Objectives
The project aims at supporting web entreprenuers to intoduce new web-based services with high
potential for business success by developing an online communication and collaboration platform
for stratup recruitement, incubation, acceleration and market introdcution of new web-based
services and products.
Creating synergy among different stakeholders (startups, medium sized businesses, big European
ICT companies, indivisual freelance consultants, experts and organisations supporting the
incubation process) will be key in the project. The platform will be open to host any web-based
services, and for especially those offering innovative ICT-supported solutions in less frequent
services like developing local agrobusiness, servicing disadvanteged communities and revitalizing
the aging society.
By creating a new online platform that can serve as a one-click route into Europes vibrant ICT
startup ecosystem for practicing and aspiring entrepreneurs high numbers of new startups will
appear in four focus countries of the project.
The project is aiming at contributing to the reputation of Budapest being among the top ICT startup
hubs in Central Europe.
This new platform would fill in the basic needs in terms of Startup Europes ambitious goal to
create an environment in Europe that encourages more web entrepreneurs and to start a business in
Europe and grow internationally. (WP1)
By means of (a) the integrated services of the new platform, (b) the involvement of incubation and
acceleration actors, (c) building a network of coaches and mentors a supportive environment will be
established for startups with strong professional capacities to guide them when entering the market.
(WP2).
The new methodology composed as a result of a European partnership of experienced organisations
with international reputation will be the core of the new know-how developed jointly by the
Consortium. (WP3)
Increasing the number of student entrepreneurs and identifying the best ideas with high business
potential will be handled with special care in the seed period so that the highest number of newly
enrolled startups can be ensured in the project. The current services of university based student
organisations, eg. career offices, student entrepreneurship organisations will be developed by means
of the opportunities of the online platform, and the project activities offered and provided for young
adults. (WP5-explotation).
A new network of big European ICT companies will be connected to the startup network, so that
European multinational companies gain new energies to collaborate with young enterprises and
receive new competences, skills and ideas for their own R & D activities. The participation of big
European ICT companies are key when analysing market potential of new business ideas and
models.
Objectives of the seven work packages are defined in a way to integrate the different development
elements in a comprehensive project structure.
[InnovaWeb]
The newly built professional community site and online collaboration platform that will be aiming
at promoting and accelerating web entrepreneurship will open up a new dimension in the European
ICT start-up ecosystem. (WP1)
Introducing massive open online courses based on unique online educational curriculum and
training/mentoring methodology focusing on the web entrepreneurs and innovators will be key in
the incubation period. Mooc will help to establish and implement ICT innovations and launch
successful web/mobile based enterprises in Europe. (WP2).
The assessment and recruitment techniques aiming at involving a large number of new web
entrepreneurs and the event management platform as part of the complete solution will contribute to
a professional management of the startup network, and also keeping regular contact with members
of the ecosystem. (WP3)
The number of targeted partners and participants to involve is a moderate estimation proportional to
the development needs so that management of the ecosystem is effective aiming at valued
deliverables at the end of the cooperation. Medium sized businesses will also be involved in the
project to work closely with startups. A separate, very well-defined communication and
collaboration platform will be developed dedicated exclusively for encouraging this cooperation.
(WP 4)
Testing and continuous monitoring of the platform will ensure proper quality and gradual
fine-tuning of the online platform before opening it to the public. (WP5).
Consortium partners are experienced in disseminating and expoliting project results, their activities
will include the development and implementation of a dissemination strategy, partnership building,
continuous communication with members of the ecosystem, and differentiating between internal,
operational and external, marketing messages. (WP6)
Collaboration among Consortium partners will be performed according to the organisational
learning concept, based on transparent internal communication, effective IPR management,
professional project management and mutual respect for all individuals involved in the project.
(WP7)
1.2
Over the last 30 years, the Internet has become a major infrastructure for growth, job creation and
social progress. Internet must continue to foster and support development and to accommodate all
the diverse usages for which it was not initially foreseen. The aim is therefore to address the most
critical technical and use aspects for the Internet to be apt to support the huge future expectations of
society at large. The Future Internet topics will therefore i) address the limitations of an Internet not
designed to support the very large set of requirements imposed by an ever more diversified usage;
ii) support the advent of more efficient computational and data management models responding to
the challenges posed by increased device / object connectivity and data-intensive applications; iii)
leverage the Internet to foster innovative usages of social and economic value also benefiting from
the geospatial capabilities of the Future Internet. The area strategy is based on a complementary set
of technology push usage pull actions. The technology perspective primarily addresses the
[InnovaWeb]
limitations of communication networks and cloud computing infrastructures and services when
moving towards a hyper connected world with hundreds of billions of devices fuelled by ambient
and pervasive services. The usage perspective is supported by the early availability of testbeds for
experiments and research validation (FIRE+) and by innovative social and business collaborative
usages with users in control and taking advantage of advanced technologies. This is complemented
with actions towards web entrepreneurs to leverage downstream business opportunities.
Our project set the ambitious goal of connecting the members of the European ICT start-up
ecosystem through specific activities and methods on a platform in order to form a supportive
environment for the web entrepreneurs of Europe, in which they can rapidly appear, develop and
enter the global market.
Our project focuses on businesses and innovators who operate in the ICT sector and build their
innovations on web or mobile technologies, applications.
Our goal is to develop an innovative online platform, methodology and related services all of which
can serve as the backbone of the European ecosystem for web-based businesses. The online
platform links local web-innovators to an integrated European platform, by connecting and
providing services for running enterprises and other members of the platform it supports and
accelerates them all.
The platform introduced in this proposal will be a community space for practicing and aspiring web
entrepreneurs where they can learn, network, innovate collaboratively, introduce/promote
themselves and their projects, and have access to high-quality curated content. Our basic approach
is that we have to create a widespread, unitary European platform, on which we can connect and
channel every member of the ICT sector to create adequate synergy and develop the supportive
environment for web-entrepreneurs, resulting in fast paced relative improvement of businesses.
Our project aims to help promising web startups to efficiently launch and scale up their operations
across Europe, to create exposure to new financing opportunities, to link potential web
entrepreneurs with key actors, located anywhere in Europe and to link acceleration programmes
from several locations - providing real EU added value.
As indicated above our project has a really strong relation to the Work Programme.
1.3
about sector specifics, 74% came to the event to network. 57% wanted to find international partners
for their projects, and the only other reason mentioned by at least the half of attendants was the
promotion of their project or organisation (50%). These findings give us a good feedback on what
services are needed in higher quantities.
In 2012 a study was conducted in Germany titled Start-Up Dynamics in the ICT Sector. The
results show that the source of added value for young ICT companies mainly stems from the skills
of their founders and employees. This finding underlines the need for the platform to focus on
supporting the startupper instead of the startup. Furthermore the study found that compared to
start-ups in the remaining high-tech sector and in all sectors young ICT companies are characterised
by a strong orientation towards innovation. The platform needs to take this into account, placing
special emphasis on providing necessary conditions for collaborative innovation.
The fact sheet on ICT in Horizon 2020 highlights the fact that despite the high level of
unemployment in Europe, many ICT vacancies cannot be filled. While the demand for employees
with ICT skills is growing by around 3% a year, the number of graduates from computing sciences
