Important results from the project
Our objective from the start was to go from a smaller network, centered around our digital twins and a new ecosystem for health, to a much larger one, which can compete with the biggest other the actors out there, both in terms of enthusiasm, credibility, size, etc. etc. We have succeeded in this, beyond what we thought was possible.
Expected long term effects
This relatively small planning project is going to have huge impacts for us, long term. We are, from now on, going to act as a completely different type of player. We now have 100+ companies in our network, some of the absolutely most influential scientists, an enthusiasm for the project that is transformative. If we keep building on this step we have taken up until now, we are going to be able to do and achieve things we were nowhere near close to achieving before this.
Approach and implementation
We had initially a smaller workshop, with around 30 people, who met for two days in January. This was mostly for those that were a part of the original consortium. Then we went through all of the different sub-areas that we want our twins to be able to be used in (schools, defense, food industry, etc). We assigned or found a responsible person for each such application area, and discussed how that subgroup could operate, short-term, and in a longer perspective. Then it grew from there.
