Sustainable Places 2025 – DEDALUS at the workshop on the replicability and upscaling strategies

October 6th, 2025

Organized by ICONS, a partner of DEDALUS, the session highlights replicability and upscaling as key drivers for moving from pilot projects to large-scale market deployment, alongside SUPERSHINE, InEEXs, RENplusHOMES, and SIRCULAR.

The European project DEDALUS will take part in the workshop "From Demonstration to Deployment: Bridging the gap to market uptake", organised by ICONS as part of Sustainable Places 2025, which will take place in Milan (Italy) from 8 to 10 October 2025.

The session addresses a critical challenge faced by many EU-funded projects: ensuring that innovative solutions tested under pilot or demonstration conditions can be successfully replicated and scaled up, delivering tangible and long-lasting impact beyond the boundaries of a single project.

The workshop will therefore explore how to transition from experimentation to real deployment, considering not only technological readiness but also the socio-economic, regulatory, and community dimensions that shape the adoption of innovation.

DEDALUS will share its experience in testing and validating innovative models and technologies in the field of its pilots, with a strong focus on replicability strategies and on the conditions that enable upscaling across different contexts. The projec, in fact, is exploring how digitalisation, community engagement, and sustainable business models can accelerate the transition from local pilot initiatives to widespread adoption across Europe.

Alongside DEDALUS, other EU projects—SUPERSHINE, InEEXs, RENplusHOMES, and SIRCULAR—will present their own perspectives, challenges, and lessons learned.

Together, they will provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and bottlenecks that characterise the path from demonstration to deployment.

For DEDALUS, this participation is both a recognition of the project's commitment to ensuring the transferability of its results and a valuable opportunity for cross-fertilisation with other initiatives at European level.

The session will take place on Thursday, 9 October 2025, at 4 PM (CEST) in Room 7 at Monterosa 91, Milan.