fell by 10% between 2006 and 2010. What this means for our proposal is that the idea of becoming
an ICT entrepreneur needs to be made more attractive, and obstacles for becoming aspiring
startuppers need to be dealt with already on the high-school level by welcoming students with
entrepreneurial ideas into the community at an early age.
A. Pre-Assumptions
Based on following documents:
-
destined for growth a lack of secure environment for startups and existing European-wide
ecosystem and creating enterprenurial community.
So that this phenomenon could be widely spreaded not only in one or two centres in Europe (Berlin,
London, Paris), we need more business-ready ideas and involving them in the pre-seed process in
an early phase. To massively increase the number of new ideas we need new type of synergies:
defining comprehensive strategies to support business creation, innovation and growth, eeping pace
with the rapid technological developments: need for continuous investments, for quickly adapting
products and creating new ones.
Any web-based ICT development in Europe can onlybe successful by means of a proper
recruitement platform.
Key action in this respect are: synergy of start up ecosystem, investment, enterprenurial education,
student entrepreneurship, startups and spin-offs at universities. Universities act as crucial players:
while other ICT sectors often born and grow in industrial clusters and research labs, web enterprises
mainly born around top class Universities. Coaches, mentors and incubation experts play a key role
in creating facilities and events that allow the natural networking to flourish amongst, incubators,
clusters, and venture capitals owner. Establishing a pro-business environment needs strong
government support.
ICT based business requires a European network of service and cooperation
Key activities in relation to network building are: accelerators and hubs to be able to function as
pump prime, regional economies, seeding them with potentially high-growth businesses,
cooperation among local and regional support centres. Although there are many technology-focused
innovation programmes in the EU, very few are directly relevant to Web entrepreneurs. Academic
institutions tend to stay away from entrepreneurial innovation activities because of the risk attached.
(e.g. AppCampus-Finland, EIT ICT Labs, Geovation, Raptor-UK)
Attracting and pooling together the most skilled-people, capitals, information, hi-tech
infrastructures
Create practical networking opportunities so that aspiring entrepreneurs can learn from other
business in other regions. Access European and global networks, where stakeholders can
learn, network, innovate collaboratively, introduce/promote themselves and their projects,
and connect with supporting services.
Provide usefull and validated information about: to access to finance, innovation and
entrepreneurial culture, human resources, skills and training.
Strengthing the basic pillarts of education and training.
Developing and disseminating pre-seed tools to massively grow networks ICT start-ups and
web entrepreneurs.
Personalized services are needed int he incubation/acceleration phase of supporting web
entreprenuers in Europe.
Besides fostering global cooperation the following tasks shall be handled with special care:
Sharing core business ideas to in an early phase to receive the proper support,
[InnovaWeb]
The formation of a successful ICT start-up ecosystem is dependent on the market participants,
however, the government and large companies play significant role in the acceleration of early stage
ventures. A biological ecosystem is a community of many species, where all are mutually
interdependent and can only survive together. An ICT or any start-up ecosystem can only be
maintained permanently if every component is present, and more importantly, the components
support and strengthen one another. The other point of the analogy is that a biological ecosystem
grows organically; a start-up ecosystem is similarly created through grassroots, organic processes. It
is also evident that the government does not play a direct role in the development of a start-up
ecosystem, but rather, acts as a catalyst. Our vision is to serve as the connection that advances the
young innovators from the formation of an idea to the creation of profitable businesses. EH, the
Consortium Lead is active in Hungary as an umbrella organisation for start-ups and operating with
the ambition to become a leading Central European start-up hub. In this respect Budapest performs
very well in European comparison and this Consortium aimst at capitalizing on this position.
Budapest is among the emerging startup hubs in Europe. (a.) EH will contribute to developing the
new methodology with its experience in organisational learning (personal mastery, mental models,
shared vision, team learning and system thinking) as well as developing the professional framework
of the project from the idea to business success.
The main concept is to establish a network of networks where (b.) universities help identifying
the most brilliant students and adults with promising business ideas, recruite web-entrepreneurs
and provide networking and marketing support for young entrepreneurs under the leadership of
TUKE. (c.) Establishing effective working relations with big and medium size ITC companies
operating in Europe is one of the strongest factors of the innovation. They will help the consortium
identifying market potentials for web businesses, participate in the incubation period, especially in
the product and business development phase, and support market introduction of new web-based
products and services. Budapest can provide most of the Forbes 500 IT company for the network.
(d.) The incubation and acceleration model is the core of the methodology which is based on longterm experience in Hungary, Spain and in the Netherlands, and will also be tested in Slovakia.
During the time of incubation web-entrepreneurs will receive various support services and training
packages composed applying an inter-disciplinary approach: identifying promising business ideas,
product and business development, financial and operational management, learning organisation,
marketing and design, open source and commercial ICT tools and web-based solutions, analysing
market potentials in the ICT industry in Europe, ICT wins and best practices etc. BDF is a full
member of the EBN network with 250 incubators in Europe, an accredited BIC, a Business
Innovation Center, as recognized by the EC-label, therefore the success of this project element is
ensured by their participation. Mentorhip and coaching will be developed based on massive open
online courses (MOOC), which is another key deliverable of the project. Here the experience of
TUKE will be key again. (e.) It is very important not to stop the project after the incubation phase
but to ensure follow-up activities and consultancy opportunities when web entrepeneurs are
entering the market, starting a new business, and launching web-based services. The online
communication and collaboration platform, which will be developed during the project will provide
the opportunity for community building and keeping working relations during and also after the
project. New customers, investors, business angels and other supporters of any young business will
turn up continuously. Information provided through the open platform, workshops and events
organized at the end and also after the project will foster establishing new business relations. The
mission of KIM is to improve the businesses competitiveness and technological progress by
offering them specialized services and executing projects related to innovation and transfer of
technology and knowledge. Their vision is to position and consolidate KIMbcns model of Transfer
of Technology and Knowledge at an international level. Therefore their support in dissemination
and exploitation will be very helpful.
[InnovaWeb]
MOOC. The consortium is very excited about and committed to develop digital learning content
within the framework of the project. MOOC is considered to be a great opportunity to bring the
project to a European level and promote networking through education as well. The new English
language courses will support long term sustainability. Massive open online course (MOOC) is a
very good model for delivering learning content online to any web enterprise who wants to join the
incubation and acceleration process with no limit on attendance. MOOC has an important role in
involving crowds and massive communities in the incubation phase and also when developing
pre-seeding tools.
The Ecosystem. All members of the ecosystem will recieve high-quality support services with the
opportunity to join training programs using the newest ICT technologies (webex, telepresence,
social networking, web-based communication and collaboration). Members of the ecosystem will
be coordinated and managed in a systemactic way, using the organisational learning methodology
and creating a strong synergy among different stakeholders. Targeted groups of the ecosystem are
pre-start-ups with good ideas, startups, spin-off clubs, carrier centres of universities, professional
organisations, ICT associations, ICT industry representatives, ICT smbs, business angels,
consultants, coaches, professional teams of incubation and acceleration experts, technology-transfer
organisations, etc.
Online platform. The platform will be built and programmed using the newest ICT technologies as
described in Work Package 1.
Events. Communication and group work will also be handled with special care. One of the
elements of the new online platform will be the event management tool to ensure systematic
management of data, registration, agenda, outputs, and follow-up activities, eg. sharing professional
content and integrating them into mooc.

