Business model for Digital Platforms: A co-design workshop for digital platforms in Energy, Manufacturing, Agrifood and Healthcare

Digital Platforms have a disruptive impact on industry value chains and organisations which are the providers and users of digital platforms. In order to take advantage of the opportunities and control the risks of change, innovative business models are needed to adapt the business and operational processes, redefining the customer journey and value proposition, discovering new channels and stakeholders engagement models, and creating innovative monetization models. However, the development of a proper business model to accelerate the commercialization of the digital platform is challenging and not a straightforward journey for many European projects including the large-scale pilots of digital platforms. 

This workshop is organised by OPEN DEI in collaboration with EU-IoT and aims at supporting the projects in designing the business model for their digital platforms. The event is organized in three main parts. In the first part, an overview and introduction of the business modelling methodology will be presented to the participants. In the second part, participants will be divided into 4 groups (Energy, Manufacturing, Agrifood and Healthcare) and based on the presented methodology in part 1 will work together to co-design a domain-based business model. Finally, in part 3, each group moderator will present the designed business model for the domain to all the participants.
