The objectives of the project Quake have been met, these aims were described in section 1.1 of the DoA and their results can be found in the different submitted deliverables:
1. To develop a clear understanding of the potential markets for our technology: Described in D2.1 and D2.2
2. To develop a prototype as a demonstrator for BI market outreach while exploiting our available prototype for the Biotech sector: See deliverable D5.1 for further information
3. To ultimately create a comprehensive business plan that will outline the relevant steps required to launch our technology to the market through the creation of a spin-off company: The business plan can be consulted in deliverable D3.2 although it is a confidential deliverable.
The most notable result of the project is the set of tools produced able to leverage the Qbeast indexing technology:
1. QDB: a Qbeast powered DataBase, able to answer queries faster than competitors.
2. QViz: a set of visualisation tools that leverage Qbeast to speed up visualisation of data representations needed by data analysts.
3. QML: a set of Machine Learning algorithms, that have been modified to take advantage of the Qbeast index to speed up data reading while they run.
Our dissemination strategy changed during the project. At the first part of the project, we targeted general audiences and scientific communities, to explain the benefits of the project and the technology respectively. Then, during the second half of the project, our efforts have been devoted to participate in events where possible investors for the new spin-off to be created may be found. And finally, since the work will continue after the project, we also listed some future events targeted to continue with the search for potential investment, to ensure the company creation. All details about our outreach activities can be found at Deliverable D5.2: Report on Outreach Results.
