BRIEFING facilitates the translation of European research of excellence into potential tangible innovations, capable of contributing to the renewal, growth and competitiveness of Europe. BRIEFING uses different ways to take advantage of FET research by supporting researchers in exploring innovations and promoting the connection between research and the business world. For this reason, the project is based on a customized offer for researchers through different tools and services that allow a personalized approach to the needs of each stakeholder. To ensure this, support services to FET researchers will be tailored to individual questions and including business and communication training but also combining tools and events, all administered through an online platform.
• Cross-Fertilization
• Strategic Design
BRIEFING, starting from the needs of the researchers, creates a marketplace where technologies, ideas and people meet. It enhances interaction and mutual understanding between various stakeholders – potential users, technology leaders, technology transfer organisations, entrepreneurs, investors – through professional facilitation and training. By doing so, it leverages the market uptake of FET experimenting new output, often different from FET world.
D+S participates in the project by supporting the other partners and dealing with the issue of discovering innovation opportunities. Our goal is to generate a framework to guide researchers in developing a greater understanding of the commercial potential of their technologies. This objective, therefore, aims to create awareness of the commercialization degrees of specific technologies. To succeed in this, we first need to analyse and understand the variables that must be taken into consideration to evaluate the saleability of a technology. Subsequently, it is necessary to examine case studies and the best of successful FET projects to further understand how to move in this world. These two moments give birth to a framework that leads researchers, and it is tested on real FET projects through a pilot.
