About

DevelopMinded is an execution driven impact, exploitation and market uptake partner for Horizon Europe consortia and deep tech teams.

Evaluators prioritise a clear path from results to adoption, with credible beneficiaries, measurable outcomes and plans that extend beyond reporting. We structure and execute this workstream alongside the technical activities that consortium partners are involved in.

Where We Add Value in Proposals

  • Impact, exploitation and market uptake execution: Impact pathways, KPIs and an exploitation narrative that makes results usable and measurable.

  • Ecosystem and partner model orchestration: Align roles, decision rights and external validators and adopters so pilots generate credible evidence.

  • Joint business development and market access: Create demand while delivery is happening through structured outreach, commercial packaging and traction capture.

Concrete Deliverables We Can Own in Horizon Europe Proposals and Projects

  • Adoption cases and value cases that define who adopts, how impact is quantified and what conditions make uptake realistic.

  • Business and KPI pack that turns outputs into procurement relevant requirements and baselines that can be tracked in project delivery.

  • Replication design and rollout playbook to scale from one pilot to multiple sites with clear roles, steps and assumptions.

  • Exploitation structure and collaboration rules that clarify ownership, incentives and the chosen valorisation route so the path to uptake is executable.

  • Early adopter and buyer activation to build an adoption pipeline and capture traction signals such as LOIs and MoUs where relevant.

  • Follow on pathway and post grant route with decision points, validation targets and credible continuation options.

Cluster 4 topics we are targeting

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-48 Proof of market to improve valorisation and commercialisation of Horizon generated research and innovation results

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-05 Circular innovative advanced materials facilitating the transition from design to markets

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-01 Advanced manufacturing for key products

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-23 Accelerating the discovery and development of chemicals and innovative advanced materials through digitalisation and artificial intelligence

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-04: Optimise the usage of resources in a circular economy

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-14: Improving availability of secondary raw materials through recycling (IA)

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-05-MAT-PROD-25: New or enhanced Innovative Advanced Materials (IAM) enabled sensing functionality

We are also open to other Cluster 4 topics where impact, exploitation and market uptake can be strengthened.
