“Sustainability and assessment methodology” has been successfully uploaded in the EE platform. The document describes the general methodological framework to be utilized for the assessment of NEANIAS’ business perspectives and innovation cases.

To achieve this task, several methodologies are being employed that enable the identification and detailed description of the external and internal factors that can potentially influence the NEANIAS ecosystem. More specifically, the market analysis deconstructs the economic environment that NEANIAS is expected to be a part of, drawing useful conclusions about the existent economic forces. Then, the business modelling looks to further understand the NEANIAS services and its surroundings, understanding how they can interconnect with each other, a foundational part of the analysis that can enable sustainability through the provision of invaluable information. All gathered intelligence regarding the services and the market is leveraged by the technoeconomic model that translates detailed information into numerical values, particularly monetary ones. These can be directly used for the evaluation of the project’s sustainability, regarding business perspectives through market analysis, business modelling, technoeconomic analysis, and cost-benefit analysis for each service for providing internal feedback to service providers.
