Test activities in the territory aiming at implementing and concretising the overall objectives of a project.
They are embedded in a transnational framework and concretely implemented at local level (in identified areas) in order to test the use of a particular methodology, technology, concept, model, tool, etc. developed during the project, and thus to link theoretical concepts with actual practice.
Pilot activities should be generally able to trigger new investments, contribute to local development plans in a specific sector and foster the development of innovative businesses.
From a strategic perspective, they are important in order to ensure that the project results are both implementable and transferable.

Examples:

• Setting up and test of a prototype (of a Virtual Power Plant) in the Ällgäu region.
• Implementation of a pilot infrastructure for e-bike with solar charging systems in Salzburg. 
  

• Setting up of a regional network of small integrated multiservice shop-centers in Upper Savoy

All project partners of a project other than the Lead Partner.
