Important results from the project

Objectives in the project was in part to further develop the technology that underpins our product, and to carry out continued business development to create joint development projects with potential customers. Due to a number of unforeseen challenges, some of the goals in the technical development have been delayed, which also affected the conditions for initiating collaborative projects. Nevertheless, due to the success we have achieved in the project, we have reached a strategically important position where we will be able to effectively move towards market introduction in 2020.

Expected long term effects

Although we have not reached our goals to 100%, we regard the results of the project as successful. We have further developed our technology to a point where we are close to being able to initiate collaborative projects with potential customers. We have also, because of the results of the project, been able to further develop and clarify our plan for market introduction considerably, which has enabled additional sufficient funding for the company to take the step into the substrate market.

Approach and implementation

We consider he project´s design, with a technical development branch and a business development branch, where these feedback to each other, highly successful. The implementation has meant that we have further developed our approach to market introduction of our product. We will therefore continue to work according to a similar model in our continued development work.
