Welcome to GotHeNBURG aNd WesteRN sWedeN 

And most welcome to 

cIP FoRUm 2011 

GothenburG and the surroundinG Västra Götaland region is a melting 

pot. Here industrialists are mixed with customers, university students 

with factory workers, new and immigrant Swedes with people born here 

and nostalgics with progressives. In recent years, innovators have become an 

increasingly visible component of this mix. Intellectual property issues have 

been raised to agendas extending far beyond the researchers' chambers. This 

is a sign of the times. To develop our society, it is increasingly evident that 

we are dependent on the power of the brain, not just that of the hand. The 

intellectual property issues have landed on the agenda also far away from the 

researchers´ chambers. They are now a foundation for the gradual transition 

of the industrial society into the knowledge society. 

We bid you Welcome to the ciP Forum 2011, taking place in these very 

days when change is imminent, here as well as globally. The impressive programme 

of the conference spans most of the topics that will have a decisive 

impact on our future. That is precisely why your presence here is more than 

a visit; it is a participation in the process of shaping the future. 

So, once again, most heartily welcome to our corner of the world, to 

Gothenburg and western Sweden!

cIP FoRUm – a teN 

YeaR sUccess stoRY 

Launching a new international business conference among many was a daring venture when 

in 2001 CIP, the Center for Intellectual Property at Chalmers University of Technology and 

the University of Gothenburg, organized its first CIP ForUm. When a number of invited, 

internationally renowned industrialists, academics and representatives of the public sector rapidly 

confirmed their partici pation, however, the organizers knew that they were on the right track: 

Intellectual Property, IP, was increasingly seen as a key element in the ongoing transition to a 

knowledge economy. 

Over the last ten years, the CIP FOrum has played 

a central role in expanding the traditionally legal 

discourse on intellectual property rights into a new, 

inter-disciplinary knowledge-based business dialogue 

at the core of strategic management in industry and 

universities. In the process the event has grown from a 

rather humble four page program, 50 participants and 

15 speakers in 2001 to something much larger ten years 

later. Linking theory and practice and mixing executives 

with masters students, is at the core of the unique 

experience in Gothenburg every two years. Where else 

but CIP FOrum can you discuss new IP-based business 

models with your “chauffeur” from the airport? 

strateGic and oPerational 

The first CIP FOrum had two main topics: 

Technology/r&D collaboration and alliances in industry, 

and IP litigation & legal strategies. Additional 

topics included business strategies/IP strategies, 

Intellectual Capital management and IP valuation. 

Two years later the theme of the 2003 CIP FOrum 

was “managing the Intellectual Value Chain”. 

In 2005 the response to the quest for IP under standing, 

not least from industry, spurred the organizers to focus 

on “managing IP as Core Business”. The event went 

even further to show that IP management was not 

only an issue for major corporations; it applied equally 

to new innovation firms, SmE´s, public research organizations, 

incubators and universities, and spanned 

the strategic and operational level. Furthermore it 

was stated that the main goal of CIP FOrum was 

to foster a process of continuous learning and competence 

building within IP and knowledge-based business 

management, to the benefit of industry, academia 

and society as a whole. 

Pivotal role 

The 2007 CIP FOrum was held in an even more 

positive spirit, under the theme “En route to an intellectualized 

economy”. The growth of knowledge-based 

business development had been exponential during the 

past six years, with industry gradually transforming itself 

into knowledge-based business and universities finding 

their entrepreneurial role as engines of innovation. 

The organizers however also warned that the knowledge 

economy was still a moving target, with game- changing 

new business often being built on unexamined foundations 

and operating globally without globally harmonized 

or even acknowledged business rules for this new 

economy. “In 2007 it is safe to say that there is little 

doubt that intellectual assets, property and capital will 

play a pivotal role in relation to wealth and welfare in 

the 21st century,” the organizers wrote. 

no. 2 in euroPe 

The 2009 CIP FOrum was organized against a backdrop 

of financialcrisis and a general sense of industrial 

and commercial gloom worldwide. The Forum 

however attracted even more participants and served 

them a well assorted buffet of topics under the theme 

“The Future of of Innovation.” Again the atmosphere 

was one of general optimism about the prospects of 

the knowledge economy. It was underlined that this 

required continuous investments in innovation and 

entrepreneurship, something Gothenburg and western 

Sweden have taken to heart. In fact the western Sweden 


region is, next to Stuttgart, Germany, the European 

region investing most in corporate research and 

development, making it a world leader in this respect. 

