This accompanying measure of the IST program supported 21 Technology Transfer Nodes that transferred high performance computing and networking technology to the European industry through 180 projects, including over 600 companies.
The whole emphasis of the TTN Network was on Marketing and Business Planning. All projects were required to justify the benefits of adopting the HPCN technology in their own particular business circumstances. This meant that the coordination activity became in effect a strategic consultancy and evaluation task. NEXTURE (ex ARTTIC Italy, subsidiary of the ARTTIC Group, later business partner of NEXTURE) supported the provision of guidelines, quality control, training, co-ordination of activities and dissemination services.
