Core contributor to SPEAR (smart grid security), SDN-microSENSE (microgrid resilience), and CARAMEL (vehicle cybersecurity).
0 INFINITY LIMITED
UK cybersecurity SME protecting critical infrastructure — smart grids, connected vehicles, and first responder systems — through intrusion detection and resilience technologies.
Their core work
0 Infinity is a London-based cybersecurity SME specializing in securing critical infrastructure — from smart grids and energy systems to connected vehicles and first responder communications. Their work spans intrusion detection and prevention for networked systems, particularly where safety-critical operations depend on resilient digital infrastructure. Across their H2020 portfolio, they contribute cybersecurity expertise to projects protecting electrical grids, autonomous vehicles, and emergency response operations.
What they specialise in
Both SPEAR and SDN-microSENSE focus on securing electrical power and energy distribution systems.
CARAMEL project addresses AI-based cybersecurity for connected, autonomous, and electric vehicles with intrusion detection/prevention.
RESPOND-A project focuses on situational awareness and mission-critical tools for first responders in natural and man-made hazards.
How they've shifted over time
0 Infinity entered H2020 in 2018 with a focus on smart grid and electrical energy system security (SPEAR, SDN-microSENSE). By 2019-2020, their scope broadened significantly into vehicle cybersecurity (intrusion detection, autonomous vehicles) and public safety (first responder situational awareness). This shift suggests a company expanding its cybersecurity capabilities from energy infrastructure into transport and emergency services — essentially applying the same security principles across increasingly diverse critical sectors.
Moving from energy-only cybersecurity toward a cross-sector security profile covering transport, emergency services, and critical infrastructure broadly — making them a versatile cybersecurity partner for any safety-critical domain.
How they like to work
0 Infinity operates exclusively as a project participant, never as coordinator — typical for a specialized SME contributing focused technical expertise to larger consortia. With 87 unique partners across just 4 projects, they consistently work in large, multi-partner consortia (averaging 20+ partners per project). This suggests they are comfortable integrating into complex, multi-national research efforts and can work with diverse partner types.
Despite only four projects, 0 Infinity has built a broad network of 87 unique partners across 19 countries, indicating strong exposure to the European research and innovation landscape. Their network spans a wide geographic range rather than clustering around any single region.
What sets them apart
0 Infinity sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection — a niche where deep security expertise meets domain knowledge of energy grids, vehicle networks, and emergency systems. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: an SME nimble enough to contribute specialized cybersecurity components across multiple safety-critical sectors. Their rapid diversification from energy to transport and public safety shows adaptability that larger, more siloed cybersecurity firms may lack.
Highlights from their portfolio
