The Integrate phase for the Open Call 2 scale-ups has officially started: from the 16 that made it to the end of the Develop phase, 12 have been selected to continue the STADIEM journey.
The selected solutions will be now engaged – until April 2023 – in initiating integration and testing, or pre-pilot activities for public pilots with the respective corporate partners acquired over the previous phases, around their exciting Next Generation Media concepts. This will also include internal testing and evaluation of business processes and performance, technologies, and solutions, to bring the scale-up and corporate collaboration to the next level.
