Important results from the project
All the objectives that were set from the beginning have been achieved. Many meetings have been held and new international contacts have been established with companies, institutes and universities from Europe and the USA. How far we will get in establishing collaborations is difficult to say at the moment. Our wish from the beginning was to receive more concrete proposals for collaborations to work on further.
Expected long term effects
In the long term, the above-mentioned business contacts will be very valuable. As mentioned, we expect to seek more contacts within the university world internationally and since these collaborations can lead to further development of the product itself. After this development phase, the business contacts will become even more interesting. The contacts with the companies have also provided knowledge about the degree to which they are interested in innovation and licensing of the technology.
Approach and implementation
The project began with extensive prospecting of potential partners in Europe and the USA within industry and academia. A large number of actors (>100) were identified with contact details etc. Marketing material was produced with texts, images and films. Detailed sales letters were sent out to suitable actors. Konferensen Clean Aviation Annual Forum in Brussels (17-18/3) and Paris Air Show (16-17/6) were visited for marketing and contact making. follow-up of meetings is currently underway.