Hosting an event on translating investments in knowledge 

into wealth and welfare was never more relevant. 

2011 and beyond 

The world has moved forward rapidly over the last ten 

years and nowadays more and more people in industry, 

academia, and government accept the need to focus 

on IP and knowledge-based business development to 

create strong cities, regions, and nations. Knowledge 

is generally accepted as “The New Wealth of Nations” 

while at the same time businesses are growing beyond 

the borders of nations – driving the need for collaborative 

innovation. 

Ten years ago the organizers had a vision of building 

a new understanding of how intellectual property 

could create wealth and welfare in the knowledge economy. 

Beyond a new understanding, a community of 

friends was forged that will remain long after the lights 

are turned off.

WHY We oRgAnIze 

aNd sUPPoRt cIP FoRUm 

ciP Forum is an initiative positioned at the interface of the public and private spheres, with the objective 

to advance the state of the art in understanding global challenges facing industry, academia, and society as a whole in the 

transition to the knowledge economy. On the surface, CIP FOrum is a conference and meeting place. Beyond the four 

day program, however, it is a platform for professional relationships to be developed and for launching concrete initatives 

and collaborations. Over the last ten years we have seen how many of the processes discussed at CIP FOrum are being 

picked up and turned into practice, both by participants at CIP FOrum and society at large, and are becoming part of 

our collective movement into the knowledge-based economy. It has been a privilege to provide the platform supporting 

some of these developments. Here we would like to share with you just a sample of the many perspectives and expectations 

on CIP FOrum that bring our various stakeholders together. 

ruud Peters 

Ruud Peters, ceo of Philips Intellectual Property & standards, executive Vice President of Philips International 

BV & chairman, cIP FoRUm 2011 

“more than ever, CIP FOrum shows us how the role of intellectual property and our relationship to 

it have changed over the last decades and must continue to change. CIP FOrum has seen IP move 

beyond the sphere of consultancy firms and patent agents and take center stage in board rooms, research 

environments, and the public agenda.” 

anneli hulthén 

mayor and chairman of the city executive Board, Gothenburg 

“In the vision of the sustainable and good society, the knowledge-driven economy has a key role. I hope 

that CIP FOrum will facilitate increased cooperation between academia, companies and the public 

sector that will help build this economy. In the long run, this will be one of many contributions that help 

build Gothenburg as a knowledge city, driving economic growth and benefiting all citizens.” 

helena l nilsson 

director of research and development at the department of regional development at Region Västra Götaland 

“Building a sustainable region at the forefront of research and development in new growth sectors is a 

question of integrating and lifting up regional networks and clusters to reach international standards. 

CIP FOrum shows us how these challenges exist in regions all across the world, and is one example 

of region Västra Götaland’s ongoing work to continuously evolve to meet the knowledge economy.” 

birGitta l-öFverholm 

chairman of the organizing committee of cIP FoRUm 2011 & director, trade and Industry Group, Göteborg & co 

“I see CIP FOrum as a valuable contribution to the development of Gothenburg as a platform for 

collaboration between industry, universities and organizations, in order to be one of the most welcoming 

and attractive metropolitan regions to visit and in which to live and work.” 

marGareta Wallin Peterson 

Pro-Vice chancellor, University of Gothenburg & chairman cIP 

“CIP FOrum should be seen as an initiative in the context of developing the university as a strong 

and strategic actor with concrete responsibility for innovation. This development does not mean the 

university abandons its role as an independent and critical voice and allows commercial interests to direct 

the academic vision. It must follow its own strategies and strive to elaborate these together with industry. 

It is all about finding promising areas and then cooperating through long-term, equal relationships. 

