French innovation consultancy supporting EU energy and environment research projects with exploitation, dissemination, and business development services.
Euronovia is a Paris-based innovation consultancy ("conseil") that supports EU-funded research projects with exploitation, dissemination, and business development services. Rather than performing core R&D themselves, they help technical consortia translate research results into market-ready outcomes and ensure project impacts reach industry. Their portfolio spans concentrated solar power, research infrastructure access, urban water management, and advanced materials — a breadth that signals a horizontal service role rather than deep specialization in any single technology. With 10 H2020 projects and 119 consortium partners across 21 countries, they are a well-connected intermediary between research and business.
Present as participant across all 10 projects spanning unrelated technical domains (solar, microscopy, urban drainage, wind), indicating a horizontal support role rather than technical contribution.
Consistent involvement in CSP projects from 2015 to 2023: ORC-PLUS, SOLPART, NEXT-CSP, POLYPHEM, and SFERA-III.
Participated in ESTEEM3 (electron microscopy), SFERA-III (solar research facilities), and Co-UDlabs (urban drainage labs) — all transnational access projects.
Recent projects Co-UDlabs (urban drainage, 2021) and SCORE (coastal city resilience, 2021) mark a new thematic direction.
FLOATECH (2021) on floating wind turbine optimization represents expansion beyond solar into broader renewable energy.
From 2015 to 2019, Euronovia focused almost exclusively on concentrated solar power and solar thermal technologies, contributing to projects like SOLPART, NEXT-CSP, and POLYPHEM that pushed high-temperature solar processes and thermal energy storage. From 2019 onward, their portfolio diversified significantly: they entered research infrastructure projects (ESTEEM3, Co-UDlabs), expanded into floating offshore wind (FLOATECH), and moved into urban climate resilience (SCORE). This broadening is consistent with a consultancy building its client base across multiple EU research communities rather than deepening a single technical niche.
Euronovia is diversifying beyond its solar energy roots into urban resilience, research infrastructure access, and offshore wind — positioning itself as a cross-sector innovation services provider for EU projects.
Euronovia operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 119 unique partners across 21 countries from just 10 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia (averaging 12+ partners per project). This pattern, combined with their consistent participant role and thematic breadth, suggests they are brought in for specific horizontal services rather than driving the research agenda.
Euronovia has built a wide European network of 119 unique partners across 21 countries through participation in large research consortia. Their connections span solar energy research centers, urban infrastructure labs, and advanced materials facilities across Western and Southern Europe.
Euronovia fills a specific niche as an SME consultancy that helps research-heavy consortia with innovation management, dissemination, and exploitation planning. Their long track record in concentrated solar power gives them genuine domain knowledge in energy, while their recent diversification shows adaptability. For consortium builders, they offer a reliable Paris-based partner who can handle the business-facing side of EU projects without competing for the technical lead role.
