Thegoalofthisworkshopwastopresentanddiscusswithinvitedstakeholderstheinitialachievementsinthe development of an innovative methodology for performing strategic technology foresight in thedefencedomain.

The main focus was made on information sources and data collection in the process of developing ofstrategictechnologyforesightmethodology.

The participants were invited to share their experiences in data analysis and technology forecasts fromtheir dailywork. Best practiceswere discussed togetherwith end-user requirements, operational inputsand information sources used, in the attempt to identify themost relevant data and technology-relatedinformation (such as technology patents, scientific publications, prototype descriptions, disseminatedmarketing communications and press releases, industry production& sales public reports, socialmedia,etc.)