Opportunistic research is not in anybody's greater interest.” 

eva-lena albihn 

deputy ceo & Financial director, Business Region Göteborg 


“With the wealth of cities, regions and nations becoming increasingly knowledge-based, networks 

and clusters of innovative SmE’s take on an increased responsibility for driving economic growth and 

compe titiveness. Business region Göteborg supports this process by building regional business and 

industry networks, and views CIP FOrum as a platform for initiating and linking together networks 

that remain after the forum and contribute to generating sustainable economic activity.” 

jesPer vasell 

managing director, Innovation office West 

“I see that CIP FOrum has a role to play in illustrating the importance of and supporting the development 

towards a modernized and more effectively organized innovation system. If we are to realize maximum 

societal benefits from research, we need an innovation system that can offer practice-integrated 

innovation perspectives and professional support capabilities for innovation development.” 

martin lackéus 

Project manager, Gothenburg schools of entrepreneurship, chalmers and University of Gothenburg 

"It is with great pleasure that I see this year’s CIP FOrum including also the theme of building entrepreneurial 

capacity in the form of action-oriented and highly skilled individuals and interdisciplinary teams. 

I regard this as a vital component constituting the lifeblood of any knowledge-intensive innovation 

system. The importance of supplying state-of-the-art entrepreneurial education and training is bound 

to increase in any society aspiring to sustainably extract value from knowledge." 

boWman heiden, 

Innovation director, Qatar science & technology Park 

“CIP FOrum has endeavored to transcend ideology and buzzwords towards the development of a deep 

understanding of how knowledge-based business creates wealth and welfare in society. more than a simple 

networking opportunity, the event has aimed to redefine the role of intellectual property, promote a new 

inter disciplinary profession, and encourage personal responsibility in building the future success of the 

knowledge economy. In the shadow of the financial crises it is more important than ever to show how 

the knowledge economy can sustainably align economic incentives with social development and lead by 

example.” 

ulF Petrusson 

Head of department, Institute for Innovation and entrepreneurship, University of 

Gothenburg & director cIP 

“Perhaps more than anything else, our safe and sustainable transition to the knowledge economy will depend 

on our ability to understand, create, and regulate openness. We see this in the challenge of linking 

public and private innovation processes, in our use of intellectual property to build wealth and welfare, 

and in building bridges between developed, emerging, and developing regions. For over a decade CIP 

FOrum has not only studied and promoted open platforms, but has also in itself been a dynamic and 

open meeting space where long term networks and initiatives have been initiated.”

is jointly organized by cIP and göteborg & co 

center For intellectual ProPerty (ciP) 

CIP is a non-profit development center at the intersection of industry 

and academia with an overarching aim to generate sustainability by 

facilitating business in a knowledge-based society. Founded in a joint 

effort between Chalmers university of Technology and the School 

of Business, Economics and Law at the university of Gothenburg, 

CIP’s mission is to drive and facilitate a shift to an intellectualized 

economy for the benefit of industry, academia and society as a whole. 

CIP acts in a coordinating role to facilitate innovation in 

general, and particularly focuses on the implementation of intellectual 

asset management and of regulated openness. In this role, CIP’s 

position at the interface of academia and the public and private 

spheres enables promotion of research, education and practical 

initiatives employing a truly multi-disciplinary approach. Since a 

knowledge-based society knows no geographical boundaries and 

the infrastructure for knowledge-based business is global, CIP operates 

on an international scale. 

moreover, building a sustainable knowledge economy requires a 

new set of skills at the intersection of management, economics, law, 

GöteborG & co 

The task of Göteborg & Co is to contribute in developing the 

City and adjacent regions as a tourist, meeting and event destination. 

Göteborg & Co is a leading platform for international and 

national initiatives and programs in its sector. Owned by the City of 

Gothenburg, the Gothenburg region and local trade and industry 

associations, Göteborg & Co is a dynamic vehicle for mobilizing 

different sectors of the society to formulate and implement jointly 

shared activities in the interest of the region. 

Cooperation with institutions like the university of Gothenburg 

and Chalmers university of Technology is a natural part of Göteborg 

& Co’s operations. An example is the International Science Festival 

that is organized once every year in order to attract the interests of 

the public as well as students, to education and research, especially 

natural sciences. The Festival generates a significant number of 

visitors and active participants. 

technology, and design combined with experience of the challenges 

for industry, academia, and society at large. CIP also believes that 

challenging international issues requiring an open-minded approach 

are best addressed by working towards practical results. By 

promoting an action-based approach anchored in real-life projects 

for education and research activities, CIP is thus combining theory 

with practice while fostering development of new tools to shape 

knowledge-based business. 

Finally, facilitating innovation across disciplines, stakeholder 

boundaries and national borders means a constant balancing act between 

the interests of actors from industry, academia and the public 

sector. It also implies a responsibility to promote a constructive, 

sustainable and not least moral development. As an independent 

non-profit development center CIP is therefore always committed 

to actively anchor its activities in firm ethical standards. 

