R&D partnership portfolios and the inflow of technological knowledge
Companies' early-stage research and development efforts are extremely
uncertain and research has often argued that companies should form one
technology-development alliance at a time to see if a new technology may have
potential. The drawback of such a sequential approach is that companies are
left empty-handed in case that one alliance does not produce any results.
The portfolio perspective as proposed in this research instead argues that in
the face of severe uncertainty, companies should engage in multiple
simultaneous alliances in order to distinguish quickly between technological
dead-ends and promising new technologies.

Pathways to commercial windpower in the US, Europe and Japan: the role of demonstration projects and field trials in the innovation process
Wind demonstration projects and trials DTs appear to have neither enabled participating manufacturers to become significant global suppliers -with a few exceptions driven by additional financial and legislative support from national governments- nor to have established a dominant design.

Public demonstration projects and field trials: accelerating commercialisation of sustainable technology in solar photovoltaics
We find that DTs that are aimed purely at discovering suitable market opportunities are less successful in achieving diffusion than projects that target a particular application and concentrate resources on it.

So what do innovating companies really get from publicly funded demonstration projects and trials? innovation lessons from solar photovoltaics and wind
Following development of a comprehensive database of demonstration projects and trials (DTs), fifteen company cases have been developed on solar PV with nine on wind turbines to establish what benefits they deliver. These provide comprehensive lessons for the design, management and coordination of future DTprogrammes in low carbon energy technology.
