Business and Exploitation

It is the overall goal of this work area to provide all LIVE project partners with continuous market information, analysis and recommendations that are required for their respective research and integration work.

In addition, the work area aims to transform the results of its marketing research output into concrete business planning documents that support the preparatory exploitation activities of partners for exploitable project results.

Analysis entails standard market/sector analysis, competitive analysis and SWOT analysis. All this business research will support the partners to pioneer the new market segment: 'Intelligent television programming and services'
