From Idea to Market: Exploitation, Dissemination & Test-Before-Invest for Circular Economy Innovation
About
JOIST Innovation Park is a private SME and the first Digital Innovation Hub in the Region of Thessaly (Larissa, Greece), operating an 1,800 m² industrial-scale space for co-creation, prototyping, testing and demonstration. We don't compete with the technical solution providers in a circular-economy consortium — we make their results adoptable, fundable and market-ready, which is where most projects struggle.
What we bring to a RIVCircular partnership:
-
Exploitation & commercialisation: identification and assessment of exploitable results, value-proposition design, business modelling, PESTEL/SWOT and market analysis, IPR guidance, and full Exploitation Roadmaps & Sustainability Plans.
-
Test-before-invest & demonstration: laboratories and spaces for validating circular products, services and digital tools, small-scale prototyping, and dedicated user-testing and co-creation environments with real end-users.
-
Dissemination & communication: project website and visual identity, social and digital outreach, newsletters and press releases, plus organisation of events, demo days and brokerage activities through our hubs (Innovent Forum, InnoHealth Forum, Game Developers Meetup).
-
Training & capacity building: hands-on upskilling in AI, digital transformation, robotics, XR/VR and entrepreneurship — over 15,000 people trained — delivered via our Future Learning Lab and online Academy.
-
Ecosystem access: direct reach to SMEs, startups, investors, corporates, academia, public authorities and citizens, and to networks such as the Digital SME Alliance, HETiA, the SEE Science & Technology Parks Alliance, WEgate and EuroQuity.
