Research, Development and Innovation

DBC diadikasia offers advisory and research services in the framework of research projects and proposals under national and European research programmes such as HORIZON 2020. Our role is to support the transition process from research to innovation to market placement and to secure long and lasting impact of the results. Our product commercialisation roadmaps provide assessments of which markets first to address, what types of collaboration models to be adopted and which steps to be taken to support large scale roll-out of the prototype outcomes. In addition, consideration of the forces of the full value chain completes the picture and provides an appreciation of the true replication potential.
