Core contributor to DANTE (counter-terrorism), ASGARD (raw data analysis), SURVANT (video surveillance), and SUCCESS (critical energy infrastructure protection).
ENGIWEB SECURITY SRL
Italian IT security firm providing NLP, video analytics, and big data modules as a third-party subcontractor to EU security and public administration projects.
Their core work
Engiweb Security is a Trento-based Italian IT security company that provides specialized software components and services for security, surveillance, and data analytics platforms. They contribute technical modules — particularly in natural language processing, big data analytics, and video analysis — to larger EU research consortia as a third-party subcontractor. Their work spans counter-terrorism intelligence (DANTE, ASGARD), surveillance video analysis (SURVANT), critical infrastructure protection (SUCCESS), and citizen-facing public administration tools (WeLive, SIMPATICO).
What they specialise in
Provided NLP capabilities in SIMPATICO for simplifying citizen-government interactions and supported WeLive's citizen co-created urban services.
Contributed to TOREADOR's Big Data Analytics-as-a-Service platform for trustworthy model-aware analytics.
Supported VITAL MEDIA's media convergence and community strategy development activities.
How they've shifted over time
Engiweb's early projects (2015-2016) focused on data processing infrastructure — big data analytics platforms, NLP for public services, and online service simplification. Their later projects shifted toward security-oriented content analysis, community engagement strategies, and media intelligence. However, the entire portfolio is compressed into a narrow 2015-2017 window, making it difficult to identify a strong evolutionary arc — it appears more like parallel engagement across related domains than a deliberate pivot.
Their activity ended around 2017-2020 (project end dates), with no visible recent H2020 engagement — a potential collaborator should verify whether the company is still active in EU research.
How they like to work
Engiweb operates exclusively as a third-party contributor — they have never coordinated or directly participated as a named consortium partner in any of their 8 projects. This means they are brought in by consortium members to provide specific technical components or services under subcontracting arrangements. Despite this indirect role, they have touched 100 unique partners across 16 countries, indicating they are called upon by diverse consortia for their specialized capabilities.
Through their third-party engagements, Engiweb has indirect connections to 100 unique consortium partners across 16 countries, suggesting they are a trusted subcontractor called upon by multiple independent consortia across Europe.
What sets them apart
Engiweb occupies a niche as a behind-the-scenes technical provider for security and public administration projects — they deliver specialized software modules without the overhead of full consortium membership. Their combination of NLP, video analysis, and big data skills applied specifically to security and law enforcement contexts is relatively uncommon among Italian IT companies of this size. For consortium builders, they represent a low-friction way to add security-domain technical capacity without a major partnership commitment.
Highlights from their portfolio
- ASGARDLongest-running project (2016-2020) focused on analysis of gathered raw data — likely their deepest technical engagement in the security intelligence domain.
- DANTECounter-terrorism online content and financing detection — demonstrates capability in sensitive security analytics at the intersection of NLP and law enforcement.
- SIMPATICOApplied NLP to simplify citizen-government interactions — shows their technology can serve civic purposes beyond security, broadening their versatility.
