Roadmapping workshop

Take HOME Messages

For SOCIETY

  • Can we join forces with the digitalisation?
  • Smartphone and internet changed the way we act immensely.
  • 35% of in-store purchases are influenced by media, for example because people orientate online, or because they buy online. So how are packaging lining up with this?
  • Means of production & changes in society need to come together.

For INDUSTRY

  • Clearer, non-interpretable, communication of the benefits of active and intelligent features
  • Any print is space on packaging, which costs money, so it can be a barrier to include enough info on the A&I characteristics.

For RESEARCH

  • Dissemination of scientific results is important, but communication of the results outside the scientific network is maybe even more important to create awareness and understanding.
  • It is important to integrate trends in research activities; only 30% of research will be successful.
