About Horizon Results Booster

Horizon Results Booster offers three main streams of support. The Portfolio Dissemination & Exploitation Strategy package is divided into three further services: Modules A and B aim to build greater capacity to disseminate research results, while Module C intends to increase the exploitation potential of a project. Next, Business Plan Development helps beneficiaries to develop a business strategy including an analysis of the market and competitors. Finally, Go To Market supports the beneficiary by preparing the product for commercialisation.

 

The Portfolio Dissemination & Exploitation Strategy service is behind of almost 75% of the 400 completed services. Thus, 102 services belong to Module A; 32 to Module B; and 161 to Module C. On top of that, beneficiaries benefited from Business Plan Development services 69 times. In other hand, Go To Market services helped on 27 occasions. Through Horizon Results Booster, 9 EU Dissemination and Exploitation reports were also completed, providing the analysis of the D&I clusters.

Here is an overview of the organizations reached from the beginning of the project.
