Exploitation plans:
All the partners with the project manager will contribute to the Technology Implementation Plan.
From the start of the project the exploitation aspect and take-up models for different typologies of communities will
be considered.
Spin-offs of the partnership will benefit of the showcase facilities and will find an opportunity to extend more
rapidly their development plans.

Post project plans are already considered with the help of the local and regional authorities .
Participating Smes and entrepirses are also committed to assist with the expansion of the results by facilitating the
provision of prototypes at arm’s length conditions in specific cases necessitating a commercial boost.

At midterm the first draft of an exploitation plan will be annexed to the midterm review reports, so as to facilitate
the market visibility of the spin-offs.

Also contact will be taken and maintain with the European Small Island Network

SMEs’ opportunities:
4 SME industrial partners are part of the project.
The results will have immediate deliverables on their activities which should then benefit from the research results.
Moreover the spin-off promotion activities as well as those for “take-up” will have a beneficial influence on those
SME’s who want to use cutting-edge technologies to increase their competitiveness in the field of RES+DG: in fact
the dissemination activities of APERTURES will cause an encouragement to the assessment, trial and validation of
the proposed technologies and solutions, easier access to then and transfer of best practices for the early use and
exploitation of these proposed technologies.
The SME with strategic interests in participating, will also benefit in offering to the academic researchers an
opportunity to experiment , and mix with the SME R&D teams.
