CLOUD'N'SCI OY

Their core work

CLOUD'N'SCI OY is a Finnish technology SME specializing in civic technology and digital public services, with a focus on platforms that enable citizens to co-create and co-deliver government services. Their work sits at the intersection of cloud-based software development and participatory governance — building tools that help public administrations move beyond one-way service delivery toward collaborative, citizen-driven digital ecosystems. In practice, this means contributing technical and conceptual expertise to EU-funded projects that redesign how governments interact with residents through mobile apps, open data, and co-production frameworks. Their value to a consortium is bridging the gap between technical infrastructure and the social/institutional design of digital public services.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first project (2015-2018), CLOUD'N'SCI worked on citizen-facing mobile urban services — the focus was practical, app-layer civic tech in a smart city context. By their second project (2021-2023), the framing had shifted decisively toward governance reform: the keywords move from urban mobility to digital single market policy, co-production theory, and systemic public administration change. This suggests a maturation from building citizen-facing tools to shaping the institutional and regulatory architecture within which such tools operate.

CLOUD'N'SCI appears to be moving from implementation-level civic tech toward the governance and policy layer of digital public services — making them increasingly relevant to projects targeting EU Digital Single Market reform or GovTech policy design.

How they like to work

CLOUD'N'SCI has participated exclusively as a consortium partner, never leading a project, which is consistent with a specialized SME that contributes defined technical or methodological expertise within larger, publicly-led consortia. With 20 unique partners across 7 countries over just 2 projects, they have been embedded in reasonably broad international networks rather than small closed teams. This suggests they are comfortable operating as one node in a multi-stakeholder project and likely contribute a specific, well-scoped deliverable rather than driving overall project direction.

Despite only two projects, CLOUD'N'SCI has built connections with 20 distinct organizations across 7 European countries, pointing to broad consortium exposure for a micro-SME. Their network is solidly European, anchored in projects coordinated by public sector or academic leads.

What sets them apart

CLOUD'N'SCI occupies an uncommon niche for a private Finnish SME: the overlap of cloud software development and participatory public governance, grounded in real EU project delivery rather than pure consulting. Most GovTech players are either large IT vendors or academic research groups — CLOUD'N'SCI offers the agility of a small company with demonstrated experience in EU-funded multi-country civic tech deployments. For a consortium building around digital democracy, open government data, or citizen engagement platforms, they bring both technical credibility and familiarity with the EU policy context.

Highlights from their portfolio

• INTERLINK
  Their highest-funded project (€293,875), directly targeting EU Digital Single Market reform through a government-citizen co-delivery model — representing their most policy-relevant and recent work.
• WeLive
  An early smart city project that positioned CLOUD'N'SCI at the frontier of citizen co-created urban mobile services, establishing their participatory technology credentials.
