Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

During our 6 months project we developed a strategic plan in order to launch EcoStock’s solution and reach new business opportunities.
Considering that there is a significant market interest in EcoStock’s solution, defining a strategic plan is a key point for the development of the company and extremely important to reach the market and start selling the new solution.
However, the novelty of our technology forces us to gain trust from our potential customers and end-users by proving them its efficiency.
After defining those points, we have elaborated a strategic plan by:
1) Positioning the solutions within business opportunities identified;
2) Identifying goals and objectives to reach industrialisation steps;
3) Setting-up the actions to implement our strategic plan.
The achievement of SME Instrument phase I gave us the possibility of establishing a proof of concept according market’s needs for industrialisation and a market validation to better analyse the impact of its devices on its customers and on its commercial development.
