EUROHELP CONSULTING SL

Their core work

EUROHELP CONSULTING is a Basque Country consulting SME that supports EU-funded innovation projects focused on smart city transformation, digital public services, and urban technology deployment. Their work sits at the intersection of public administration modernization and citizen-facing digital tools — helping cities demonstrate and replicate technology-driven solutions at scale. In practice, they contribute to large European consortia as a specialist partner, likely handling tasks such as project management support, dissemination, policy analysis, or stakeholder engagement rather than technical research. Both their funded projects are Innovation Actions, meaning their focus is applied deployment and market uptake rather than laboratory science.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

EUROHELP's two projects overlap in time (both starting 2015–2016), so there is no clean sequential shift. However, WeLive represents an earlier entry point focused on e-government and citizen participation through mobile apps, while REPLICATE marks a move toward larger-scale smart city infrastructure combining electric mobility, ICT platforms, and cross-city replication. The shift suggests growing ambition — from digital services for individual citizens toward systemic urban technology programmes. With no H2020 projects beginning after 2016, it is unclear whether this trajectory continued post-2021.

EUROHELP appears to be moving from narrow e-government consulting toward broader smart city programmes involving energy, transport, and scalable urban technology — but their H2020 activity is limited to 2015–2016 entry points, making future direction uncertain without more recent data.

How they like to work

EUROHELP has never led a project as coordinator — they always join as a participant, which is consistent with a consulting firm offering specific services (management, dissemination, policy) within larger technical consortia. Their 54 unique partners across just 2 projects indicates participation in large multi-partner Innovation Actions, typical of flagship EU smart city programmes. This makes them an accessible, low-friction partner for consortia needing consulting capacity rather than a research lead.

EUROHELP has connected with 54 unique partners across 8 countries through only 2 projects, reflecting the large consortium structures common in smart city Innovation Actions. Their network is European in breadth but likely anchored in Spanish and Basque regional connections given their location in Donostia-San Sebastián.

What sets them apart

EUROHELP's participation in REPLICATE — one of the EU's flagship smart city lighthouse programmes — gives them direct, applied experience with large-scale urban technology deployment and cross-city replication, which few small consulting firms can claim. Based in Donostia-San Sebastián (a city itself active in smart city initiatives), they likely bring genuine local authority relationships and regional public sector insight to European consortia. For a consortium needing a Basque/Spanish consulting partner with smart city and electric mobility credentials, they are a targeted fit.

Highlights from their portfolio

• REPLICATE
  The larger and more ambitious of the two projects (€328,580 EC funding, 2016–2021), REPLICATE was a flagship EU smart city Innovation Action covering electric mobility, ICT platforms, and cross-city replication methodology.
• WeLive
  An early-stage digital government project focused on citizen co-created mobile public services — demonstrating EUROHELP's entry point in civic digital transformation before moving to infrastructure-scale smart city work.
