ALTIFLEX APS

Their core work

Altiflex ApS is a Danish construction-tech SME that developed and commercialized flexible modular systems for temporarily sealing buildings during construction and renovation work. Their core product protects building interiors from weather during the construction phase — addressing a common problem on building sites where openings, facades, or roofs are incomplete. The company followed a disciplined EU commercialization path: a Phase 1 feasibility grant in 2016, then a Phase 2 market entry grant in 2019, scaling from concept validation to full market launch. Their work sits at the intersection of construction site logistics, temporary weatherproofing, and modular product design.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Altiflex shows no shift in technical focus — both projects address the exact same problem and product. What did evolve is their commercialization stage: the 2016 Phase 1 project (€50K) was a feasibility and business case study, while the 2019 Phase 2 project (€1.76M) funded full market entry, likely covering product refinement, certifications, pilot deployments, and sales scaling. This is a single-product company that deepened its commitment to one idea rather than diversifying. The trajectory suggests a founder-driven company betting on one innovation and executing it through the EU SME Instrument ladder.

With Phase 2 funding completed by 2021, Altiflex has likely exited the EU grant cycle and is now operating as a commercial product company — future collaboration opportunities would be as a technology or product supplier rather than as a research partner.

How they like to work

Altiflex operates exclusively as a solo project coordinator, using the EU SME Instrument — a program designed for individual companies with no consortium requirement. They have zero recorded consortium partners across both projects, meaning they have no track record of collaborative EU project work. Anyone seeking to partner with them would be approaching a product company for licensing, supply, or pilot deployment, not a research consortium partner.

Altiflex has no recorded consortium partners in H2020 data, which is expected for SME Instrument recipients who apply and execute solo. Their network is effectively limited to their Danish home market and whatever commercial relationships they built during Phase 2 market entry.

What sets them apart

Altiflex is one of the few construction-sector SMEs to successfully complete both phases of the EU SME Instrument for the same product, which signals that their business case survived two rounds of independent expert evaluation. Their product addresses a mundane but persistent construction site problem — temporary weatherproofing of open building envelopes — that larger building materials companies have largely ignored. For a consortium needing a construction-phase protection technology or a niche building product supplier with EU validation behind them, Altiflex offers a commercially proven, single-focus solution.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FLEXBUILD
  Phase 2 SME Instrument award of €1.76M is among the larger single-company grants in this program, indicating strong evaluator confidence in the market opportunity and the team's ability to execute.
• FlexBuild
  Phase 1 feasibility grant in 2016 that laid the groundwork for the full commercialization — notable as the starting point of a rare complete Phase 1 → Phase 2 progression for a construction-tech product.
