For the orientation of the research project a precise knowledge, and a close observation of market developments in the relevant domains, are indispensable. This enables the developing partners to align their activities along the project course and to readjust them if neccessary.

Planned first of all is an analysis of the current situation in the market and competition, with extensive details concerning the relevant firms and institutions, technologies, prototypes and products.

Over project course this initial outline will be constantly brought up to date and to the knowledge of the project partners.

Furthermore, solid business-models are to be found, with which the new technologies and products that have been developed during the project can be brought to market success.

This research project will describe existing or proposed research models, as well as relevant business models -- starting with a cost examination and then a first evaluation of these models.

In addition to this, approaches for new business models (within the context of this project) could be developed, described and then discussed with potential users.
