DAS Solutions S.R.L.

Their core work

DAS Solutions is a Chisinau-based private company that participates in the IDEALIST network — the pan-European coordination structure for ICT National Contact Points (NCPs) under Horizon 2020. Their practical function is helping Moldovan organizations and researchers find, apply for, and navigate EU ICT funding calls, acting as a local bridge between Moldova's technology sector and the European research funding system. Both of their H2020 engagements are Coordination and Support Actions, meaning they do not conduct technical research themselves but instead facilitate access, partnership formation, and cross-border cooperation among NCP communities. As a private SME operating in this role from an EU-associated country, they serve as one of the few entry points for Moldovan ICT actors into the European research ecosystem.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Between 2015 and 2021, DAS Solutions remained within a single, well-defined niche: ICT NCP network coordination. Their early focus (2015–2018) was on the LEIT ICT funding strand and building transnational NCP relationships through Idealist2018. By 2019–2021, the terminology shifted slightly toward the "NCP" label and the Idealist2018/Idealist2020 branding, reflecting the network's own rebranding cycle rather than any meaningful pivot in the organization's activity. There is no evidence of diversification into technical research, new sectors, or a coordinator role during this period.

DAS Solutions shows no sign of expanding beyond ICT NCP support work — they are a stable, specialized facilitator, making them a reliable but narrow partner for EU funding advisory rather than technology development.

How they like to work

DAS Solutions exclusively joins as a participant and has never coordinated an H2020 project. They operate within large, internationally diverse consortia — the IDEALIST network typically spans 30–50 NCP organizations from across Europe and associated countries — rather than small, focused research teams. This pattern suggests they are comfortable as a reliable contributor within structured, process-driven coordination networks, not as project leaders or initiators.

Their network of 43 unique partners across 34 countries is broad geographically but entirely attributable to the IDEALIST NCP consortium, which spans EU member states and associated countries. The breadth reflects the network's structure, not a diverse independent partnership strategy.

What sets them apart

DAS Solutions is one of the very few Moldovan private companies with verified Horizon 2020 participation, giving them firsthand knowledge of EU funding mechanics that is rare in the local market. Their sustained presence in the IDEALIST NCP network gives them direct access to ICT NCP contacts across 34 countries — a concrete asset for any Moldovan organization seeking a warm introduction into the European research funding system. For consortium builders specifically looking to include an Eastern European or EU-neighborhood partner with NCP experience, DAS Solutions fills a specific and otherwise hard-to-source slot.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Idealist2018
  Their largest H2020 engagement (EUR 107,650) and their entry point into the pan-European ICT NCP coordination network, establishing their position among 40+ NCP organizations.
• Idealist2020
  Demonstrates continuity and sustained commitment to the NCP coordination role across a second funding cycle, confirming this is a core organizational function rather than a one-off engagement.
