Business Brainstorming in Brussels

The EPIC project consortium joined forces at Deloitte’s offices in Brussels on Thursday 29 November to facilitate a workshop on developing an effective business model to ensure the sustainability of EPIC’s impact after the project funding ends next year.  On a project level the EPIC solution elements consist of a pan-European Cloud infrastructure for the public sector, with a catalogue of services that help solve specific policy challenges and a Smart Cities Roadmap that help cities adopt the cloud for smarter working.  The workshop provided a first step in understanding how the elements could be broken down and repackaged in order to define commercial solutions that generate value for the target audiences – a challenging task for the next eight months of the project.
