Impact design and exploitation of project results
About
NSBproject is an Italian innovative SME specialised in innovation exploitation, business modelling, market validation and impact-driven strategy for European R&D projects.
As exploitation partner in Horizon Europe consortia, NSB supports coordinators and technology developers in transforming project results into credible market opportunities, investable business cases and scalable innovation pathways.
Our proprietary AI-powered platform, C-Tech Navigator®, combines competitive intelligence, technology assessment, IP screening, market analysis, funding intelligence and customer insights to evaluate the real exploitation potential of Key Exploitable Results (KERs). The platform helps consortia move beyond traditional dissemination plans towards evidence-based exploitation strategies and investment readiness.
NSB can contribute to:
• Exploitation strategy design and implementation
• Identification, assessment and prioritisation of Key Exploitable Results (KERs)
• Technology Positioning Assessments, including readiness scoring, competitive landscape analysis and freedom-to-operate screening
• Use Case Assessments with validation of buyer needs, decision-making processes, market attractiveness and economic viability
• Business model development and investment-readiness reviews
• Market, competitor and value-chain analysis
• Stakeholder engagement and industrial user involvement
• Pilot use-case definition and validation pathways
• Dissemination, communication and uptake activities to maximise project impact
Through our extensive European network, we facilitate collaboration between industry, SMEs, research organisations, universities, clusters and end-users, supporting consortia from proposal preparation through project execution and final exploitation planning.
We are particularly interested in Horizon Europe projects addressing:
-
Advanced Materials
-
Circular Economy and Industrial Decarbonisation
-
Digital and AI-enabled Manufacturing
-
Deep Tech and Market-oriented Innovation Actions
Partner sought: Coordinators, RTOs, universities looking for a dedicated exploitation partner able to bridge technology readiness, market validation and investment readiness.
