ATTRACT showroom: meet the funded projects

ATTRACT showroom: meet the funded projects

The ATTRACT Showroom, a virtual platform which contains the most relevant information about each of the funded projects during phase 2, has just been launched. The showroom will serve as the central hub for all 36 funded projects: the 18 R&D&I projects in which researchers will have to consider how to advance the proofs-of-concept from phase 1 into something that is far closer to a marketable product and that generates new business for citizens.
