CAPITAL HIGH TECH SARL

Their core work

Capital High Tech is a French technology SME specializing in digital services at the intersection of space applications, cultural heritage digitization, and AI-driven data platforms. They provide expertise in dissemination, market awareness, and digital transformation — helping EU-funded projects bridge the gap between technical outputs and real-world adoption. Their work spans from promoting GNSS/EGNOS satellite services to businesses, to building digital observatories for measuring the impact of cultural digitization, to applying deep learning and natural language processing for Earth observation data access.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 period (2015–2018), CHT focused squarely on the space sector — promoting European GNSS and EGNOS satellite services and helping enterprises adopt space-based technologies (JUPITER, EUGENIUS). From 2019 onward, they pivoted decisively toward digital culture, heritage protection, and AI-powered data platforms (NETCHER, SnapEarth, inDICEs). This shift shows a company that retained its core skill in dissemination and market uptake but redirected it from space applications to the cultural and creative industries, digital transformation policy, and applied AI.

CHT is moving toward AI-driven digital platforms and cultural heritage analytics, making them a likely partner for future projects combining AI, open data, and European digital policy.

How they like to work

CHT has never coordinated an H2020 project, consistently serving as a participant or third party — indicating they provide specialized services within larger consortia rather than leading them. With 54 unique partners across 15 countries over just 6 projects, they integrate into diverse, multinational teams and do not cluster around a fixed set of partners. This makes them an adaptable, low-risk addition to a consortium: experienced enough to deliver, flexible enough to fit different project structures.

CHT has built a surprisingly broad network for a small SME — 54 unique consortium partners spanning 15 countries across Europe. Their connections bridge the space, digital, transport, and cultural heritage sectors, giving them cross-domain reach uncommon for a company of their size.

What sets them apart

CHT occupies a rare niche: a small French company that combines dissemination and market uptake expertise with growing AI and data platform capabilities, applied across very different domains (space, culture, environment). Their ability to move fluidly between sectors — from satellite services to digital heritage to Earth observation — makes them valuable as a versatile communication and digital services partner. For consortium builders, they offer proven experience in helping technical projects reach non-technical audiences and policy makers.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SnapEarth
  Applied deep learning and NLP to Earth observation data access — CHT's most technically advanced project and their entry point into applied AI.
• inDICEs
  Built an observatory measuring the impact of digital culture on EU policy, combining data analytics with cultural heritage — their most recent and strategically aligned project.
• NETCHER
  Addressed the sensitive topic of illicit cultural heritage trafficking through a digital network platform, showing CHT's range beyond purely technical work.
