WhoLoDancE: Deliverable 8.5 - Outcomes of the strategic exploitation seminar

In view of the preparation of the forthcoming First Exploitation Plan (due in M24), an exploitation seminar was foreseen in the DoW, with the aim of “identifying the most likely scenarios within which to position the project’s expected exploitable outcomes”. This seminar was held on the 26^th of June 2017 during the biannual internal review meeting of the WhoLoDancE consortium. This deliverable constitutes a briefing of the discussions that took place followed by a presentation of the agreed forthcoming actions that will lead to the preparation of the First Exploitation Plan. Eventually, this document will constitute the basis for the Exploitation Plan itself, which will try to expand the brief information herewith contained.

The seminar focused on two main issues, which are expected to play a key role in concretizing the content of the First Exploitation Plan. The first one was the form of the final product of the research and innovation effort made within the framework of WhoLoDancE, which will constitute the backbone of a future business model. The second one was the rationalization of the IPR management strategy.