Ambition
In our project we set the ambitious goal of connecting the members of the European ICT start-up
ecosystem through specific activities and methods on a platform in order to form a supportive
environment for the web entrepreneurs of Europe, in which they can rapidly appear, develop and
enter the global market.
Web entrepreneurs worldwide have an enormous impact on human society, by using innovative
technologies and platforms to create products, services and solutions that improve and enrich our
everyday lives, whether that means better informing, entertaining, protecting or educating us.
From an economic perspective, the importance of web-based businesses for economic growth and
jobs creation (especially among the youth) is increasingly obvious. Start-ups create the majority of
new jobs and a significant part of the new start-ups are web start-ups.
There is a strong consensus on the link between ICT and Economic Growth. The current market in
ICT is estimated to be worth around 660 billion Euro, however, Europe only owns a relatively small
share (23%) of the World Market. More importantly, the ICT sector has a strong influence on all
other sectors of the economy, on public services and on the social system. We carried out a detailed
research on the state of the art, the main statements and conclusions linked to our project are
indicated below.
State of the art
The platform introduced in this proposal will be a community space for practicing and aspiring and
web entrepreneurs where they can learn, network, innovate collaboratively, introduce/promote
themselves and their projects, and have access to high-quality curated content. As far as we know
there is no such service in the European market, although many elements of the envisaged platform
[InnovaWeb]
10
exist in different forms. Bellow we will showcase some of these with the intent to show the reality
of the need for such an innovative platform.
For community functions forums have long been used, but in recent years social networks started to
take over. Facebook is the greatest success story of all. Users can create personal profiles, connect
with friends, groups and pages, share content, engage with others content, message each other and
set up events. Lately smaller, thematic social networks have also emerged, the closest to our
concept being LinkedIn, which focuses on the professional lives of its users. If we come closer to
the ICT sector and the EU, The Accelerator Assembly Forum is utilizing the widely used private
social network, Yammer. This, although being a very handy solution for companies, lacks many
features that would serve such sector-specific needs. Having the goals of our proposal in mind,
instead of using these solutions with a lot of compromises, it is worth building a specialized social
network and integrate the above mentioned services in the login system, linking the platform
account to other social media accounts.
The list below contains other services, best practices covering parts of the portfolio of the new
platform.
ideenkanal.com This service helps creative and innovative ideas form into business
solutions and projects. It is only available in German language. It links its services to
localities in Austria, organizes competitions and runs a nice blog.
ideaswatch.com The site gathers startup ideas from the crowd. Anybody can post a
business idea on a post-it-like paper, which might be voted on and followed by others, and
users can also team up for an idea. The service integrates nicely with social networks, letting
users use there already existing accounts for login.
gust.com The #1 platform in startup funding. Its profile building tool for startups is a
remarkable feature, as well as its deal flow management tools for investors.
startuplive.in It is the site where ideas are launched, creative teams are formed and
valuable connections made. Their methodology is widely used in different European cities,
and they host the biggest startup event in Europe, the Pioneers Festival.
seedrs.com A website linking investors and entrepreneurs, and working also in Europe.
Remarkable is the way they present company profiles.
ed.ted.com Lessons worth sharing. TEDs educational website, where everyone can create
a lesson around any YouTube or TED video, and then use it in different ways. Highly
cutting-edge, awarded website.
edx.org The website where users can take courses from the worlds best universities.

