HOLA! Project is an FP7 Coordination Action focused in the area of Internet of Services, aiming at improving collaboration amongst the stakeholders in the area, managing joint knowledge and enhancing visibility of projects’ results.
Within this context, HOLA! has developed a portfolio of products for:
– Facilitating continuous collaboration within concrete R&D areas or communities across distributed geographic areas, also promoting the creation of synergies with other areas or communities potentially related. These services are mainly offered via the HOLA! Portal (www.holaportal.eu).
“Although at present HOLA! Portal is focused in the IoS Community within the European Framework Programme, we are already negotiating with other R&D areas and communities for somehow replicating this concept with them, also defining the strategy to integrate all of them for the creation of horizontal synergies”, explains Eva García Muntión, representative of RTDI, the HOLA! Partner leading the offering of services from HOLA!
“This Portal, offers projects and entities the opportunity for an increased and permanent visibility in the Internet, interconnected with all other projects and stakeholders in the same R&D area and beyond. It also offers collaborative & networking functionalities, and complies with high usability and quality standards. Optional advanced features are coming soon”.
– Helping projects and entities in promoting and using their R&D results. Video clips created for the winners of the contest described are an example of the services projects and entities dealing with R&D and innovation can access through HOLA! in order to increase their potential for exploitation and continuity. We also offer services related to the organization of events and defining full business models, strategies and plans for the exploitation of new technologies.
