October 12, 2012 CSP_admin

The SMARD project is organizing an  Interactive workshop on Networked Media R&D commercialisation during the 2012 NEM Summit, in Istanbul, addressed to R&D EU project partners in the Networked media sector.

The NEM Summit, now in its 5th year in a row, is organised by the NEM Initiative – the Networked Electronic Media European Technology Platform – under the aegis of the European Commission (DG Information Society and Media) and will take place in Istanbul on October 16-18, 2012.

The workshop intends to identify the innovation potential in current and future projects and the commercial/societal potential of the ideas, to get a better view on tech transfer and commercialisation processes and how to build business cases for all participating projects, to increase awareness and knowledge on how to create and implement a tech transfer and commercialisation strategy in a (European) project.

The potential benefits for participating EU projects are multiple, ranging from new insights into best practices that could help in commercializing the projects outcomes, to chances to access opportunities to meet up with potential investors and commercialisation partners.
