It was a great pleasure and a big opportunity for the i4Q project to participate in the IndTech Days 2022 and the EFFRA booth that took place in Grenoble from the 27th to the 29th of May.

4ZDM cluster had its own village with four projects in total; i4Q, Dat4Zero, OPTIMAI, and PENELOPE. It was a unique experience being among so many entrepreneurs. We all had the chance to talk about our projects and exchange ideas with others, thus creating more opportunities for further interesting collaborations.

i4Q Project Plenary Meeting of Aveiro

To find new business opportunities and achieve a marketable end product and financial benefits over them, you have to pursue the opportunities and the steps to exploit them.

During the i4Q Project Plenary Meeting, an Exploitation Workshop was held by Knowledgebiz to find the best market acceptance and guarantee the effective technology transfer to the market and society.

The challenge, highly achieved, was to look at all the i4Q technologies and results and organized them into final commercial products/services aimed and focused on specific needs and functionalities. The partners also proposed different approaches to the market which provided valuable and useful information for the design of the i4Q Business Case.
