Toolbox for research outputs businesses

This deliverable aims to adapt the Access4SMEs toolbox to the Pathfinder participants (but also for other RIAs under H2020 and HE) to facilitate the transition from a R&D result to a business definition. Those tools are expected to be particularly effective for Transition to Innovation activities under the Pathfinder Pilot. Three dimensions will be covered: the business, the market and the company. These tools target mainly high risk companies, especially those led by researchers aiming to take to market the output of their R&D projects. A thorough analysis of usability of the tools will be performed in order to fine tune the final user interface to the expected target users, either through a dedicated workshop (see T2.3) or with user co-creation approaches. Considering the potential interest of this toolset, a special effort on training NCPs and participant in how to use them will be conducted in close collaboration with WP2, dedicated to training.
