CAPGEMINI ESPANA SL

Their core work

Capgemini España is the Spanish arm of Capgemini, one of Europe's largest IT consulting and digital services firms. Within H2020, they contribute software engineering, cybersecurity, and AI capabilities to multi-partner research projects. Their work spans supply chain cyber resilience, formal methods for software documentation, and AI-driven environmental monitoring — reflecting a consulting company that applies digital expertise across diverse problem domains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Capgemini España entered H2020 in 2019 with a focus on software engineering fundamentals — formal methods, NLP for code documentation, and cloud/OS computing (DECODER). By 2020-2021, their focus shifted decisively toward cybersecurity (FISHY) and AI-powered environmental applications (TREEADS), suggesting a move from foundational software tools to applied, domain-specific digital solutions. The evolution mirrors a broader industry trend: from building tools for developers to deploying AI and security solutions in real-world operational contexts.

Moving from developer-facing software tools toward applied cybersecurity and AI solutions in critical infrastructure and environmental domains — expect future involvement in climate-tech and resilience projects.

How they like to work

Capgemini España participates exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator — consistent with a large consulting firm contributing technical capacity to research-led consortia rather than driving the research agenda. With 75 unique partners across 19 countries in just 3 projects, they operate in large, internationally diverse consortia. This makes them an accessible partner: well-connected, experienced in complex multi-partner setups, and unlikely to compete for project leadership.

Despite only 3 projects, they have collaborated with 75 distinct partners across 19 countries — an exceptionally broad network reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of their projects. Their geographic reach spans most of the EU.

What sets them apart

As part of the Capgemini group, they bring enterprise-grade IT consulting and integration capabilities that most research partners cannot match. Their value in a consortium is bridging the gap between research prototypes and industrial deployment — they know how to take a lab concept and make it work in a corporate IT environment. For consortium builders, they add credibility and a path to market that pure research organizations lack.