Based on the above its clear, that the economic growth and competitiveness of Europe is highly
influenced by its focus and support on increasing the number and pace of growth of web-based
businesses.
In favor of long term sustainability, similar to a working biological ecosystem, every component
must be present and they have to form an adequate synergy in the ecosystem of web based
businesses. A biological ecosystem is a community of many species, where all are mutually
interdependent and can only survive together. An ICT start-up ecosystem can only be maintained
permanently if every component is present, and more importantly, the components support and
strengthen one another. According to this conclusion we thoroughly examined which missing
components are necessary to install in order to form an optimal, rapidly growing ICT ecosystem in
Europe. One of our primary conclusions is that although there are many Tech start-up Hubs present
in Europe, the synergy is completely missing between the individual hubs and member states.
The growth of the European web-based enterprises and the entirety of the ICT sector can only
accelerate if in the early stage of the business life-cycle (idea, pre-seed, seed) we attach webentrepreneurs to a supportive environment that ensures the potential for continuous development.
The biggest challenge for web/mobile-based start-ups is to survive the riskiest stages of the lifecycle, the pre-seed and seed (death-valley) sections. In the light of this information our developed
concept and related methodologies are focused on resolving the hardship of these sections in a way
that advances the young innovators from the formation of an idea to the creation of profitable
businesses.
Our proposal is to develop an innovation online platform, methodology and related services all of
which can serve as the backbone of the European ecosystem for web-based businesses. The
online platform links local web-innovators to an integrated European platform, by connecting
and providing services for running enterprises and other members of the platform it supports and
accelerates them all.
In the following we present issues and problems to be addressed, and approaches and methods to be
used:

