To achieve the project objectives, the proposers with their unique background deriving from the implementation of several analogous actions, will focus on the following activities: • Identify opportunities in the Security technology supply chain. This will be achieved through the involvement of key stakeholders such as Large Organizations and RTD performers • Identify organizations (mainly SMEs) not involved in such technological supply chain to stimulate and favor their capability to enter in such market • Set up meta-clusters of SMEs defined around specific parameters/competences of specific interest of categories of stakeholders in the security domain. This will include the implementation of IT communication means (web portal and Database of pre-qualified SMEs) that will favor the connection of SMEs with the key stakeholders in the Security domain • Set up communication and networking actions that will favor the entrance of organizations (mainly SMEs) in the security technological supply chain, including the setting up of workshops and webinars, the implementation of technology transfer tools available from the web site to allow the dialogue and the exchange of information related to the identified market opportunities towards the registered (in the db) organizations. • Facilitate the setting up of RTD and Take Up actions in the security sector where SMEs and other identified organizations could join stakeholders and integrators of the security supply chain.
