WP8 - D8.16 Revised Final Report of the InHabit - Replicable Business Models to boost IHW

The deliverable, D8.16 ” Replicable Business Models to Boost Inclusive Health and Wellbeing “, identifiessummarises the most promising Business models that have emerged from the IN-HABIT Project and havereplication potential. This document provide Stakeholders with solutions that are contextually relevantand socially impactful. Ultimately, it provides the necessary framework for the development of cities,contributing to a more equitable and sustainable future for all European cities. The IN-HABIT Project was implemented in four different small and medium sized cities in Europe:Córdoba (Spain), Lucca (Italy), Riga (Latvia), and Nitra (Slovakia). The purpose of the IN-HABIT Projectwas to identify and implement visionary solutions to increase health and well-being through the use ofunderutilized resources including culture; art; food; human-animal interaction; and urban rewilding, whileensuring that gender, diversity, and equity were embedded as cross-cutting principles. The 16 replicable business models outlined in this report were chosen after a thorough assessment. Ofthose models, eight came from pilot projects conducted by the IN-HABIT Partners’ team which focusedon a number of topics including animal-assisted therapy, vocational training programs for people withdisabilities, bike-share programs, reviving food markets and environmental monitoring. The remainingeight models were selected from the B4B Inclusive Business Incubator Programme by the Bridge forBillions (B4B) Team, one model per pilot city with a focus on six themes (sustainable food systems,mental health, rural development, circular economy, and digital skills); these models show howunderutilized resources can be used to enhance inclusive well-being through a variety of methods. Decision-makers can use the models in order to develop practical solutions that can be used inconjunction with some EU initiatives i.e., European Green Deal, One Health initiative and Urban Agendafor the EU. Communities will have new opportunities to build on their community based social cohesionand reduce their levels of isolation; thus, enabling them to adopt healthier lifestyle choices. The modelsrepresent avenues for entrepreneurs to pursue socially inclusive business ventures; therefore, allowingfor new venture creation with both an economic and a social value. The portfolio was developed using a Dual-Stream innovation selection methodology. Thismethodology is designed to ensure that both the level of institutional robustness of the candidateinnovations and the level of entrepreneurial agility of the candidate innovations were considered whenevaluating the potential for success. Using the Societal Readiness Level (SRL), and Technology ReadinessLevel (TRL) methodologies, the B4B Team and the Partners’ Consortium evaluated the candidateinnovations to ensure that they had reached a mature level of readiness. The data that was collected wasobtained through the completion of self-assessment questionnaires by the innovators, participation incollaborative workshops with the pilot partners, and the application of the Social Business Model Canvasto map the business model for each of the solutions presented.

What is protectable —and therefore subject to the project’s permission for replication — are the concrete expressions of thoseideas: the software code, written content, visual designs, datasets, brand names, logos, and other tangibleoutputs developed by IN-HABIT. These are safeguarded through a combination of copyright, Communitydesign rights, sui generis database rights, and the IN-HABIT EU trademark. This legal protection does notprevent third parties from developing their own solutions inspired by these models; however, the directreuse of IN-HABIT’s protected materials, branding, or data requires compliance with the applicablelicences (e.g., Apache 2.0, Creative Commons) or, where relevant, a commercial agreement. This approachstrikes a balance between encouraging the broad uptake of IN-HABIT’s innovations and ensuring that anyreplication remains aligned with the project’s quality standards, social mission, and sustainability goals.
