AMPHI INTERNATIONAL APS

Their core work

Amphi International is a Danish private company specializing in nature-based solutions (NBS) for urban and landscape resilience. They contribute expertise in blue-green infrastructure, freshwater ecosystem management, and hydro-meteorological risk reduction across European research consortia. Their work spans from planning and demonstrating NBS interventions to assessing their impact on urban health, biodiversity, and climate adaptation. They bridge environmental science with urban planning, health outcomes, and transport infrastructure biodiversity.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Amphi's earliest H2020 work (2018-2020) centered on demonstrating and upscaling nature-based solutions for flood and hydro-meteorological risk reduction, with a strong engineering and planning orientation. From 2020 onward, their focus broadened significantly into health impacts of blue-green interventions, freshwater biodiversity, sustainable financing of ecosystems, and even transport-biodiversity integration. The trajectory shows a clear shift from NBS demonstration toward measuring real-world outcomes — health, biodiversity, policy — suggesting they are maturing from implementers into evidence and impact specialists.

Amphi is moving from NBS implementation toward evidence-based impact assessment across health, biodiversity, and policy domains — positioning them for outcome-focused calls in Horizon Europe.

How they like to work

Amphi consistently joins as a participant rather than leading consortia, suggesting they bring specialized expertise to larger teams rather than managing projects. With 135 unique partners across 32 countries in just 5 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia — typical of major Innovation Actions and RIAs. This makes them an experienced, low-friction partner comfortable in big international teams.

With 135 unique consortium partners across 32 countries from only 5 projects, Amphi has built an exceptionally broad European network. Their reach spans nearly all EU member states and associated countries, giving them wide access to diverse research and implementation communities.

What sets them apart

Amphi sits at a rare intersection: nature-based solutions expertise combined with urban health assessment and citizen engagement technology. While many NBS organizations focus purely on environmental engineering, Amphi connects ecological interventions to human health outcomes and behavioural change — a combination increasingly demanded by Horizon Europe missions on climate adaptation and healthy cities. Their Danish base and broad network make them a strong partner for Nordic-led or pan-European NBS consortia.

Highlights from their portfolio

• RECONECT
  Their largest project (EUR 350K contribution), running 6 years, focused on large-scale NBS demonstration for hydro-meteorological risk — a flagship in the NBS space.
• HEART
  Combines blue-green infrastructure with AI-based health monitoring and behavioural change, representing their most forward-looking work at the NBS-health-technology intersection.
• BISON
  An unusual cross-sector project linking biodiversity with transport infrastructure, showing Amphi's ability to apply environmental expertise in non-traditional domains.
