Deliverable D6.2 - Business Models and Financial Schemes: identification and development

The purpose of the present report is to describe the business models and financial schemes that will be employed to commercialise the e-SAFE solutions. After setting out the context, by providing an overview of e-SAFE’s mission and purpose, this report sets out the core e-SAFE actors’ (namely e-IPR and e-FOUNDATION) business models, utilising the business model canvas methodology.
This report also sets out the financial/funding schemes/tools that e-FOUNDATION may have in store for its potential customers, i.e., a dedicated crowdfunding platform (e-CROWD) incorporating a peer-to-peer lending platform, direct financing options, financial and fiscal incentives etc. Deliverable D6.3 “White Paper for policy engagement” complements this exercise by proposing flexible financial and fiscal incentives that can be used by local government authorities to encourage deep energy and seismic renovation [1]. The establishment of e-FOUNDATION will be considered by the e-SAFE consortium and/or e-IPR by the end of the project.
