Accelerate

The first goal of Accelerate is to enable the knowledge transfer on a massive scale. To support this goal, the project will deliver the following technical innovations:

• Innovation Target 1.1. Innovative ICT Technologies to support transfer of acceleration knowledge on a massive scale in Europe
• Innovation Target 1.2. Virtual collaboration workspaces for Acceleration

To increase competitiveness of the European industry, drastically accelerating the process of validated learning is inescapable. The Accelerate consortium sees a unique opportunity for ICT technology to play a pivotal role in this acceleration. Therefore, a second goal of the Accelerate project is to develop software technologies that will enable aforementioned acceleration:

• Innovation Target 2.1. Acceleration of the decision support dashboards
• Innovation Target 2.2. Technologies for capturing and modelling data for validated learning
• Innovation Target 2.3. Technological infrastructures for running validated learning experiments

Accelerate will develop and validate the project results in several European industry domains (represented by large industry partners in the consortium) in Northern, Central and Southern Europe. The goal of the project is to support companies in accelerating their innovations in different domains.

The figure below links the main objectives of the project with the technological innovation associated to them:

In order to achieve the goals, the following innovations will be developed:

• Individual industrial use-cases showing the rapid “go to market” -approach for innovations in different domains.
• Creation of a pan-European co-working space for acceleration of European technology companies, including Acceleration platform, dashboard and toolbox.
• Creation of an “umbrella” organization to ensure the innovative acceleration technologies and services can be utilised by industries European-wide.
