Innovayt has assisted a consortium of European leading industrial and academic partners, through the development and writing of a successful proposal for the FP7 programme.

The DIGISTONE project aims to address a major market opportunity in the supply of large, concrete multimedia displays primarily for outdoor digital signage and commercial applications. The consortium wants to develop an innovative, intelligent building material in the format of a concrete media façade/display – a Digital Concrete Screen System. The concept is based on carefully positioned fibre optics, embedded into the concrete which allows a live image or natural daylight to be transmitted through the material appearing directly on the concrete surface. The SME consortium had the capabilities to produce and market the new product, but lacked the financial resources as well as the expertise to enable the required technological development. Therefore, Innovayt has identified the Research for SMEs programme as the suitable vehicle for overcoming the technological and financial barriers associated with the achievement of the objective.

Following the evaluation, the consortium has recently been invited to contract negotiations with the European Commission.

Innovayt has successfully collaborated with a group of European SME’s, surface coating technology providers and engine manufacturers - ÅK Chrom A/S, Carbodeon Ltd, Radne Motor AB, Jawa Divisov a.s. and Husqvarna AB - getting a grant of approximately €1.2 million from the EU’s research programme.

The AdEC project targets the development of a new innovative type of super lubrication wear-resistant surface coating for internal walls within internal combustion engines that instantly will reduce friction and provide better tolerances between cylinder and piston, decrease the wear of the components, increase the fuel efficiency, increase the engine power as well as increase the overall engine lifetime, reduce the CO₂ emissions and even reduce the overall pollution of e.g. soot particles and formation of NO_x.

Søren Jacobsen, Manager at ÅK Chrom, is very satisfied with AdEC’s favourable evaluation, “As project initiator we would never be able to deploy the needed resources in order to realise the project goals, the grant support from EU will have a major strategic impact on our business and will directly open up new markets and increased revenue”. Furthermore, Jakob Bjerre, Team Manager at Danish Technological Institute – Lead RTD partner and Coordinator of the AdEC project concludes, “Our collaboration with Innovayt A/S has been very valuable, Innovayt has provided high quality work throughout the application process– it is not the last time we will use Innovayt’s services”.

An open-source platform for applications and device drivers for the healthcare sector. This vision is about to become a reality with the project CareStore.

Innovayt has helped a consortium of 3 SMEs (Sekoia ApS, Deosite, Rommerskirchen GbR) and 3 research partners (Aarhus University, University of Minho, Institut de Recherche en Systèmes Electroniques Embarqués) with the preparation of a successful proposal for the EU’s 7^th Framework Programme – Research for the benefit of SMEs. The project has been favourably evaluated by independent experts and will receive a grant of approximately €1.4 million.

“We have been absolutely pleased to work with Innovayt A/S and their team of consultants. The assistance and counselling we have received, has been unique and of very high quality. In the consortium, we are now looking forward to embarking on an interesting journey, opening up a major market opportunity for the collaborating SMEs. We will highly recommend Innovayt’s services”. Morten Mathiesen, Coordinator of the CareStore project and Head of Communication at Sekoia ApS.

The project will run for 2 years and aims at developing an open-source CareStore platform based on advanced recognition and identification technology and seamless device configuration. Specifically, the consortium intends to develop a shared and open online CareStore, a marketplace for easy deployment of applications and device drivers to be deployed in the healthcare domain.
