After analysing the project, the innovations were categorized following these three areas:

Market Maturity: Exploring- These are innovations that are actively exploring value creation opportunities.

Market Creation Potential  This innovation was assessed by the JRC’s Market Creation Potential indicator framework as addressing the needs of existing markets and existing customers.
