3. The partnership
To tackle the challenges of the project a founding consortium has been formed, consisting of initially 3, now 4 R&D institutes, 2 industrial flex manufacturers, 2 large end-users and a technology support agency for financial and administrative management. Part of the budget was reserved for the integration of additional partners. Competitive calls resulted in the extension of the partnership with OTICON S/A, ZARLINK Ltd. , ANDUS GmbH and ACB n.v. . Demonstrators for hearing-aid and RF-applications will be developed using IP SHIFT technologies.
