BEEPLANET FACTORY SL

Their core work

Beeplanet Factory is a Spanish technology SME based in Orkoien (Navarra) specialising in the digital transformation of the built environment, with a focus on energy performance and sustainable construction. Their work sits at the intersection of Building Information Modelling (BIM), building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and smart-city infrastructure, translating complex building data into actionable energy efficiency improvements. In EU projects they contribute as a technology or implementation partner, bringing practical AEC (architecture, engineering, construction and operations) sector expertise into large Innovation Actions. Their trajectory points toward digitally-enabled, energy-efficient buildings embedded within connected sustainable communities.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Beeplanet's H2020 trajectory moves from broad smart-city systems thinking toward deep, building-level digital energy solutions. Their first project, STARDUST (starting 2017), operated at urban scale — integrated models for smart cities — with no recorded keyword specialisation, suggesting a generalist contribution at that stage. By PROBONO (2022), their focus had sharpened considerably: BIM, BIPV, energy performance of buildings, and the AEC workflow (architecture, engineering, construction, operations) are all named explicitly, revealing a deliberate move toward digital tools and renewable integration at the building level.

Beeplanet is deepening its specialisation in digital-twin and BIM-based approaches to building energy renovation, making them an increasingly relevant partner for projects targeting the EU's building decarbonisation agenda.

How they like to work

Beeplanet has participated exclusively as a consortium member, never as coordinator, across both projects — a pattern consistent with a specialist SME that contributes targeted technical expertise rather than leading project management. Both projects are large Innovation Actions with extensive consortia (averaging over 50 unique partners per project), so Beeplanet is experienced at operating within complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Their 105 unique partners from 19 countries suggest broad exposure to diverse consortium structures rather than a tight circle of repeated collaborators.

Beeplanet has built a surprisingly wide network for a two-project organisation — 105 unique partners across 19 countries, almost certainly driven by their involvement in large H2020 Innovation Actions. Their European reach is genuine, though their base in Navarra and Spanish VAT registration suggests their core operations and client relationships remain Iberian.

What sets them apart

Beeplanet occupies a specific niche: a lean Spanish SME that bridges the AEC industry's practical workflows (BIM, construction operations) with EU-funded energy and climate research. This makes them valuable to consortia that need an industry-grounded SME voice rather than another academic partner. For businesses in construction, property development, or facility management, Beeplanet represents a credible link between real-world building operations and the latest EU research on building decarbonisation and solar integration.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PROBONO
  Their largest and most recent project (€263,047, running to 2026) represents their most technically focused contribution, combining BIM, BIPV, and energy performance in a single Innovation Action — the clearest window into their current capabilities.
• STARDUST
  A long-running smart-city Innovation Action (2017–2024) that placed Beeplanet in a broad urban-systems context early on, establishing their EU project track record and multi-country network.
