Business Development was an important task in the second half of the SAMS project. We conducted a market survey to contextualize local scenarios, developed 54 Business Models suitable for Ethiopia, Indonesia and Europe, and provided information on funding and licencing opportunities, labels and certificates for bee products.

SAMS - Business Models

The SAMS Business Models range from honey reselling, digital marketplaces, beekeeping supply and logistic, food and beverages (honey derivative products), beekeeping products for health and beauty to tourism, capacity building and professional consultancy, education and technology incl. remote monitoring beehives, decision support system (DSS), printed circuit boards (PCB) and Data Warehouse. 

The core and business range in Ethiopia, Indonesia and Europe differs from each other since the apiculture sector of each country is in a different stage. Considering the country needs (see also D2.3 Results of Market Survey) in the business development activities, the Ethiopian, Indonesian and European SAMS Business Models cover the following core and business range:
