Report on exploitation strategies and use of project results, 1st iteration

In this task a detailed plan will be defined and implemented with the participation of all consortium partners to realize an effective exploitation of project results. The specific exploitation actions of the project will be coordinated through the establishment of an Exploitation Board consisting of the research partners responsible for making the results broadly available, the development partners that will embed the results in their own specific products and solutions, and the industrial end-users that will review and validate proposed approaches for exploitation. The Exploitation Board will be the reference body for exploitation purposes and will coordinate a number of activities in order to facilitate the successful exploitation of the project results and maximize the wider impact of all project outcomes. The overall approach for exploiting results and gaining impact on the market can be summarized as follows: Identification of the innovations having potential for being marketed; establishing strategic plans for introducing project outcomes into developments leading to product and service improvements; development of innovative, marketable offerings outside the project; active dissemination and marketing of innovations; pushing information towards industrial associations, standardization bodies and scientific and industrial community for impacting widely spread application of results. At the end, the risk of implementing the project results and business solutions to help potential business partners will be addressed.
