Exploitation Paths

The exploitation and sustainability plan of the Data and Application Tracking asset is based on the increasing need to track the usage of personal identifiable data. Some results of the project have been used in presentations to prospective companies and used in submissions to follow up projects. As an example of a company the asset has been presented is VSOFT (from Brazil) which provides cloud-based solutions for multi-biometric identification. An example of a follow-up project is the submission to the Conecta Startup Brasil, a funding opportunity to take innovative ideas into enterprise environments.
