D4.5: XGain Business models (1st version)

This document is deliverable D4.5 “XGain Business Models”, the first report from Task 4.3 (Business Model Development and Assessment of Last-mile and Edge Technological Solutions), out of a total of two iterations to be carried out during the XGain project. The goal of this report is to provide innovative Business Models for three categories of actors i) End users (e.g., farmers and their associations, elderly houses, oyster farms, SMEs, etc.), ii) Public Authorities, and iii) Internet Service Providers (ISPs), based on their connectivity needs and ambitions for a number of sectors, services and actuators based upon 6 real life use cases. By taking into consideration the techno-economic feasibility as well as social and environmental impacts, XGain aims to develop new business models. The indicative Business Models will be incorporated into the Knowledge Facilitation Tool in order to be organised and give the possibility to key stakeholders to choose the most appropriate one.