During the selection of the members of the consortium serving the needs of the project, the most
important standpoint was to bring together states whose ICT industries are all on different
development levels. The main reason for this concept is that through the online platform we intend
to improve the development of the entire European ICT start-up ecosystem.
Overall the primary goal of the set concepts is to contribute in spreading and developing web
based businesses in the future all across Europe.
To achieve this purpose we absolutely require linking as many young innovators as we can to a
common European support system, which helps them to achieve the realization of their ideas and
form profitable businesses.
We strongly believe that by creating an innovator platform we could connect members and
achieve synergy in the ICT sector and by utilizing the presented methodologies and services we
can increase the number of web based enterprises all across Europe.

2.1
Expected impacts
Our main expected impact of the project is to create a widespread, unitary European platform, on
which we can connect and channel every member of the ICT sector to create adequate synergy
and develop the supportive environment for web-entrepreneurs, resulting in fast paced relative
improvement of businesses. By creating this innovator platform we could connect members and
achieve synergy in the ICT sector and by utilizing the presented methodologies and services we
can increase the number of web based enterprises all across Europe. Our proposal aims to help
promising web startups to efficiently launch and scale up their operations across Europe, to
create exposure to new financing opportunities, to link potential web entrepreneurs with key
actors, located anywhere in Europe and to link acceleration programmes from several locations providing real EU added value.
The expected main impacts of the work program:
Feedback of the entire innovation process will be prompt and adequate, and services
needed by knowledge-based start-up companies will emerge on an intense virtual
marketplace
[InnovaWeb]

With the web entrepreneurship ecosystem in motion, giving and receiving relevant
information is the primary propellant for the future of web entrepreneurship in
Europe. The proposed project will take into consideration that there will not only be
technological hurdles to overcome with regard to the spread of information, but that
relevant knowledge can only be created if there is a network of stakeholders dedicated
to cooperating with one another to achieve a common goal
of
training and

Selection of target markets and related partners (actors of the market; actors of the value
chain; partners in research projects; partners in development and/or commercialization). A
first approximation of price setting for final applications will be also considered;
Definition of the various options for technology solutions protection (through patents, brand,
industrial property, etc);
In order to develop the most important business opportunities in relation with this project, the
performed actions will be:
Evaluation of the potential diversification of the knowledge outcome of the current project.
Evaluation of creation of possible clusters as a result of the project.
To become a reference of the industrial printing industries in Europe.
KIM as the Exploitation Manager will have a key role in coordinating the various exploitation
activities. It is the task of the Exploitation Manager to manage and analyse possibilities for
protecting project results before dissemination. Protection should be combined with dissemination
and not compete with it, and they both should contribute to exploitation, for this reason both the
Dissemination Manager and Exploitation Manager role have been assigned to the same person. The
Exploitation Manager with the contribution of the whole consortium- will be the responsible for
the development of a rolling exploitation plan, which will be presented to the Management
Committee. At month 14 the Exploitation Manager will present a first draft made on the basis of all
partners contributions and suggestions, as well as on the specific research process on existing
models and legislations. Such draft will be voted and approved by the Management Committee and
reviewed half yearly at least. The final version of the Exploitation and Business Plan will include all
the decisions taken within the scope of the project related with intellectual property rights, and will
specify in detail for each result both joint and individual exploitation strategies in terms of
technology roadmaps, finance requirements and commercial opportunities and related business
roadmap.
2.2.2 Business Plan
The objective of this document is to present the various exploitation possibilities for the INNOVA
WEB project. The business plan will start by presenting the obtained products and developed
methods.
For a successful project lifecycle, careful dissemination and exploitation strategies are essential.
While dissemination activities will be performed from the founding of the INNOVA WEB project,
the exploitation strategy will concentrate on the projects results during the last phase and afterward
to reach sustainability after the project ends.
To enable the transition from an R&D setting to corporate use, important stability, language
dependencies, and ease of adaptation requirements should be met. During validation, specific
activities will be undertaken to create a complete picture of all these requirements. The results
should clarify the best way to exploit each result, including any need for further R&D.
[InnovaWeb]
18
The Business plan of INNOVA WEB project will focus on the following aspects:
1. Executive summary describing the project.
2. Business Summary/Technological Development describing each result or technology
developed during the project and its specific market analysis.
3. Strategy and Implementation Summary
1.1. Commercial strategies:
Define the proposed offering: the product and/or service; target market sector, target
market volumes.
Review the market sector, its: structure; size; drivers; market and technology trends
(technologies and economics that are driving the market and the anticipated trends that
could influence the market entry of the offering.)
Assess the competition: main players, their current offerings and market share.
Summarise potential business model(s) together with possible entry price(s) and
costs.
Assess the key risks to market entry and possible options for risk mitigation.
1.2. Conclusions
2. Promotion and Exploitation Policy describing dissemination tools such as the project logo,
the website, conferences/events where the project has been presented and publication of
project results.
3. Financial Plan Summary describing: assumptions, sales forecast, cashflow statements,
profits and losses forecast, break-even analysis, scenarios, risk analysis and exit strategy.
2.2.3 Data management