Increasingly attention is given to further develop Gothenburg and 

the adjacent regions into a “knowledge city”. The concept is used 

to summarize high ambitions at all levels of knowledge production; 

from primary school level to cutting edge research. 

Göteborg & Co and CIP are jointly organizing CIP FORUM 

2011. This effort is to be seen as a clear indication of the City's and 

the region's ambition to take an active role in building a sustainable 

knowledge economy. Different stakeholders must come 

together and actively interact in the processes ahead. Only a creative 

and determined commitment by the universities, the corporate 

world and the public authorities can create jobs and welfare, global 

competiveness and sustainable wealth creation.

STUDenT PaRtIcIPatIoN 

Here to help 

the ParticiPation oF current students and alumni makes 

the CIP FOrum event unique. Students are an integrated part of 

the event and are available as sounding boards for discussions about 

knowledge-based business. 

the educational backGrounds of the participating students 

differ, but can broadly be categorized as originally stemming from 

business, biomedicine, law and/or technology. The Entrepreneurship 

and Business Design educations at Chalmers and university of 

Gothenburg consist of the master level educations: Intellectual 

Capital management (ICm), Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship 

(CSE), Göteborg International Bioscience Business School 

(GIBBS) and Knowledge-Based Entrepre neurship (KBE). These 

educations offer a wide array of learning within the fields of knowledge 

based business development, innovation management and 

entrepreneurship. 

“In 2009 the Swedish National Agency for Higher 

Education ranked the entrepreneurship programs 

in Gothenburg as the best in Sweden.” 

the core vision oF icm is to educate a new generation of 

highly-talented engineers, lawyers, and business managers. ICm 

is centered on an award-winning pedagogy consisting of advanced 

theoretical concepts, simulated business environments and real life 

innovation projects, each designed to increase the understanding 

of the construction of knowledge-based business. Throughout 

the education ICm students analyze, identify and assess valuable 

knowledge assets in knowledge intensive firms, organizations and 

universities, as well as develop strategies to maximize the utilization 

of these assets within the knowledge based society. Its learning modules 

emphasize problem solving, in the context of open innovation 

platforms design, brand and patent management, IP strategy creation, 

governing of technology standardization governance, license 

negotiation as well as contractual design of r&D collaboration, 

licensed based business models, franchising and secrecy policies. 


Historically, ICm students have been able to test their skills and 

capabilities through summer and master thesis work at firms 

such as Cargill, CIP Professional Services, Coller IP Capital, the 

Dow Chemical Company, Dow Agrosciences, Ericsson, General 

Electric, mAQS Law Firm, morphosys, Nestlé, Nokia, PArC, 

Philips, PIPrA, Qatar Science and Technology Park, rambus, 

Setterwalls, Sun microsystems, ThinkFire, among others. 

cse and Gibbs are educational PlatForms which, together 

with their dedicated incubation company Encubator AB, are 

actively involved in venture creation. Both CSE and GIBBS mix 

students with various backgrounds and experiences in cross- 

disciplinary teams, GIBBS focusing on bio-entrepreneurs and CSE 

on technology entrepreneurs. The first year consists of partly shared 

courses with ICm, as well as specialized entrepreneurship courses. 

The second year consists of full-time participation in real-life 

innovation projects. Through a well-developed screening process, 

highly promising projects are selected from external business and 

innovation ideas and brought into the platforms. Students work 

in groups of two or three in collaboration with the idea providers 

(inventors) on the path to commercialization. Each project should 

have potential to be funded within a timeframe of 9–12 months. 

Since the start in 1997, the schools have generated more than 47 

new companies, placing them among the most renowned schools 

of entrepreneurship in Europe. 

the masters ProGram knoWledGe-based Entrepre neurship 

at the School of Business Economics and Law provides students 

with insightful knowledge about innovation and entrepreneurship 

as well as the skills to turn such knowledge into practice. Students 

acquire perspectives, skills and experiences necessary to take on an 

entrepreneurial role in whatever position they may find themselves. 

