Lectures

  1. The GEO‐K spin‐off and the Space Economics opportunities
    • The case study of “GEO‐K”, a University spin‐off for Remote Sensing applications.
    • The Opportunities in the Space sector.
  2. Design Your Start‐Up
    • Introduction: Better before what is needed rather than I am able to offer.
    • Idea generation & team composition.
    • Design your Business Model Canvas: your company in one slide!
    • The Business Plan structure.
    • Financial Pills: basic instructions about the economic and financial aspects of budgeting and control for the management of your enterprise.
    • Funding: The start‐up fund raising activities for launching your enterprise is in the spotlight: ESA BIC Lazio Open Call.
  3. Introduction to Patents and related procedures (national and international); the role of the IPR consultant.
  4. Intangible Asset and Intellectual Property Management: an Enterprise approach.
    • Intangible Asset (IA) management and Intellectual Property (IP) management are widely recognized as important aspects of the correct evaluation of companies’ strength. They are generally acknowledged as important factors of competitive advantage for the companies (i.e. part of their capital) as they describe marketability of the IP and the ability to produce economic benefits. We describe the overall mission of IA management in a Large Enterprise and in particular the challenge of how to evaluate non‐material capabilities, expertise, innovation and inventions. Human Capital and Relational Capital are mentioned but are not part of this presentation.
