Co-founder of the EUGENIUS association, SPACEBEL took the floor during the final workshop of the European H2020 EUGENIUS project (grant agreement Nr 730150) on October 23rd 2018 in Brussels.

As the project is coming to an end, representatives of the affiliated SMEs gathered to present the EUGENIUS network concepts, the regional digital platforms and a market assessment study along with success stories of use cases in Occitanie (France), Grand-Est (France), Greece, Wallonia (Belgium), Puglia (Italy).

The overall conclusions are very positive:

• End-users are satisfied with the proposed distant applicative tools thanks to a regional contact.
• There definitely is a sustainable market for all applicative tools in the network.