Objectives
The development of a professional community site and online collaboration platform that will serve
as the online component of our new methodology aiming to promote and accelerate web
entrepreneurship in Europe by connecting offline and online services (thereby dissolving the
geographical limitations)lays at the core of our proposal. The platform is expected to open up a new
dimension in the European ICT start-up ecosystem.
For reasons described in chapter 1.3 of this proposal the platform needs to be designed and built to
meet the following objectives.

a
community space for all aspiring and practicing entrepreneurs in the ICT start-up ecosystem
where they can learn, network, innovate collaboratively, introduce/promote themselves and
their projects, and connect with supporting services.
Helping to
transmit the ideas of innovators to the incubating/accelerating readiness level, then
supporting web entrepreneurs in the launch, growth and internationalisation of their
businesses
Providing
entrepreneur training, education and mentoring online
Building a
platform that is able to offer curated content from high-quality sources, gives access to a
syndicated event calendar, and implements effective community management
Highlighting
the most valuable ICT initiatives in Europe
Placing
special emphasis on reaching and welcoming students with entrepreneurial potential into the
community.
Connecting
existing local web-entrepreneurship ecosystems and hubs and building upon these in order
to provide new services for web and mobile based entrepreneurs

Task 1.1 Preparation
(Duration:M1-M2)
o Sub-task 1.1.1 Study of best practices
(Sub-task leader :EH, Duration:M1-M2)
Before designing the platform, best practices of web services that serve at least one of
the above mentioned objectives need to be collected and analysed. By this we achieve a
double goal: 1) We make sure that the platform created in the framework of this action is
innovative and ahead of the state of the art. 2) We may identify numerous services and
providers that can still be involved as partners and service/content providers. This subtask will be implemented by EH, asking for inputs from all other participants as well.
o Sub-task 1.1.2 Input frompotential service partners
(Sub-task leader : KIMBCN, Duration:M1-M2)
The platform intends to operate as a hub, integrating educational, supporting, content
and event-related, and other services from providers into one place. Before the actual
designing of the platform starts, we will set up a database of all those organizations in
Europe who might potentially be interested in offering their services through the
platform(start-up seeds, accelerators, incubators, UnisTech-Transfer Offices, Carrier
Centres and Entrepreneur Development NGOs etc.) .After the compilation of the list we
will reach out to these organizations with a brief introduction of the plans, asking about
their intent to participate and their introductions and concept for participating, and
partnerships will be formed. These organizations and initiatives will definitely include
other EU-funded services.
Task 1.2 Designing
(Duration:M3-M5)
o Sub-task 1.2.1 Function design

the project activities in order to give the project the necessary feedback and international
visibility.
Exploitation of project results and wider project dissemination to enable partners to maximize
the commercialization of results post-project through workshops, information sessions and
roundtables. Any foreground IP that is developed in this project will be first fully protected prior
to any dissemination actions. The partners have joined this project to develop the technology
and to commercially benefit from its wider uptake and commercialization; as such they will all
be actively involved in this work package. Use will be made of latest guidance from the EC on
how to maximize the impact of research, development and demonstration projects to ensure that
the results are effectively used, through exploitation and dissemination.
Description of work (where appropriate, broken down into tasks), lead partner and role of
participants
Task 6.1 IPR management
(Task leader: KIMBCN, Duration: M1-M24)
The exploitation activities will be managed by the Dissemination and Exploitation Manager
(D&EM KIMBCN). In all such activities, it is crucial that:
o No intellectual property (IP) slips through the net and remains unexploited;
o No IP is disclosed to the public before it has been formally assessed and protected as
appropriate;
o The IP is as clean as possible i.e. the ownership is very clear.

sessions, etc.
The site will be periodically updated and sections will be changed according to the needs arising
during the project execution. The web platform of the consortium will play a central role for
communication, training, and the dissemination and exploitation of the results. A subset of the webbased technological platform will integrate results, guidelines, training tools, reports and databases
developed in the framework of the project, which will be accessible to both, private and public
institutions, under specified conditions and facilitate decisions about the technology up-taking. The
website visitors statistics will be included in annual reporting to the Commission. The website will
be linked to multiple other websites so that search engines can lead to the project website for new
comers. It will be kept updated with the results of the project, its acquisition, use status and the
implementation experiences of those organisations already using them.
o Sub-task 6.2.5 Dissemination to the wider public
(Sub-task leader: KIMBCN, Duration: M1-M24)
KIMBCN, together with all Partners, will find dissemination opportunities to the wider public
through the: participation in scientific events for the general public and appearing in the generalist
press (appearances in section "Entrepreneurship and Innovation"). The project will also be
disseminated in events taking place within the partner countries that are relevant to the project.

exploitation strategy.
This part of Valorization will include extended assessment of legal framework that might affect
exploitation strategy of project results.
o Subtask 6.3.4 Exploitation Strategy
(Sub-task leader: KIMBCN, Duration: M6-M24)
This will be the central part to define the Plan for Use and Dissemination document that will
incorporate the inputs from Subtasks 5.3.1, 5.3.2, 5.3.3 matching them with a tailor made
methodologies for commercialization of project results, with scenarios for each partner incorporated
as well as possible solutions for sharing the foreground generated jointly. Different scenarios will
be presented and evaluated by Steering Committee (SC) after each year of the project duration. The
feedbacks from SC will determine decision points for choosing market paths most effective for
consortium interests.
PUD will be set up through the Dissemination strategy, IPR Management strategy and the
exploitation strategy.

