Sirris & Agoria identified this theme

as highly important for the technology industry

because of its disruptive potential

to create new innovative products

and so creating sustainable growth

SMART as a Product or Technology Strategy


Definition of SMART: a tentative consensus

A Smart Product • uses information about itself, other products, or its

environment • to provide new or multiple functionalities • that are able to differentiate the product in a particular

market

A smart technology • can be turned into an offering • that enables other products to become smart products



• Smart composites • Smart body protection • Smart eco-system infrastructure • Smart learning • Smart systems • Smart fertilizing

Too many opportunities…

• Technology related themes • E.g. Material based technologies and ICT

• Product & market related themes • E.g. New application domains

• Product engineering related themes • E.g. Key design constraints (safer, faster,…)

• Business related themes • E.g. new business models

Clearly a more complex discussion combining

new investments, new revenue streams, new markets…



Where to start?

Smart Products & new business models have great potential, but many challenges remain…

• Can be very disruptive to apply • Need for out of the box thinking

• Which technologies to apply?

• Need for technology watch specifically for Smart Products

• Which are the specific opportunities for your product? • E.g. Personalized content search (still available restos on Saturday) • E.g. wake up call combining planning and traffic information

Need for a structured think framework

• Can have a large impact not only on the product but also the business model

• Need for careful realization planning • Need for risk assessment
