Interim Exploitation Plan for Civic Open Data Engagement

Interim Exploitation Plan for Civic Open Data Engagement (report, M24) This deliverable considers different exploitation aspects of our technical and process innovation beyond the scope of the project: Market potential and business plan, transferability and sustainability. The interim exploitation plan will be further refined in the second year after the implementation of our approach in Spain and Greece and explore the market potential. The interim business plan will provide a viable business model on how to reach out to the market (e.g. explore different freemium approaches together with potential customers). The interim exploitation plan will be quantitative with estimates for the full implementation costs, turnover, and expected profits for selected services. For the interim exploitation plan TT will outline an agreement for partner roles based on the business model and chosen services. In addition the interim version will reflect on the challenges encountered during the good practice transfer for co-creation approaches within our project (from UK and Germany to Spain and Greece) and develop a set of guidelines. These guidelines for transferability of our method innovation will also feed into the Good Practice Guidebook. Furthermore will the interim report provide an analysis on how such co-created services may be deployed sustainably (e.g. through migration of our demonstrators to city information providers). This may include public-private partnerships as is the case for Bremen. The analysis will feed into T5.4 (the migration of our project results in the third project year). All sub-tasks feature considerations about the social or economic impact such applications may have and are derived from T1.4 (Evaluation and impact assessment framework). The task will be led by TT in collaboration with FTB, AUTH, UPM, ULANC, ifib, RCM and ZAR.
