Central to both SUPERFLUIDITY (cloud-edge convergence) and MonB5G (distributed network slice management in beyond-5G).
CLOUD SOFTWARE GROUP HELLAS MONOPROSOPI ETAIRIA PERIORISMENIS EVTHINIS
Greek software company specializing in cloud-native platforms, 5G network slicing, and ML-driven telecom orchestration for European ICT research consortia.
Their core work
Cloud Software Group Greece is a software company based in Patras specializing in cloud-native networking, virtualization, and telecom infrastructure software. Their H2020 work spans cloud-edge convergence, cybersecurity solutions for small businesses, and intelligent 5G network management — indicating deep competence in software-defined networking and distributed systems. They contribute software engineering and platform development expertise to large European ICT and security research consortia.
What they specialise in
SUPERFLUIDITY focused on super-fluid cloud-native edge systems; MonB5G extends this to distributed management architectures.
SMESEC project addressed digital security specifically tailored to small and medium enterprise environments.
MonB5G keywords include machine learning and zero-touch management, signaling a move toward AI-driven network operations.
How they've shifted over time
Their early H2020 work (2015-2017) centered on cloud-edge convergence and general-purpose cybersecurity — broad ICT infrastructure topics without sharp specialization. By 2019, the focus narrowed significantly toward 5G network slicing, zero-touch automation, and machine learning for distributed network orchestration, as seen in MonB5G. This reflects a clear trajectory from general cloud/virtualization toward intelligent, autonomous telecom infrastructure management.
They are moving toward autonomous, ML-powered telecom network orchestration — a partner likely interested in future 6G, intent-based networking, or AI-for-networks projects.
How they like to work
Always a participant, never a coordinator — they join consortia as a technology contributor rather than a project leader. With 41 unique partners across just 3 projects, they operate in large consortia (averaging ~14 partners per project), which is typical for major EU ICT research actions. This suggests they are a reliable technical contributor comfortable integrating into complex multi-partner setups.
Despite only 3 projects, they have built a broad network of 41 unique partners across 17 countries, reflecting engagement in large pan-European ICT consortia with wide geographic spread.
What sets them apart
As a private software company based in Patras — home to one of Greece's strongest ICT ecosystems around the University of Patras — they bring commercial software development discipline to research consortia, bridging the gap between academic prototypes and deployable products. Their progression from general cloud platforms to specialized 5G intelligence makes them a practical partner for projects needing software implementation capacity in telecom and network automation. For consortium builders, they offer a Greek private-sector partner with genuine distributed systems engineering capability, not just consultancy.
Highlights from their portfolio
- SUPERFLUIDITYLargest single EC contribution (EUR 709,375) and their entry into cloud-edge convergence research — a foundational project for their later 5G work.
- MonB5GTheir most recent and technically ambitious project, combining 5G network slicing with machine learning and zero-touch automation — signals their current strategic direction.
- SMESECA departure from their telecom focus into cybersecurity for SMEs, demonstrating versatility across the ICT-security boundary.
