ALMERYS

Their core work

Almerys is a French data processing and trusted intermediary company specializing in secure data exchange, particularly in the health and insurance sectors. In H2020 projects, they contribute expertise in building platforms for secure, privacy-preserving data sharing and trusted data value chains. Their work spans from health data protection (CUREX) to broader data marketplace infrastructure (REACH), positioning them as a technical partner for projects requiring robust data governance and exchange mechanisms.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Almerys entered H2020 in 2018 with two parallel tracks: plastics lifecycle data (PTwist) and health data security (CUREX). By 2020, their focus sharpened toward trusted data infrastructure and European data spaces (REACH), reflecting the broader EU push toward common data ecosystems. The trajectory shows a clear move from domain-specific platforms toward general-purpose trusted data exchange infrastructure.

Almerys is moving toward European common data space infrastructure, making them a relevant partner for any project needing trusted data intermediation under EU data governance frameworks.

How they like to work

Almerys operates exclusively as a participant, never leading consortia — they join projects to contribute specific technical components rather than to drive research agendas. Despite only three projects, they have worked with 46 unique partners across 16 countries, indicating they integrate well into large, diverse consortia. This suggests a reliable, low-friction technical partner that delivers its piece without requiring project leadership overhead.

With 46 consortium partners spread across 16 countries from just 3 projects, Almerys has built a surprisingly broad European network. Their connections are distributed rather than concentrated in any single region, reflecting the pan-European scope of data infrastructure projects.

What sets them apart

Almerys brings real-world experience as a trusted data intermediary in the French health insurance sector — not just research capability, but operational infrastructure for handling sensitive data at scale. This operational background makes them a credible partner for projects that need to demonstrate real data governance, not just prototype it. For consortium builders, they fill the gap between academic data security research and production-grade data exchange systems.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CUREX
  Their largest H2020 investment (EUR 546,250) and most closely aligned with their core business of secure health data processing.
• REACH
  Directly tied to the EU Common European Data Space initiative, signaling Almerys' alignment with major EU digital policy priorities.
