Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Development, Commercialization, and Diffusion of Enabling Technologies: Progress Report for Projects Funded 1993-1995
This report provides a statistical overview of progress reported by hundreds of companies and other organizations funded by the atp during the period from 1993 through 1995. The report annotates the statistics with comments from project participants. The information is based entirely on Business Reporting System (brs) reports to the atp filed by 480 individual organizations through December 31, 1996. While not all the companies and projects are progressing at the same rate, or have achieved the same level of progress, the statistical analysis presented here provides an overview of the degree of progress towards research and commercialization goals of a large group of atp award recipients. It provides a snapshot at a point in time; plans for commercialization and technology diffusion are being further detailed and implemented by the companies continuously. Progress reports from individual firms, and aggregate summary statistics of progress for the group of projects provide evidence of (a) opportunities for economic spillovers and broad national economic benefit; (b) acceleration of the r&d process and reduction in time-to-market in highly competitive markets; (0) stimulation of collaboration and collaboration effects; (d) increased private sector investment in high risk technology development; and (e) progress towards ultimate commercialization of atp-funded technologies through new products, processes, and services. Opportunities for economic spillovers and national economic benefit: Participants in 210 projects have identified more than different applications (or uses) of the technologies under development, providing evidence that the technologies funded by atp are highly enabling. New applications are being identified continuously. Companies have provided commercialization plans for nearly 800 applications spanning the spectrum of industries, providing evidence that they are seriously pursuing commercialization of the technologies developed in their atp projects.
