Booster Propels S-X-AIPI's Self-X AI for Industrial Market Entry
About
Booster provides expert strategic guidance to EU-funded projects, helping translate groundbreaking innovations into market-ready solutions. In this case, Booster supported S-X-AIPI, a Horizon Europe project that developed a modular, scalable, and interoperable trustworthy self-X AI toolset for the European Process Industry. This advanced technology enables AI systems to autonomously self-learn, self-adapt, self-heal, self-optimise, and self-manage, thereby minimising human involvement and accelerating digital transformation towards a sustainable and agile industrial future.
The Challenge
What went wrong
The European Process Industry faces a significant challenge in adopting advanced AI, particularly within complex environments often reliant on legacy systems, to enhance efficiency and sustainability. S-X-AIPI successfully developed cutting-edge self-X AI technologies designed to reduce human intervention and improve industrial processes. However, transforming these sophisticated technological advancements into widespread industrial adoption required more than just successful development. The project needed expert guidance to:
- Ensure practical and economically viable AI deployment.
- Translate research findings into tangible market solutions.
- Develop clear market strategies and robust business models for its innovative toolset.
- Align exploitation pathways and intellectual property strategies among its diverse consortium partners.
Solution Approach
How it was solved
Booster provided comprehensive strategic support to S-X-AIPI through its specialized business plan development and Go-to-Market services. This tailored approach included:
- Strategic Mentoring: Offering expert guidance to S-X-AIPI's team, focusing on refining their Key Exploitable Results.
- Market Alignment: Assisting in precisely aligning innovations with specific market needs and identifying compelling user value propositions.
- Business Model Development: Crafting robust business models and defining clear, actionable exploitation pathways for the advanced AI toolset.
- IPR Strategy Integration: Supporting the integration of Intellectual Property Rights strategies into the overall market approach.
This structured methodology enabled S-X-AIPI to bridge the critical gap between cutting-edge research and effective industrial market readiness.
Results Achieved
Success Metrics
Booster's strategic intervention significantly enhanced S-X-AIPI's market readiness and strengthened its strategic positioning for industrial uptake:

Alessandro Castellano

🏢 S-X-AIPI Project (funded under Horizon Europe)
Working with Booster on the S-X-AIPI project was truly transformative. We had developed cutting-edge self-X AI technologies (self-improving, self-healing, and self-adapting) for four demanding European process industries, but turning excellent research into market-ready solutions with real industrial adoption remained a major challenge.
Booster delivered far more than standard consulting. From day one, their team quickly grasped our complex AI solutions and helped us translate them into clear, compelling value propositions that resonate with industry. Through intensive mentoring, they guided us in refining our Key Exploitable Results, identifying the most promising market segments, and building robust, realistic business models tailored to each outcome.
What impressed me most was their ability to align a diverse 12-partner consortium. Thanks to Booster’s structured workshops and updated Business Model Canvases, we achieved full agreement on exploitation pathways and a coherent IPR strategy that balances protection with commercial collaboration — something many large EU projects never manage.
The impact is clear: our innovations are now market-ready, with defined pricing, go-to-market roadmaps, identified early adopters, and solid post-project revenue projections. The structured exploitation methodology they introduced will serve us long after the project ends.
In short, Booster didn’t just improve our plan — they gave us the strategic clarity and confidence to successfully deploy advanced self-X AI in real industrial environments. Without their expertise, our journey from research excellence to market impact would have been far slower and riskier.
Strongly recommended for any R&D project serious about industrial uptake.
