EVALAN BV

Their core work

Evalan is an Amsterdam-based IoT company that develops smart sensing and monitoring solutions, specializing in connecting physical environments to digital intelligence. They work on miniaturized sensor systems, wearable electronics, and edge computing platforms that enable real-time human and environment monitoring. Their technical contributions span from energy-harvesting IoT devices to stretchable skin-worn sensor patches and AI-driven perception systems for healthcare, sports, and industrial applications.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Evalan started with foundational IoT infrastructure — their earliest project (EnSO, 2016) tackled energy harvesting and miniaturized form factors for smart objects. By 2019-2020, they shifted decisively toward body-worn sensing (stretchable electronics, skin patches, ECG) and intelligent perception systems using radar, lidar, and edge AI. The trajectory shows a company moving up the value chain from powering IoT devices to making them smart, wearable, and capable of real-time human monitoring.

Evalan is converging toward AI-enabled wearable and ambient sensing for healthcare and human performance monitoring — expect future work at the intersection of body-worn sensors and distributed intelligence.

How they like to work

Evalan participates exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator, which suggests they contribute specialized technical components rather than driving project strategy. With 94 unique partners across 11 countries in just 3 projects, they operate in large consortia (averaging 30+ partners per project). This makes them an accessible, low-friction partner — experienced at integrating into large teams and delivering their IoT/sensor expertise as a modular contribution.

Despite only three projects, Evalan has built a broad network of 94 partners across 11 countries, indicating participation in large-scale European consortia. Their reach is solidly pan-European with no obvious geographic clustering beyond their Dutch home base.

What sets them apart

Evalan bridges the gap between raw sensor hardware and actionable intelligence — they don't just build IoT devices, they make them wearable, energy-autonomous, and AI-capable. As a Dutch SME with commercial IoT products, they bring market-readiness and product engineering discipline that pure research partners often lack. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: a company that understands both stretchable electronics manufacturing and distributed AI processing at the edge.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SINTEC
  Their largest funded project (EUR 428K), tackling the technically ambitious challenge of building a complete epidermal communication platform with stretchable PCBs and intra-body data transmission.
• NextPerception
  Represents their strategic pivot toward AI-driven sensing, combining radar, lidar, and explainable AI for human monitoring — signaling where the company is heading.
