COSMO TECH

Their core work

Cosmo Tech is a French technology SME specialising in simulation software and digital twin platforms for complex industrial and societal systems. Their core product is a simulation engine that models dynamic, interconnected systems — allowing organisations to test decisions before implementing them in the real world. In COEGSS, they contributed to large-scale computational modelling of global systems; in BAMBOO, they applied this capability to industrial energy optimisation, specifically modelling flexibility in material flows, waste heat recovery, and off-gas valorisation in manufacturing sites. For potential partners, they are a software technology provider that turns operational complexity into computable models.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Cosmo Tech entered H2020 through COEGSS (2015–2018), a broad, theoretically ambitious project on global systems science with no sector-specific keywords — suggesting they contributed foundational simulation methodology rather than applied industrial tools. Their second project, BAMBOO (2018–2023), marks a sharp pivot toward applied industrial decarbonisation: every keyword is sector-specific (waste heat recovery, energy flexibility, off-gas valorisation, monitoring systems). The trajectory is clear: from general-purpose simulation research toward concrete industrial energy optimisation products.

Cosmo Tech is moving from scientific simulation research toward deployable industrial software for energy efficiency and materials optimisation in manufacturing — a positioning well aligned with the EU's decarbonisation agenda for heavy industry.

How they like to work

Cosmo Tech has never led an H2020 project — they join as a specialised technical partner, contributing their simulation platform as an enabling technology within larger applied research consortia. This suggests they are brought in for a defined software contribution rather than for project coordination or dissemination. With 31 unique partners across just 2 projects, they operate inside large, diverse consortia, which indicates they are comfortable integrating their tools into multi-actor industrial environments.

Cosmo Tech has built connections with 31 unique partners across 11 countries through just two projects, indicating dense, multi-stakeholder consortia rather than narrow bilateral relationships. Their network spans both research-oriented (COEGSS) and industry-heavy (BAMBOO) consortia, giving them links across academia and manufacturing sectors.

What sets them apart

Cosmo Tech occupies a rare niche as an SME simulation software provider that operates at both the macro level (global systems science) and the plant floor level (industrial process off-gas and waste heat). Most simulation companies focus on one scale; Cosmo Tech's project history suggests their platform is scale-agnostic. For consortium builders in the manufacturing or energy transition space, they offer a software tool rather than another research team — making them a practical execution partner rather than a competitor for intellectual leadership.

Highlights from their portfolio

• BAMBOO
  The largest funded project (EUR 383,750, running to 2023) and the most sector-specific — directly targeting industrial decarbonisation through energy flexibility and waste heat recovery optimisation, with a clear commercial application pathway.
• COEGSS
  Entry into H2020 through a Centre of Excellence for Global Systems Science signals Cosmo Tech's simulation technology was credible enough for inclusion in a high-profile computational research infrastructure project.
