Value-IT Project Description

Project activities will involve focused groups from both the STE “demand” and the “supply” sides. Target groups include enterprises showing high economic value, data volume and complexity, international presence and sophisticated ICT base, like the automotive industry, banking & insurance and process industries an one side and, on the other hand, ICT products & services providers, system embedders, consulting companies, research centres and working groups involved in applied RTD projects. The combined analysis of initial selected industries vs. key cross-sector business processes needs, will lead to a broader identification and analysis of the potential of STE based solutions.


A combination of strategic market assessment, market research and communications & networking techniques and instruments will be used to achieve the stated objectives, through:

  • Supply Vision look up, encompassing offering, commercial solutions, players, maturity of technology and perspectives.
  • A demand driven mapping, to provide a representative analysis of the opportunities and threats for STE mainstream market development.
  • Matchmaking and outreach activities and events, integrating the prospective visions of market players on potential development of STE, and promoting dialogue among STE supply and demand stakeholders.
  • Awareness raising of the existence, activities, outputs and benefits by participating of the VALUE-IT Support Action.

Project was launched on March 1st, 2008 and will run for 26 months.
