CNET SVENSKA AB

Their core work

CNET Svenska is a Swedish software and systems integration SME that builds middleware, IoT platforms, and data integration solutions for multi-domain applications. They specialize in connecting heterogeneous systems — whether in healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, or energy — providing the software glue that lets sensors, devices, and enterprise systems talk to each other. Their work spans platform development for connected factories (EFPF, COMPOSITION), IoT wearable management (MONICA), and smart city applications (GOEASY, RESPONSE), consistently playing the role of software integrator across diverse sectors.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

CNET's early H2020 work (2015–2017) centered on healthcare data integration and manufacturing platforms — building systems that connect sensors to patient management (myAirCoach, PICASO) or factory automation (COMPOSITION). From 2017 onward, the focus shifted decisively toward smart city infrastructure, software sustainability, and energy transition, with projects like SDK4ED addressing software energy efficiency and RESPONSE tackling energy positive districts. The trajectory shows a company migrating from domain-specific integration work toward broader urban and energy system challenges where their platform-building skills apply at city scale.

CNET is moving toward smart city and energy transition platforms, combining their IoT integration strengths with urban-scale decarbonisation and grid flexibility challenges.

How they like to work

CNET operates exclusively as a participant — across all 9 projects, they have never coordinated. This is typical for a specialist SME that contributes deep technical capability without taking on consortium management overhead. With 161 unique partners across 21 countries, they are remarkably well-networked for their size, suggesting they are a trusted, easy-to-work-with technical partner that gets recommended into new consortia by previous collaborators.

Exceptionally broad network for an SME: 161 unique consortium partners across 21 countries, built through 9 projects spanning multiple sectors. This wide reach suggests strong reputation as a reliable technical contributor across European research communities.

What sets them apart

CNET's differentiator is their ability to act as a sector-agnostic software integrator — they bring the same platform and middleware skills to healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and security projects with equal credibility. Few SMEs can point to successful contributions across four distinct sectors with consistent funding levels. For consortium builders, this means a partner who understands both the software architecture and the domain context, reducing the friction of cross-sector collaboration.

Highlights from their portfolio

• COMPOSITION
  Largest single project (€1.03M) focused on intra- and inter-factory integration, representing their peak manufacturing platform work.
• RESPONSE
  Most recent and longest-running project (2020–2026), marking their strategic pivot toward energy positive districts and urban decarbonisation.
• MONICA
  Large-scale IoT wearables demonstration (€842K) showcasing their ability to manage networked devices at very large scale in real-world cultural and societal settings.