The project management structure was designed and agreed by the consortium members to ensure
an effective and straightforward project management mechanism. The main principles were to set
up and maintain an organisational structure that ensures the highest level technical and financial
implementation of the project and the efficient exploitation of the project results, supporting R&D
process focusing on product develepoment activities, an effective decision making structure, a
simple but accurate communication flow among the partners and between the consortium and the
Commission.
Taking these principles into consideration a detailed project management process description was
tailored to the special needs and characteristics of the consortium including levels and boards of
decision making, competences of the boards, communication processes, conflict resolution
processes. Project Management activities, which have a specific Work Package, are included in all
individual tasks as well and the developed structure and mechanisms will ensure a satisfactory plan
for the management of these activities.
3.2.1
Organisational structure
The Management Structure will be run in a similar manner to any competent industrial organisation,
with a clearly defined command structure, a communications strategy, democratic decision making
processes, methods for monitoring and reporting progress, and a well-defined work programme
with achievable and measurable deliverables.
Consortium Agreement, signed by the partners prior to the commencement of the project, will
further refine the internal structure and procedures on dissemination and use.
Two levels were implemented in the Management Structure: tasks are performed on the Operational
Level, while project decisions are reached on the Steering Level. The Operational level is divided to
general operation and technical operation. The aim of the technical operation part is to maintain the
development processes, to link the participants involved int he development processes and to
contribute to the knowledge sharing.
The Executive Board (Steering level) is the main decision-making body in technical and
management questions. All participants are represented on the Board and each member of the
Board shall have one (1) vote. The Board shall not deliberate and decide validly unless a
[InnovaWeb]
45
majority of its Members are present or represented (quorum). The decisions shall be taken by
simple majority vote (more than half of votes cast). The Executive Board will meet regularly, at
least 6 occasions during the project lifetime. Meetings will be chaired by the Technical Manager
on behalf of the Coordinator.
The Exploitation Board (Steering level) coordinates all tasks related to prospective exploitation
of project results. All participants are represented on the Board and each member of the Board
shall have one (1) vote. The Board shall not deliberate and decide validly unless a majority of its
Members are present or represented (quorum). The decisions shall be taken by simple majority
vote (more than half of votes cast). The Exploitation Board will meet regularly, min. 6 times
during the project. Meetings will be chaired by the Exploitation Manager.
Daily operation (General operation part) of the project is organized by the Work Package Leaders
(WPLs), who are responsible for coordinating and managing single work packages. They will lead
day-to-day coordination and control of respective project activities. Their tasks are crucial, as they
will lead and monitor task execution, delays, and performance quality. They control planning and
provide reminders for deliverable deadlines, coordinate plans for the subsequent work periods,
analyse risks and collect data for Commission reports. To carry out the their work properly the
WPLs will get technical support from the so called content managers (Technical operation part).
Each WP will have a content manager, they will provide the WPLs information on technical related
questions. The Coordinators content manager is the lead content manager. The WPLs will prepare
an assessment of scientific, technical and management progress and report it to the Executive Board
at the end of each 3-month period. WPLs and content managers have been selected based on proven
expertise in their fields. WPLs should also have the capacity to coordinate tasks assigned to each
WP.
Appropriate communication is the key to successful project implementation. Regular project
meetings are particularly important as it is an excellent plat-form for Consortium members to react
and control project progress. Therefore the Coordinator will convene both technical and
management meetings on a regular basis, as agreed by the Consortium members. In addition to the
general project meetings, other relevant internet-based communication and management tools will
be implemented. Within the consortium, the private section of the project website will serve as a
platform for document management and forum function will be implemented. A project e-mail
address is provided to all participants to facilitate communication within the Consortium. Technical
meetings will be held every 3 months with the WPLs and content managers, chaired by WPLs and
open to all consortium members. Theese mettings will review work progress and plan upcoming
work of WP execution, and analyse possible delays and conflicts. Two Reporting Tools will be
used. Theese tools based on Microsoft Excel will enable project participants to register and monitor
task compliance in terms of effort, time needed and costs incurred. The first tool will be used
monthly linked to the WPs, updated by the WPLs (simple status report), the second tool will be
used every 3 months involving all the partners (detailed status report). The goal is to help
participants deliver excellent performance and facilitate reporting. Project Reporting at month 9 and
month 24 by the WPLs will provide Coordinator with all information necessary to comply with
Commission reporting requirements.
The Coordinator will be the Chairman of the Executive Board. As Idea Originator, Enterprise
Hungary was chosen by the other beneficiaries to coordinate the project. Enterprise Hungary, being
the developer of the project proposal, has proven the ability to coordinate this Consortium which is
unanimously supported by the other participants. Moreover, Enterprise Hungary set up a team with
[InnovaWeb]
46
outstanding project management skills and knowledge of technical, financial and administrative
aspects of European research and development projects to deal with arising scientific, technical,
contractual, financial and administrative issues. Therefore besides the technical knowledge it
possesses also administrative resources crucial for effective organization of high value development
through integration of numerous performers. The team will consist of the Project Manager, Project
Coordinator, Technical manager and the Exploitation Manager. The Project Manager will help the
partners prepare reports, declare costs appropriately, keep records of administrative documents and
fulfil Commission requirements, among many other tasks. The Project Coordinator as the contact
point between the Commission and the consortium, will guarantee smooth and efficient
communication and information flow. Primary tasks of the Project Coordinator:
Acts as an Intermediary between consortium members and the Commission
Acts as intermediary between Consortium members and the rest of the consortium
Manages documents, collects and delivers legal, technical and financial documentation from
the consortium to the Commission, and vice-versa.
The Technical Manager will facilitate optimal project management and quality task implementation.
Primary tasks of the Technical Manager:
Monitors and coordinates tasks assigned to the Executive Board
Coordinates the execution of decisions made by the Executive Board
Acts as a Banker responsible for making payments approved by the Exploitation Board
Fosters consensus building among Consortium members
The Exploitation Manager was elected at the preparatory meeting of the Exploitation Board.
His primary tasks will be:
Responsible for the development of a rolling exploitation plan and business plan
Monitors and coordinates tasks assigned to the Exploitation Board
Coordinates the execution of decisions made by the Exploitation Board
Management related to IPR
3.2.2
Several procedures have been initially agreed upon, which will serve as the basis for the preparation
of the Consortium Agreement: Monitoring the projects progress & Communication Strategy
Monitoring and reporting progress will be carried out through a series of reports and meetings,
including regular visits by the Project Coordinator to Task leaders. To ensure that project results are
accurate and correctly reported, the Coordinator will ask all partners to keep detailed records of
input into the project using logbooks or a timecard system.
Technical Meetings will take place every 3 months in person or via web, with representatives of the
partners involved in the current tasks for that period. The partners will make presentations covering
the progress on each of the active tasks and the actions to be carried out for the following 3-month
period. The content of these Technical meetings will be recorded in minutes and circulated to all
partners, to ensure that there is a 3-monthly written record of progress. At M1, M3, M9, M12, M18
and M24 an Executive Board Meeting will take place with all members of the Executive Board and
both strategic and technical issues will be discussed. It will include a project progress review where
the WPLs will inform the Board about any relevant issue included in the review and assessment
forms. A report will be prepared and circulated to each of the partners, detailing the progress on
each of the tasks carried out in the previous phase and the performance against the project
milestones. At month 9, this report will be extended to detail progress during the first 9 months, the
achievement of key milestones, and will include a breakdown of the effort by each of the partners
during that period. Additionally, the results of the project, in terms of proof of principle. At
[InnovaWeb]

