A market penetration of €30M sales pa plus €60M pa in EU direct industry savings/benefits are sought. • Customers/ buyers. End Users, Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, NDT Inspection Companies in the Power Generation (Nuclear Power Plant – NPP), Gas & Water Utilities, Mining industry and Process Plant industries. • A unique TRL9 product that has been made suitable for industry use i.e. radiation hardened, ingress protected, site ruggedized, automated data analysis software, validated with appropriate standards, will meet target industry specific inspection applications. • Consortium ROI= 10:1 Total EU ROI= 33:1 ver más
