Industrial Reference Group 

To ensure maximum benefit from the scientific and technological results in the project it is necessary to continuously disseminate information to stake-holders, such as the European industry, national authorities and the European research community. Continuous communication with industrial end-users of HIPCON technology is also important to:

  • influence the project to achieve maximum industrial benefit of the results through feedback during the project 
  • estimate the benefit that can be achieved in the industry through the products and services developed in the project

To meet these requirements, an industrial reference group consisting of potential industrial end-users has been established and is continuously informed about project progress and give input on their priorities for further activities.

The companies in the group have been selected taking into account that they should cover a number of European countries and a number of industrial sectors. It is expected that the group will evolve during the duration of the project . The members of the Industrial Reference Group are:
