“ Horizon Results Booster services were very helpful. It was useful to understand how exploitation could go beyond direct commercialisation. Through these seminars, I realised that in fact it could be applied to many fields. ”
“ Horizon Results Booster was very helpful for the support of the project exploitation in this particular phase of consolidation. DENiM received good feedback regarding the current development level, in particular for the Key Exploitable Result characterization and the first business model produced by R2M Solution. At the same time the booster service provides us a helpful tool to investigate missing points. ”
“ HRB's support has been valuable in providing strategic guidance and facilitating initial steps in our journey. While their assistance has primarily focused on strategic input, we appreciate their contributions in shaping our early direction ”
“ I was very impressed with the expert that was appointed to us. He was always pushing and motivating us and it was very good for the project, for myself, for my growth itself. ”
“ Besides helping us clarify our initial objectives and create a comprehensive stakeholder map, Horizon Results Booster provided us with materials for joint dissemination and supported us in building a social media campaign ”
“ It was already very useful because we had to prepare several different documents that helped the consortium figure out what are our expectations and scaling up intentions are because so far, we focused more on the whole deployment phase and getting the tools ready, ”
“ At the end, it’s about bringing the science closer to commercialization so it can be used by people, otherwise it has no impact. ”
“ Most of the participants were engineers and had little, if any, experience on use and exploitation strategies. With the Horizon Results Booster we wanted to acquire some. Also, we aimed to join forces with other similar projects. ”
“ We teamed up to support several key engineering industries in Europe in dealing with complex applications using HPC technologies. Our goal is to help Europe leverage scientific progress in high-performance computing driven engineering and address current economic and societal challenge. ”
“ We need to change our minds a little bit to go beyond the technologies and solutions we develop. Once you have the solution or even before that, you need to analyze if it is in line with the needs of the target market. ”
“ We cannot just tell people to give up combustion engines or buy an electric vehicle. We have to make things easier for them. ”
“ Sometimes it may be difficult to find an immediate application for the research that is being developed. It is important for researchers to identify it so they can generate new technologies, innovation, and revenue that will come back to the society in multiple forms. ”
“ As electricity demand is constantly increasing, grid operators have to deal with several challenges, such as power transmission losses or outages. TDX-ASSIST aims to address these issues by developing new technologies to improve data exchange between system operators. ”
“ REFERTIL is a science and technology development project contributing to the cost-efficient transformation of the organic waste streams from the agriculture and food industry. ”
“ There is a growing conversation. We have begun the release of the technology much earlier than other countries, but we might now be overtaken by other countries that are investing a lot; It was a whole process in which we evolved, and came from just focusing on technology to also focusing on the market. ”
“ Since the beginning of CLEANKER I really saw that synergies between projects were possible. This is why I wanted to try this service. To see if we could also create synergies with the results of other projects related to CO2 capture. ”
“ We had the chance to improve pitching both in terms of quality and how to present data, also in a more quantitative way, so to make more accurate forecasts for company revenues over the years. ”
“ India was hit really badly, all of our field use cases were put on hold. We did our best to interact but we were far away, vaccinated, and this was not the case for our Indian colleagues" - “We are planning to go back to India in 2022 and the project team is mitigating the best that we can. But the pandemic has made our project super difficult and I’m sure it’s the same for all projects. ”
“ One of the specific challenges was how to identify and create a portfolio of results suitable for joint dissemination, and eventually how to disseminate and boost exploitation potential of the many valuable research results developed in the projects. ”
“ We had two use cases, one was illegal firearms trading and the other one was crime as a service, so people advertising their talents or services online, most of them on the dark market. ”
“ The problem with geothermal energy is that people don’t see it and don’t understand it, unlike wind turbines which are visible everywhere ”
