Business school
• The Sophia Business Angels Club (SBA).
• An informal partnership with the Regional Network
  of Innovation has been put in place to make sure
  the system fits with the public requirements for
  reporting in case of public financing and support.

11
how the system can be considered sustainable

• After (collectively) designing the needs and
  functionalities requirements, a software
  development company has been appointed
  (BroadSofware) to realize the developments.
• The first 50 K have been contributed the company
  Everest, an engineering company based in Brussels.

12
How transferable is the tool ?

• We are describing here a set of web based
  software operated in a ASP (Application Service
  Provider) mode, or SAS (Software As a Service).
• The operations, administration and hosting will
  be based and monitored by the company KAST
  Telecom.
• The application infrastructure will ne hosted in
  the Sophia Antipolis Euclid data center (where
  Air France is expending right now).
• The system will be used on monthly a subscription
  base

13
Qualitative and quantitative results

• Ability to track actions within a distributed
  environment
• Implementation of a trusted reporting system
• Valorization and evaluation of every contribution
• Integration of the investors activity with the
  talent pool activity

14
Ability to track actions

• Ability to track actions within a
  distributed environment, when the BIC is
  virtually formed between many different legal
  entities.
• This will allow implementing the quality
  system and labeling to a consortium of entities
  working together on the BICs missions.

15
Implementation of a trusted reporting system

• Implementation of a trusted reporting system
  on actions and results, including alignment with
  the accountant system to match budget figures
  with on field reality.

16
Contributions' valorization evaluation

• Valorization and evaluation of the voluntary
  contributors to the BICs mission, to better
  evaluate the real budget cost of a BIC and to
  engage the public contributors to a
  private-public matching system.

17
Integration of the investors activity

• Integration of the investors activity with
  the talent pool activity and the incubators
  activity projects and start-ups clear and
  precise information and follow-up data need to be
  shared among these categories in order to
  eliminate/redesign the bad projects and
  redirect resources towards the good projects.
