Led both ChArGED (gamified energy disaggregation) and BENEFFICE (plug-and-play energy behaviour change ICT) as coordinator.
EUROPEAN DYNAMICS BELGIUM
Belgian IT company building data integration platforms and decision support systems for energy grids, environmental monitoring, and border security.
Their core work
European Dynamics Belgium is an IT solutions company that builds software platforms and decision support systems for energy, environment, and security applications. Their core work involves developing ICT tools for energy management, smart grid flexibility, water quality forecasting, and border security screening systems. They specialize in translating complex data streams — from Copernicus satellite data to smart meter readings — into actionable dashboards and automated decision-making platforms for utilities, grid operators, and public authorities.
What they specialise in
Coordinated FLEXITRANSTORE, their largest project (EUR 1.99M), focused on transmission grid flexibility and market coupling.
Contributed to SPACE-O, building water quality forecasting platforms using Copernicus data, hydrological modelling, and data assimilation.
Participated in TRESSPASS (risk-based passenger screening) and FOLDOUT (border surveillance in harsh environments).
Across all six projects, their consistent contribution is building software platforms that integrate heterogeneous data sources into usable tools.
How they've shifted over time
European Dynamics Belgium started their H2020 portfolio (2016-2017) focused on environmental monitoring and energy efficiency — building water quality forecasting systems with satellite data and gamified energy disaggregation platforms. By 2017-2018, their work shifted toward security and border applications (passenger screening, through-foliage detection), while their energy work scaled up from consumer behaviour to grid-level market coupling and transmission flexibility. The trajectory shows a company expanding from niche environmental ICT toward broader platform development across multiple public-sector domains.
Moving from domain-specific environmental tools toward cross-sector platform development in security and critical infrastructure, suggesting growing capability as a general-purpose ICT integrator for public-sector challenges.
How they like to work
European Dynamics Belgium splits evenly between leading and participating — coordinating 3 of their 6 projects, which is a high leadership ratio for a private company. With 99 unique consortium partners across 26 countries, they operate in large, diverse consortia rather than small focused teams. This broad network suggests they are comfortable managing complex multi-partner projects and are well-connected across European research and industry ecosystems.
Extensive pan-European network spanning 99 unique partners across 26 countries, indicating deep integration into the EU research and innovation ecosystem. Their reach is notably broad for a company with only 6 projects, suggesting they join large consortia with diverse membership.
What sets them apart
European Dynamics Belgium stands out as an ICT integrator that bridges the gap between raw data (satellite imagery, sensor networks, smart meters) and operational decision-making tools for public utilities and authorities. Their unusual combination of energy, environment, and security expertise means they can apply platform-building skills across domains that rarely overlap. For consortium builders, they bring proven coordination experience and a massive partner network — useful for anchoring large Innovation Action proposals.
Highlights from their portfolio
- FLEXITRANSTORELargest project by far (EUR 1.99M), coordinated by European Dynamics — focused on smart grid flexibility and market coupling across transmission networks.
- SPACE-ODemonstrates their ability to integrate Copernicus satellite data with hydrological models for real-time water quality management — a technically demanding data fusion challenge.
- TRESSPASSMarks their entry into security applications with risk-based passenger screening, showing cross-sector versatility beyond their energy and environment roots.
