FutureEnterprise aims at opening new avenues for Internet-based Enterprise innovation by supporting and coordinating the research activities in Future Internet from the perspective and for the benefit of enterprises on the basis of an open mentality to bridge the past (FP7) with the future (Horizon 2020). Combining a community-driven approach with Web 2.0 collaboration tools, FutureEnterprise will fully align the scope of its activities to the priorities of DG CONNECT Unit E3: Net Innovation.
In FutureEnterprise, bridging research with entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role, which is driven by the consolidation of research results produced by the FP7 projects of the domain and their provision as digital innovation elements / entrepreneurship ‘seeds’. With regard to the roadmapping activities, FutureEnterprise will deliver crowdsourcing-driven, iterative and live versions of a research roadmap on new forms of Internet-based Enterprise innovation. Taking into account the transition to new EU-funded programmes, FutureEnterprise will also provide concrete recommendations toward Horizon 2020 for policy makers and the EC, treating Digital Enterprise, Web Entrepreneurship, Future Internet PPP and CAPS under a common perspective.