Through the learning process students learn to identify venture 

opportunities, assess possibilities and problems related to for example 

science, technology or market development and implement 

a venture creation process.

tHe NeW WealtH oF NatIoNs 

the themes oF ciP Forum 2011 mirror on-going developments 

in knowledge-based business, such as managing collaborative 

innovation, a shifting boundary between academic and commercial 

research, an emergence of novel technologies, the increased importance 

of the entrepreneur and the role of intellectual property as 

a driver in the innovation models of the knowledge economy. In 

these days, the ability to create, distribute and exploit knowledge 

is increasingly central to facilitate wealth creation. With this both 

public and private actors are faced with new challenges. Demand 

has arisen for the public sector to manage intangibles and on government 

to design an intellectual infrastructure that encourages access 

to knowledge, and for the private sector to balance societal requirements 

and renew business models. In other words, there is a need 

for entire nations to review and assess under which conditions a new 

infrastructure can emerge, and how this should be managed. 

ciP dialoGues 

Knowledge is now considered to be the new wealth of nations by 

many, but what does this really mean in relation to the future of 

universities, industry and society? How will traditional universities 

and industry transform to meet the new demands placed on them 

by an increasingly globalized and competitive world? What role 

will the nation state play for wealth and welfare in a society where 

knowledge and capital flows across borders? In essence then, who 

will carry the responsibility for economic and social development 

in the knowledge economy? 

To support increasingly collaborative forms of innovative value 

creation, CIP FOrum 2011 presents CIP Dialogues; an arena 

where opinions can be voiced and new ideas and solutions can 

be discussed. World-leading experts from all corners of the world 

representing a broad spectrum of disciplines will be on stage to 

participate in discussions centered on the importance of a new infrastructure 

adapted to knowledge-based business with a strong 

focus on the developmental challenges faced by nations. 

CIP Dialogues will approach these challenges for the New 

Wealth of Nations and highlight questions that are on everyone’s 

mind, divulging the opportunities and doubts about the future of 

the knowledge economy. 

cIP dIaloGUes WIll HIGHlIGHt 

QUestIoNs sUcH as 

- How is industry evolving in order to remain a significant 

driver of economic development in the knowledge 

economy? 

- Is the advent of the knowledge economy placing new 

demands on universities to drive and harness 

development? 

- do the new rules of play of the knowledge economy 

require us to reexamine the roles and characters of our 

traditional regions and nation states? 

- Is intellectual property still a means for fostering 

innovation in the knowledge economy, or is it 

becoming an obstacle?

cIP Dialogue 1 – Industry in 

the Knowledge economy 

hoW is industry evolvinG in order 

to remain a siGniFicant driver oF economic 

develoPment in the knoWledGe 

economy? 

The business climate has changed over the last decades. 

Globalization, innovation intensity, and new business models 

all present new challenges and opportunities for big industry . 

The focus of CIP Dialogue 1 will be to discuss developing 

trends and their effect on big industry and the regions and nations 

in and across which they operate. 

cIP Dialogue 3 – Regions in 

the Knowledge economy 

do the neW rules oF Play oF the 

knoW ledGe economy require us to 

reexamine the roles and characters 

oF our traditional reGions and 

nation states? 

The focus of CIP Dialogue 3 will be on discussing to what 

extent the nation state is capable of building a sustainable 

knowledge society. What does the wealth of nations mean in a 

knowledge economy and what is the role of the national government? 

In an age of multi-national companies and globally 

active start-ups, can nations really develop and harness wealth 

as they have traditionally? When valuable knowledge is held by 

stakeholders across multiple borders, does the relevance of the 

nation diminish? How does it differ in developed, emerging, 

and developing economies? 

cIP Dialogue 2 – Universities 

in the Knowledge economy 

is the advent oF the knoWledGe economy 

PlacinG neW demands on universities 

to drive and harness develoPment? 

CIP Dialogue 2 will discuss to what extent universities are 

capable of driving the development of a knowledge economy. 

universities have been and remain a major source of knowledge, 

but what should be their role be in shaping post-industrial 

society? Should they be active in innovation or merely 

focus on education and research? Or, at their current state of 

capability, is this point simply moot? 

cIP Dialogue 4 – 

Intellectual Property in the 

Knowledge economy 

is intellectual ProPerty still a means 

For FosterinG innovation in the knoWledGe 

economy, or is it becominG an 

obstacle? 

How has the role of intellectual property changed from the 

industrial to the knowledge economy? Is the effect of IP dependent 

on the IP system per se or on how it is practiced? Will IP 

determine the haves and have-nots in the knowledge economy? 

