The key data concerning Member States was collected by the Market-up team and provided to Transport NCP‟s for validation purposes. Market-up team is particularly thankful to the NCPs from Denmark, Austria, Latvia, Portugal, Slovakia, France and Lithuania for their contribution in the review of our findings. Opinions on main findings on barriers and particularly those faced by the transport SMEs were discussed with Technological Platforms during data collection and specific discussion topics have circulated and feedback asked for. Main findings from D2.1 were also presented in the Review Workshop held on the 26th October in Brussels, which discussion helped to improve our analysis and to enrich the discussion on perspectives for innovation in the transport sector.
