Planned approach and implementation
Smart Monter has implemented the project according to the original project plan. The biggest obstacle was to find a surface for Smart Montervägg, to an acceptable price, which worked together with the special paint which the exhibition centres is using. Several different suppliers and material was tested. This took much more time than expected. Since the financing from Vinnova was lower than asked for has some limitation in the project been made. One of them was a limitation in the market research.
