D6.10 – Exploitation Strategy (version 2)

The present document is one of the deliverables of the OCEANIDS project, which is funded by the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2022 Programme under Grant Agreement (GA) 101112919. This document presents the deliverable D6.10 entitled “Exploitation Strategy (version 2)” which was issued on month M20 of the project, and prepared under Task 6.3 "Exploitation activities, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management, and post-project sustainability”, as part of Work Package (WP) 6 “Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation of project results”, led by MetisBaltic (METIS). The Exploitation Strategy comprises three iterations, the first delivered on Month M6 has been submitted and is part of the 1st Reporting Period (M1-M18), the second deliverable is the one presented here showcasing the updates from M6 to M20, and the remaining one (version 3) will be delivered at the final stage of the project by Geosystems Hellas (GSH).
The presented report of D6.10 documents updates and expands the preliminary strategy presented in D6.9, integrating the latest outcomes from technical development, stakeholder feedback, piloting, and business planning activities. This second version builds upon the initial framework of D6.9 and aims to provide a more detailed and actionable roadmap for the use and sustainability of project results. It is aligned with the overall objectives of the OCEANIDS project, which seeks to support climate-informed maritime spatial planning and integrated seascape management through user-driven applications and digital platforms. While the first version (v1) of the Exploitation Strategy focused on establishing a common baseline, this updated version shifts attention to the consolidation and promotion of validated tools, stakeholder engagement strategies, and practical paths to impact.
The deliverable incorporates insights from activities across the project, especially stakeholder mapping and feedback collected under WP2, technological advancements from WP3 and WP4, and communication and dissemination support from WP6. Importantly, the exploitation strategy also reflects the added value brought by the Horizon Results Booster services and anticipates further alignment with EU exploitation tools such as the Horizon Results Platform. These deliverables will be further enhanced once WP5 initiates its activities from September 2025, integrating feedback from the validation activities.
