Research of what payment solution is needed to reach a certain market has been done. Seven prominent local european payment options covering most of the major local ways of internet payments has been added. The research with MEDEA has resulted in an extensive report that covers cultural differences as well as best ways to communicate the Flattr concept to the large cultures/countries.

Långsiktiga effekter som förväntas

This project has given us a great foundation and the understanding we need to reach the cultural markets that we did not prior to this project. It will also help us in the long term to set goals, prioritize regions and cultures. The localization of Flattr has also made local partnerships possible. The first cooperation is with Telenors ISP: Bredbandsbolaget. This Vinnova project has even further strengthened our position as market leader in the social micro-payments field. This gives us a much better position if/when any competing company is entering the market.
