Key stakeholder involvement
Promoting SME participation SMEs receive 18% of IMI funding 15% of IMI participants are SMEs Thanks to IMI the company went from 6 to 50 employees. Now they are ready to further expand. “ 1 st product released to the market in 2013 – IMI was instrumental in validation of the first cell line product, 2 nd product release planned this year, 3 rd diagnostic product in development. In preparation: a new patent filing to protect technologies for the creation of third generation human beta cell lines.
Conclusions A mix of quantitative indicators and qualitative assessment is needed to fully address the “So what? ” question Need to address criteria relevant to both public and corporate worlds is a challenge Evaluation framework needs to incentivize desired outcomes and be the basis of a reward system Long term impact measures still remain challenging.
