Present as third party across all 5 distinct projects spanning 4 different sectors, indicating a horizontal service capability
CLOUDSELLING BV
Dutch digital services company providing cross-sector cloud and platform support to EU research projects as a third-party specialist.
Their core work
CloudSelling BV is a Dutch private company that provides specialized digital and cloud-based services to EU research projects exclusively as a third-party contributor. Their involvement spans environment, transport, energy, and health projects, suggesting they offer cross-cutting digital capabilities — likely cloud platforms, data management, or commercialization support — rather than domain-specific research. The company name and their consistent third-party role across highly diverse sectors point to a service provider that helps research consortia with technology platforms, data integration, or market-facing activities.
What they specialise in
Contributed to OPERANDUM involving Copernicus data fusion and climate change adaptation
Involved in AlSiCal targeting zero bauxite residue and CO2-free mineral co-production
Third-party contributor to GreenCharge (smart charging, sharing economy) and ARBAHEAT (biomass retrofit)
How they've shifted over time
CloudSelling's early H2020 involvement (2018) centered on climate adaptation, environmental monitoring with Copernicus data fusion, and smart energy neighborhoods — projects focused on digital platforms for environmental and transport data. By 2019, their focus shifted toward industrial sustainability, including raw materials processing (AlSiCal) and medical imaging (Immune-Image), suggesting a broadening of their service offerings into heavier industrial and health sectors. The consistent thread is providing digital or cloud-based support services to diverse research domains rather than deepening expertise in any single field.
CloudSelling is diversifying its third-party service portfolio across increasingly varied sectors, moving from environment-focused projects toward industrial processes and medical imaging.
How they like to work
CloudSelling operates exclusively as a third-party contributor — they have never been a coordinator or formal consortium partner in H2020. This indicates they are brought in by consortium members for specific contracted services rather than shaping project direction. With indirect connections to 97 partners across 22 countries, they have broad but shallow network ties typical of a service subcontractor that works with whoever needs their capabilities.
Through their third-party roles, CloudSelling is indirectly connected to 97 unique consortium partners across 22 countries, giving them wide European exposure. However, these are indirect relationships mediated through the consortium partners who subcontract them, not direct collaborative ties.
What sets them apart
CloudSelling's distinguishing feature is their ability to serve as a flexible third-party contributor across completely unrelated sectors — from climate adaptation to mineral processing to medical imaging. This cross-sector versatility suggests they provide a genuinely horizontal capability (likely digital platforms or cloud services) that is sector-agnostic. For consortium builders, they represent a low-commitment way to bring in specialized digital or commercialization support without adding a full partner.
Highlights from their portfolio
- OPERANDUMNature-based solutions project combining Copernicus satellite data with hydro-meteorological risk management — shows CloudSelling's involvement in complex environmental data fusion
- Immune-ImageA significant departure into health sector (PET/MRI imaging of immune cells), running until 2026, demonstrating the breadth of sectors CloudSelling can serve
- AlSiCalAmbitious zero-waste mineral processing project targeting elimination of bauxite residue and CO2 — represents CloudSelling's move into heavy industrial sustainability
