ENERGIS

Their core work

ENERGIS is a Belgian technology SME based in Louvain-la-Neuve that has worked across two distinct applied domains: smart electromobility infrastructure and cybersecurity tooling for small businesses. In the ELECTRIFIC project, they contributed to integrating electric vehicles with power grids, addressing the practical challenges of EV charging management and grid interaction. More recently, they shifted toward digital security, participating in CyberKit4SME to help democratize cybersecurity tools for SMEs and mid-sized enterprises. Their profile suggests a consultancy or technology integrator role that brings domain expertise into larger collaborative R&D efforts.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

ENERGIS entered H2020 through the transport pillar, contributing to electromobility and smart grid work during 2016–2019 — a period when EV infrastructure was rapidly scaling across Europe. By 2020, their focus had moved entirely into digital security, with no apparent continuation of the transport thread. This is a significant pivot: from physical infrastructure (EV charging, grid systems) to digital infrastructure (cybersecurity toolkits). Whether this reflects a deliberate strategic shift or simply opportunistic project participation is unclear given only two data points.

ENERGIS appears to be moving toward the digital security space, particularly around making cybersecurity practical and affordable for smaller businesses — a growing market as EU regulatory pressure on SME cyber resilience increases.

How they like to work

ENERGIS has participated exclusively as a partner, never taking on a coordinating role across either project. They joined consortia of meaningful scale — ELECTRIFIC and CyberKit4SME are both multi-partner EU projects — suggesting comfort operating as a specialist contributor within structured consortia rather than as a lead. With 24 unique partners across 12 countries from just 2 projects, their network is broad relative to their project volume, implying they work in large international groups rather than tight repeated clusters.

Despite only two projects, ENERGIS has engaged with 24 distinct consortium partners spread across 12 countries, reflecting participation in substantial multi-national consortia. No geographic concentration is evident from the data.

What sets them apart

ENERGIS occupies an unusual space for a small Belgian SME: it has direct experience in both physical energy-transport systems (EV grid integration) and digital security for businesses, which are increasingly converging fields as connected vehicles and smart infrastructure require cybersecurity by design. For a consortium building around secure connected mobility or smart infrastructure protection, this cross-domain background — rare in a company this size — could be genuinely useful. That said, with only two projects on record, any partner should verify their current active capabilities before committing.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ELECTRIFIC
  The larger of their two projects at €619,136 EC funding, addressing the technically complex challenge of real-time vehicle-to-grid coordination — a foundational problem for Europe's EV transition.
• CyberKit4SME
  Marks a clear sectoral pivot toward digital security, with an explicit focus on democratizing cybersecurity — a policy-relevant framing that aligns with EU NIS2 and SME support agendas.
