A new white paper titled “Market and Innovation Uptake” has been released, offering valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with advancing research results in civil security to market and operational sustainability.
The white paper is the outcome of a panel session held during the Security Mission Information & Innovation Group (SMI2G) event in May 2024, which brought together over 300 innovators and practitioners from across Europe. Among the panel participants was David Lund, President of PSCE, who contributed to the discussion on overcoming barriers to market adoption in the context of Horizon Europe’s Cluster 3 Civil Security for Society Work Programme.
Key topics addressed in the white paper include:
- Strategies to maximize the adoption of research results.
- Overcoming common barriers in reaching higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs).
- Mechanisms to navigate the “valley of death” and enhance innovation uptake.
- The integration of market readiness assessments during research development.
- The role of ethical considerations in the adoption of security technologies.
- Enhancing collaboration between academia, industry, and institutions to boost commercial viability.
The findings and recommendations highlight the importance of fostering partnerships, ensuring ethical compliance, and addressing gaps in market readiness to achieve broader adoption of innovations in civil security.
This white paper is a must-read for stakeholders across the civil security research and innovation ecosystem, offering practical insights to drive the transition of research outcomes from the lab to the market.
