The development of activity No.3 has allowed us to work and validate the strategy of protection of intellectual property. At the same time, we have designed a technology-product-market roadmap, identifying the main R&D programs, their financial needs and potential sources of funding, which will be the basis of the Proposal for Phase II. Finally, we have outlined a global business plan, with general and area-specific strategies, and we have enhanced economic and financial projections for the period 2018-2021, specifying the needs and potential sources of funding. Activity No. 4 has resulted in a complete Business Plan.
