Development, commercialization, and diffusion of enabling technologies :
Abstract
This report presents a statistical picture of progress in early1998 as reported by 539 organizations which received ATP awards during the period from 1993 through 1997.Using data collected through the ATP's Business Reporting System (BRS) in reports filed during the year ended March 31, 1998, the report examines plans for commercialization for evidence of opportunities for economic spillovers and national economic benefit; it provides indicators of ATP's effect in accelerating R&D, stimulating collaborations, and increasing private-sector investment in high-risk technology development; and it examines progress of ATP-funded technologies during the award period.The report updates the December 1997 ATP report Development, Commercialization, and Diffusion of Enabling Technologies: Progress Report for Projects Funded 1993-1995.The study provides evidence that the ATP has funded projects with considerable opportunity for broad economic benefit.More specifically, participants in 261 projects have identified more than 1,200 potential uses of their technologies under development, and outlined business plans for nearly 1,000 of these.Acceleration of R&D, and collaboration with other organizations for R&D and for commercializing their technologies, are reported by 86 percent of participants having received at least one year of ATP funding.Industry has increased its own investment in the ATP-funded technology development areas by over $300M, representing a 58 percent increase over what…
