Gate2Horizon is a new company, which leverages the experience of its employees in the domain of so-called "exploitation of project results" in large EU-funded Research & Innovation projects (under the Horizon Europe - Pillar II funding programme).
We work across diverse sectors such as Bioeconomy, Circular Economy, Mining, Aquaculture, and Health Policy.
As part of the consortium in the EU projects, we assist project partners in the exploitation of their project results with a hands-on approach and tools to make sure the results coming out of the project are "exploited" at the end of the project's lifetime, that is "made us of to tackle societal problems, in policymaking or for commercial purposes".
In the initial phase, we identify and characterize results and their potential owners. We thereafter monitor them and select the ones with the most potential, which we nurture throughout the project lifetime with the help of our tools and services. We do it through:
- conducting workshops on different commercial and entrepreneurial topics
- holding individual coaching sessions with project partners
- using credible methodologies such as the Value Proposition, Business Model Canvas, EC's Innovation Radar
In a nutshell, we exploit the project results and help them on their journey towards market-ready and standalone businesses or we connect them to partners that can help with further research and development toward market readiness.
