10 NOVEMBER 2021, 10.00-11.30 AM CET, Zoom webinar

EU-SysFlex would like to invite you to a webinar about methods and tools to take the project’s key exploitable results to the market. The webinar will present the results of Task 11.7.4 regarding business opportunity validation and the preliminary results of Task 11.7.5 treating the exploitation of the results as developed by project partner ESADE Business School.

After performing a profound assessment of all the exploitable results of the project, five results were selected based on different criteria. This selection methodology will be shortly explained, followed by an overview of the different business modeling tools used to evaluate these results, including the Electricity System improvement Canvas (ESIC), specifically developed for the EU-SysFlex project. Next, the selected results will be explained focusing on the problem, proposed solution and the most important business modeling tools used. The second and last part of the webinar will then treat intellectual property rights for software in Europe.

EU-SysFlex is a Horizon 2020 project aimed at identifying the long-term needs and technical scarcities of the future power system. The objective of the project is to create a long-term roadmap for large-scale integration of renewable energy in electricity grids as well as provide practical assistance to power system operators across Europe. The project team is working on identifying improvements to European market design, regulation, operational practices and enhanced system tools.