Can we count on market forces to balance the role of IP in 

wealth and welfare creation effectively? CIP Dialogue 4 will 

address the aforementioned questions and focus on the extent 

to which intellectual property impedes global innovation and 

economic development.

ciP Forum 2011 Focuses on the New Wealth of Nations and 

the theme of constructing public/private innovation infrastructure 

is at the core of this theme. The theme will explore international 

research collaborations and the creation of platforms to ensure innovation. 

The theme will cover the significance of, and the need for, 

a new infra structure – especially around universities – adapted to 

knowledge-based business, which will enable knowledge generation, 

knowledge acquisition and knowledge utilization. Focus topics in 

the sessions will include the important role of public financiers in 

ensuring utilization and the operative roles of intermediaries between 

science and business – often manifested in the form of science parks, 

and the collaborative and entrepreneurial functioning of university 

technology transfer offices. The aim of the theme is to explore different 

levels that constitute and construct public/private innovation 

infrastructure and how they interrelate at the levels of policy, of financiers, 

of intermediaries and universities. 

• larGe-scale collaborative innovation – 

Why it Will build euroPe’s Future comPetitiveness 

focuses on creating and managing complex 

innovation-based business from the European perspective. It 

will address the current trends towards an increasingly fierce 

international knowledge-market and how coordinated European 

initiatives across stakeholder, discipline and regional barriers 

may be the key instruments to ensure long-term European 

competitiveness and sustainability. 

• Public FundinG to ensure eFFective utili- 

Zation focuses on the role of public research funding regarding 

the utilization of research. The background to this focus 

is that funding agencies over a long period of time have been 

increasing their demands and expectations on research projects 

from an innovation and utilization perspective. Key questions 

that will be discussed are: What role do funding agencies have 

for utilization of research? How can funding agencies stimulate 

research utilization and how for the utilization of research 

followed up? 

• Public/Private collaborative innovation 

in Practice focuses on the operative roles of intermediaries 

between science and business. In particular the intermediary 

role of science parks will be discussed. The aim is to explore 

how science parks constitute and construct one part of public/ 

private innovation infrastructure and how they interrelate with 

the levels of policy, research financiers and universities. 

• university technoloGy transFer – toWard 

more entrePreneurial and collaborative 

models? This session focuses on the more collaborative and 

entrepreneurial functioning of university technology transfer offices. 

recent developments in particular in Europe are explored 

and compared to the impact stemming from wide-spread international 

convergence of regulations based on uS models, giving 

universities the rights and duty to commercialize research.

business leaders must vieW intellectual property management 

as a core business process, and in turn, IP professionals must 

view IP within the context of how it creates business value. In both 

regards this will demand an entrepreneurial effort on both sides to 

overcome the inertia of the industrial modus operandi. The theme 

of Driving Innovation through Intellectual Property management 

will explore new strategic ways in which IP can be used to build 

business through open innovation at various levels. The theme will 

build on and enhance previous discussions and question the sustainability 

of knowledge-based business models and how the business use 

of IP affects not only the bottom line but the incentives of others 

to oppose IP, regulate its future use, and potentially eliminate its 

existence. more than ever we can see that there is no IP without 

proper IP management, and that the ethics of IP is critical for global 

development, reinforcing the message of the financial crisis that 

economic development cannot persist out of alignment with social 

development. 

• oPen innovation strateGy: usinG iP to drive 

multiPle innovation and business strateGies 

Open innovation exists in many forms, but intellectual property 

is at the core of all of all of them. In this regard the ICT sector 

can be seen as frontrunner where a variety of open innovation 

models are deployed to both develop and distribute solutions 

based on differing business models and strategies within the 

same sector and even within the same firm. All of these new 

open innovation business models rely on intellectual property 

management at their core. 

• intellectual ProPerty manaGe ment in manu- 

FacturinG industries: is there a ParadiGm 

shiFt underWay? 

The growing importance of open innovation and the transformation 

of industry towards knowledge-based business models are 

altering how firms create competitive advantage. IBm, for example, 

has nearly transformed itself from a manufacturing to a service firm 

and P&G has set goals to generate more than 50 % of its innovations 

from outside the firm. The rate and scale at which the role of 

IP is changing has grown to the point where it could be said that IP 

management is undergoing a paradigmatic shift 

• the Future oF the knoWledGe-based Firm: 

are knoWledGe-based business models 

sustainable? 

The term knowledge-based business is used ambiguously in 

many settings with disparate meanings. In this session we will 

define knowledge-based business as business where knowledge 

as such is packaged and transacted (e.g. through licensing IP, IT 

solutions or services) and discuss whether business models that 

only transact knowledge are sustainable. 

• ethics and intellectual ProPerty: hoW 

should iP be used in business sectors With 

hiGh social WelFare imPlications? 

This session will explore the role of intellectual property and 

intellectual property management for creating a sustainable 

society. Is there a trade-off between driving successful business 

and sustainable business models? The session will use examples 

from environmental and life science industry and discuss ethical 

implications of IP.

INNoVatIoN-Based BUsINess 

there should be no doubt that the world is perceived as 

becoming increasingly more volatile, uncertain and complex, 

and that this trend is expected to continue. Within the theme of 

managing complex innovation-based business, participants at CIP 

FOrum 2011 will explore how both public and private actors deal 

with an increasingly complex innovation landscape characterized 

by industry convergence, increasingly rapid product life-cycles, and 

near-instant global access to knowledge and innovation. 

What capabilities and tools are needed to successfully benefit 

from collaborative research and development? What are open innovation 

and open business models, when you go beneath the surface 

of the buzzwords? How do large, traditional companies transform 

themselves and their business models to meet new challenges? How 

can SmE’s design their business models to prepare for rapid scalability, 

and how can they come up with and test the assumptions 

that will help them redefine their business as they and their contexts 

evolve? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in the 

four sessions during monday and Tuesday afternoon. 

• larGe-scale collaborative innovation – 

Why it Will build euroPe’s Future comPetitiveness 

focuses on creating and managing complex innovation-based 

business from the European perspective. It will 

address the current trends towards an increasingly fierce international 

knowledge-market and how coordinated European initiatives 

across stakeholder, discipline and regional barriers may be 

the key instruments to ensure long-term European competitiveness 

and sustainability 

• transForminG 20th century industry into 

21st century knoWledGe based business 

focuses on how companies within traditional manufacturing 

industries are meeting the pressure to become increasingly 

knowledge and service-centric. The session will discuss the challenges 

and provide illustrative examples of companies which 

have, in one way or another, made significant changes to their 

business model and/or organization in order to achieve higher 

leverage in internal know-how and expertise. 

• the Future oF the knoWledGe-based Firm: 

are knoWledGe-based business models 

sustainable? 

The term knowledge-based business is used ambiguously in 

many settings with disparate meanings. In this session we will 

define knowledge-based business as business where knowledge 

as such is packaged and transacted (e.g. through licensing IP, IT 

solutions or services) and discuss whether business models that 

only transact knowledge are sustainable. 

• research-based sme’s – choosinG the nonobvious 

Path. Very few, if any, start-up companies find 

their sustainable and scalable business model with their first 

attempt. The reality is that start-ups and SmE’s must constantly 

come up with and test new assumptions to survive and arrive at 

business models that can survive both expansion and evolving 

markets. unlike established, larger, already profitable companies, 

SmE’s tend to be highly financially constrained in their 

freedom to explore new alternative business options. The session 

will explore what it is that drives but also what might prevent the 

discovery of new and sometimes unexpected business models. 

What can we learn from SmE’s that are in the middle of finding 

scalable business models? How do they find ways to create and 

capture value?

enTRePReneURSHIP IN a GloBal 

kNoWledGe ecoNomY 

entrePreneurshiP in a Global knoWledGe economy, 

deals with entrepreneurial activity to build new innovation, as well as 

infrastructure that will foster entrepreneurial behavior in a knowledge 

economy. Entrepreneurship in a knowledge economy will include 

much more than encouraging start-up ventures. It will encompass 

social, academic, corporate as well as institutional entrepreneurship. 

This is increasingly seen as a collective rather than an individual responsibility, 

and the importance of individuals, their networks and 

their “outside the box” behavior needs to be appreciated. 

many global challenges such as the fundamental need for clean 

drinking water and access to information require a social entrepreneurship 

carried out in NGOs, private ventures or other means, in 

order to be successfully tackled. In this way social entrepreneurship, 

particularly with the engagement and involvement of prominent individuals, 

can help build and shape the infrastructure that the developed 

world typically takes for granted. 

