The Horizon 2020 Common Support Centre has launched a new service to support ongoing FP7 and H2020 projects, of any programme area, in developing exploitation of their R&I results.
The "Common Exploitation Booster" pilot initiative provides four types of services, for projects and results in different levels of maturity:
- Analysis of Exploitation Risks, to scout the route towards the market and better tackle risks;
- Exploitation Strategy Seminar a joint working session to streamline the exploitation strategy and go to market action plan;
- Business Plan Development to design a convincing and actionable plan for exploitation;
- Brokerage and Pitching Event where partners present their results to peers, potential users and investors, in order to pave the way to follow-ups.
The services are provided by external consultants under confidentiality agreement, and the costs of the consultancy are covered by the H2020 Common Support Centre.
Attached you can find a leaflet with basic information of the services and the procedure for applying them.
More information can be found from the contractors website http://exploitation.meta-group.com/ or you can contact us by email EC-CSC-Exploitation-Support@ec.europa.eu.
The project coordinators are welcome to consider these services and contact their EC project officer for requesting the service, if they consider it beneficial for supporting the exploitation of their project results.
