Período documentado: 2016-08-01 hasta 2016-12-31
We have discussed various routes to market, and identified what we believe to be the most attractive for our company. During this process key partners have been identified, both on the supplier side, and the market side.
In parallel we have searched the IPR of our unique technology, and investigated if we have FTO, and what parts of our technology we can apply for patent protection.
On our home market we have expanded our intelligence on rules and regulations, so that we now have a good view on the go-to-market strategy on the Danish market.
We have found that the infrastructure on heating technology is completely different on our home market, compared to our export markets, and that our go-to-market strategy for this reason also is completely different.
During our coaching sessions we have identified some key elements in our product architecture, that need to be updated to suit our export market requirements.
On our export markets, where a large percentage rely on fossil fuels, we’ll be able to offer a heating solution that has a near zero carbon footprint, at a cost that’s lower than competing technologies.
