Below is the high level tentative overview of Roadmap, Milestones & Deliverables that the Ambrosus Team outlines for the next 3 years, following the TGE.

September 2017

Release of Proof of Concept for the core protocol, sensor prototypes, demo of Ethereum blockchain-based decentralised applications and marketplace. Launch of the exchange platform demo.

September-October 2017

Token Generation Event

October 2017

Release of Alpha-version of Supply Chain Management Protocol; Release of Proof-of-Concept for sensing system, edge and central gateways.

November 2017

Release of Alpha-version of the quality-driven decentralised marketplace for food and commodities. Final architecture and development of customized data center and tailor-made API. Selection and testing of encryption methods.

December 2017

Release of an Alpha-version of decentralised commodities trading platform; Initiation of 5 R&D programs:

1. Removing the human component out of product quality certification processes:

a) Developing new ways of printing onto food products and consumer goods (smart printing).

b) Integrating anti-tampering mechanisms into product labels and packaging (smart tagging).

c) Enabling fully automatized scanning of the product quality parameters.

2. Miniaturization of non-invasive systems for on-site automatic assessment of products.

3. Deployment of a biosensing platform for evaluation of product safety and allergen detection.

4. Expansion of capabilities to combine products with packaging to prevent counterfeiting.

5. Development of FDA approved product tracers capable of transforming packaging into smart objects as well as assuring high traceability functionalities from production facilities to end consumer

The purpose and functionality of these technologies is described in the Technical Papers separately. Some of these papers have already been published at https://ambrosus.com/#tech-docs

January 2018

Opening of a Center of Excellence in Lausanne for quality assessment of goods: analytics, sensing, monitoring, digitalization, tracking, tagging and tracing within supply chains.

Launch of a dedicated Digital Commodity Quality Research Lab for hardware development. Set-up of a Research Node for supply chain management platform to enhance the level of digitalization and automatization in supply chains.

Identifying key stakeholders to interact with:

1. International regulators and governmental compliance mechanisms

2. Food/pharma producers, restaurants/retailers/pharmacies and test shops

3. Anti-counterfeiting task force

4. Knowledge building for traceability and proof of origin of environmentally sensitive goods

5. Business sustainability assessment

6. Trust club to deploy Blockchain broadly andgain consumer trust.

The Hub for Ambrosus operations will complement the Center. Integration of the lab, the platform, the hub and the modules into the broader Lausanne Food Valley perspective. Partnership with local academic and corporate actors: EPFL, EHL, IMD, Applied Universities and corporate R&D centers, partnership under evaluation at this stage.