month 24, a periodic and a as well as a final report will cover the entire project, again including a
breakdown of the input of each partner.

Risk assessment
The risk in this ambitious project has been managed initially by breaking the work programme into
an achievable set of smaller developments, thus enabling the partners, as well as the Coordinator, to
monitor progress and measure the progressive reduction in risk. Inter-relationships between
individual and in particular, high-risk Work Packages and tasks have been evaluated. A periodic
review and assessment form will include the results of the risk analysis. Enterprise Hungary has
implemented a quality management system to ensure quality and transparency of the project
coordination and execution related tasks as per their usual business routine.
3.2.4
It will be the responsibility of Enterprise Hungary, as Chairman of the Executive Board, to seek
consensus on project steering; however, in case of disputes, decisions will be made by a majority
vote. Every party has one vote. Special decision-making procedures have been agreed upon to
ensure the work performed is of the highest quality. The partners will be subject to general practices
for outsourcing contractors and mechanisms for monitoring, for taking remedial actions or even for
the replacement of a defaulting contractor, responsibilities that will be detailed prior to the starting
date of the project through the Consortium Agreement. Management structure and business
implementation procedures have been clearly defined and agreed upon to preclude conflicts among
consortium members. Potential conflicts have been identified by the partners and a conflict
resolution strategy has been initially agreed on and is briefly defined below (and further be detailed
in the Consortium Agreement):
Disputes of a scientific nature (to be detailed in the Consortium Agreement): If a conflict
arises that cannot be resolved after consultation with the partners, all partners will submit, in
writing, to the Executive Board, details of their technical approach and solution to the
conflict. Should it be deemed necessary by the Executive Board, an independent Third Party
will be contracted to review the different solutions suggested. The Third Party will be
independent of the patners and selected by them, who will provide feedback to the conflict.
A course of action will then be decided by the Executive Board.
3.2.5
Innovation management
The project will follow the ECs guidelines for intellectual property (IP) management and will also
keep up to date with all EC recommendations on IP management. The EC has identified in the
[InnovaWeb]
48
policy initiative on key enabling technologies; It may be relatively easy for competitors or
imitators to catch up and take many potential profits from the original inventor, if intellectual
property rights are not effectively protected and enforced internationally. Intellectual Property
Rights (IPR) are legally enforceable rights over the use of inventions or other creative works. They
confer the right to exclude others from their use. They are valuable in helping businesses
differentiate themselves from competitors and to create revenue generating opportunities. Common
protection methods are; patents, trademarks, design protection and confidentiality agreements.
According to EC guidelines there are two types of IP: Background and Foreground.
The exploitation activities will be managed by the Exploitation Manager, whose activities will
therefore be to ensure that:
All Foreground IP is identified as it is created through liaison of the Exploitation Manager
with the appointed representative of each partner in the consortium;
All Foreground IP is assessed by the Executive Board and its future is determined;
All Foreground IP is protected, as appropriate, before any public disclosure;
An Innovation Notification System (INS) will be used which will be in the private section of the
project website and which will be open to all partners. Each idea/project result notified through the
INS will be initially assessed by the Exploitation Manager who will make recommendations to the
Executive Board concerning the need/strategy for protection of each output. The Executive Board
will decide on the appropriate protection strategy coming to an agreement with the partner/partners
involved in the foreground. The identification of the Foreground IP, its assessment by the Executive
Board and its protection as appropriate will be reported to all partners by the Exploitation Manager
at annual intervals throughout the project. At the end of the project a protection analysis report will
be included in the PUD (plan of Use and Dissemination).
IP Protection Analysis report: relevant (un)covered aspects of the technologies under development
will be identified, in order to ensure competitive advantages once the final applications will be
proposed to external end users, for market exploitation.
The organisation and management of Foreground IP will be through the following recognised steps:
1. Identify: The Exploitation Manager will have overall responsibility to identify protectable
Foreground IP and to build on existing IP searches, in particular patents, both from within and
outside the consortium. The Exploitation Manager will be supported by the WPLs, who will
regularly inform about opportunities for the generation of IP. All records associated with this
Foreground IP identification will be available to other consortium members through the dedicated
project website.
2. Assess: The Executive Board will agree on the most appropriate strategy for the protection of
each individual item of Foreground IP identified. The Exploitation Manager will report in every 6
month progress on any identification activities and the Board will assess the IP identified and agree
on actions to be undertaken in the period after the meeting. In addition and where appropriate board
members will communicate on progress between these meetings.
3. Protect: Protection of Foreground IP emerging from this project will be the responsibility of the
Explittaion Manager. All consortium members will be required to retain full records of the design
and development process in order to facilitate the protection of this Foreground IP and new
opportunities for their respective Background IP. In the project budget, subcontracting costs are
planned for patent agent consultancy and IPR protection.
[InnovaWeb]
49
4. Exploit and Disseminate: Once IP protection has been assured; dissemination will then take place
as described in section 2.2 of this proposal. Dissemination is a very useful mechanism for engaging
the wider community including potential customers. Fundamental to the Exploitation Strategy of
this project is that dissemination activities will only take place after the IP has been protected.
3.2.6
During realization of the project, all payments must be authorized by the Exploitation Board. These
preventive measures will fully protect partners against any underperforming participant. The
Coordinator would simply act as a banker for the consortium, responsible for executing payments
following the Exploittaion Boards decisions.
3.2.7
The Executive Board may decide to declare a Partner to be a Defaulting Partner if that Partner fails
to carry out project tasks agreed upon in the Grant Agreement. If the Executive Board identifies a
Defaulting partner, the Coordinator will give written notice stating reasons for concern to the nonperforming partner and requesting corrective actions within 30 calendar days. If corrective actions
are not taken and non-performance remains evident, the Executive Board may declare the partner to
be a defaulting party and decide to terminate and/or replace that party. It will then be the
Coordinators task to accomplish the required amendments to the Grant Agreement.
3.3
Consortium as a whole
The composition of the Consortium reflects the complexity of the project. Each partners have
different professional background and different expertise, which match nicely.
The five partners of Innova Web are from 4 different member states and include one university, an
incubator, business representation organisation and to other non profit organisations. All the
partners are non profit organisations.
In the center of the partnership there are intellectual sparks of talented students of research
universities, young adults and startups web entreprenuers as targeted groups the Consortium
members have been supporting for many years.
To achieve the objectives of the project, the collective partnership of the consortium requires high
level expertise and experience not only for the local but also for European representation of the
project .
For the tasks in Innova Web outstanding experts in their field have been assembled. A key success
factor for this integrated project is to cover the complete value chain to be able to come up with a
new generation of platforms with integrated services for web entrepreneurs. The project is set-up in
a way that all participants are closely linked to each other but carry out complementary tasks.
Partnership members are carefully selected to perform tasks and deliver services with the highest
possible value both from professional and operational capacity aspects. Management of the project
is based on team logic, meaning that each partner has different strength and together we can achive
more with added values using the interdisciplinary appoach.
[InnovaWeb]
50
The applied knowledge is connected not only locally but also at a European level, while thinking
globally, as reflected in the composition of the consortium. Geographical coverage is also taken into
consideration with special care for both the economically advantaged and disadvantaged areas of
Europe.
The fact that there are documents attached to the project proposal as written evidences of support
coming from other external partners, eg. 22 Network and Business Europe is a string added value to
the partnership. Through these large international networks a massive number of web entreprenuers
will be reached and involved int he project.
In the center of the partnership there are intellectual sparks of talented students of research
universities, young adults and startups web enetreprenuers as targeted groups the Consortium
members have been supporting for many years.
The Consortium is the right partneship for transforming sparks to business ideas and then into
products equipped with all the necessary IRP and marketing mechanisms. Partners possess all core
competences needed for this nurturing process.
This partnership is composed in a way to ensure a professional innovation chain by involving
different networks of organisations with different profiles that are involved in different stages of
innovation (research, product and business development, training/digital learning
incubation/innovation, market scanning, dissemination and exploitation).
[InnovaWeb]

learning
During the project we will set up education and consulting services first in Hungary in nine
(9) educational institutions to support the start-up initiatives as a pilot to demonstrate and
validate the operation of the proposed concept. Through these activities and services the
project will provide an opportunity for start-ups to get from the pre-seed phase to the
seed phase.
The platform will utilize the knowledge, technologies and best practices assembled in close
collaboration of all the project partners during the previous phase and will be available for all
the European young entrepreneurs.
Creating a system of online societies and real, on-site meeting points: establishing
forums, competitions and other events with the involvement of local partners, start-up
workshops and incubators. Providing constant presence and appropriate information

Dear Mr Wimmer,
the project aims at creating a supportive environment for the European ICT
start-up ecosystem by helping ICT start-ups to advance to the seed phase of
development, increasing the number of new start-ups, and developing
educational services to help support start-ups during the pre-seed phase;
the project vision is to serve as the connection that advances the young
innovators from the development of an idea to the creation of profitable
businesses.
We sincerely hope that this project will attract the attention and support of the
European Commission, given its strong relevance for promoting growth and
entrepreneurship.
We would of course be happy to disseminate the project results to our members.