The educational system on all levels is a promising key infrastructure 

for developing entrepreneurial behavior. Within the system 

we find students and academic entrepreneurs who champion new 

solutions, and the system can offer entrepreneurial training while 

participating in the active realization of new ideas. Through nurturing 

entrepreneurship in both established and emerging business, 

universities in particular can promote the adoption of new, more 

sustainable technologies, and thus help industry break with less sustainable 

path dependencies. 

• the role oF the knoWledGe Worker/the next 

Generation leadershiP. 

This theme will investigate the challenges for the individual 

working in a knowledge-based economy. In particular, it will 

highlight the role of the entrepreneur, and what this role entails 

in the context of the knowledge economy. What new demands 

are placed on the employers of ‘knowledge workers,’ and how 

can firms manage their most important assets when knowledge 

is both input and output? How will the role and responsibility of 

the individual change when driving business forward becomes 

an entrepreneurial challenge? 

• entrePreneurshiP in science: intellectual 

asset aPProach. 

This session will investigate the entrepreneurial potential inherent 

in universities and how an intellectual asset approach has 

the potential to visualize, define and find the entrepreneurial 

potential in research project, even when the project vision is 

far from any commercial application. This session will lift up 

examples from entrepreneurial activities inside academia, large 

scale industry and smaller ventures. 

• knoWledGe based entrePreneurshiP to 

solve Global Problems – Focus on Water. 

The issue of water is a critical one. The innovations in the field 

of water management will influence the very future of South 

Africa as well as Sub-Sahara. The session will focus on aspects 

of ongoing innovation processess and projects. 

• educatinG entrePreneurs For a knoW ledGe 

economy. 

This session will examine entrepreneurship education with a 

starting point in three constructs – cognition, affection and 

conation – as building blocks of successful entrepreneurship 

educations. The school system holds great potential in contributing 

to the development of new entrepreneurs and being a key 

infrastructure for enabling entrepreneurial behavior. Within it, 

we find students and academic entrepreneurs who champion 

new solutions, and the system can offer entrepreneurial training 

while participating in the actual realization of new ideas. 

Through nurturing entrepreneurship in both established and 

emerging business, universities in particular can promote the 

adoption of new, more sustainable technologies, and thus help 

industry break with less sustainable path dependencies.

ciP Forum Gathers a unique combination of international 

thought leaders from government, business and academia.The 

event not only establishes a community for knowledge transfer 

and development, but it also offers participants physical venues – 

so-called roundtable discussions – to sit down in private to discuss 

and determine the way forward in The New Wealth of Nations together 

with other actors, networks, clusters or decision makers. CIP 

FOrum therefore equips its participants with the frameworks, 

capabilities and tools needed for advancing participants’ knowledge-based 

business and provides an arena for decision making and 

setting the roadmap moving forward. 

Building on the experience from previous CIP FOrum events, 

we know that new insights and ideas emerge among the participants 

during inspiring talks in plenary sessions, specialization themes and 

workshops. We therefore see it as crucial to offer the opportunity 

for participants to reserve and set up private meetings either for 

their internal networks or together with other participants.

tHe cItY oF knoWledGe, research aNd industry 

the city oF GothenburG’s academic sPhere includes both 

Chalmers university of Technology (CTH) and university of 

Gothenburg (GU). Chalmers university of Technology focuses 

on research and education in technology, natural science and architecture 

while the university of Gothenburg focuses on artistic 

studies, business, economics, education, humanities, information 

technology, law, natural sciences, medicine and social sciences. 

Cooperation between CTH, GU, Sahlgrenska university Hospital, 

society at large and trade and industry has been consistently 

strengthened and intensified over recent years, as have international 

contacts and collaborative projects with partners abroad. 

the GothenburG reGion is an imPortant area for trade and 

shipping much owing to its advantageous location in the center of 

Scandinavia. Apart from trade, the second pillar of Gothenburg has 

traditionally been manufacturing and an industry that significantly 

has contributed to the city’s wealth. As a few examples, the city is the 

hometown of well-known companies such as AstraZeneca, Ericsson 

microwaveSystems, Hasselblad Cameras, SKF and Volvo. 

Omeprazole (brand name: Losec) is just one example of the significant 

role that the interplay between the industry and academia 

has played in Gothenburg in the past.
