EVOTEL INFORMATICA SL

Their core work

EVOTEL INFORMATICA SL is a Spanish technology SME based in Lugo, Galicia, specialising in digital systems for automotive and advanced mobility applications. Their work spans semiconductor process design — specifically FDSOI (fully depleted silicon-on-insulator) technology at advanced nodes — through to applied perception systems combining radar, lidar, and time-of-flight sensors. In EU research projects they contribute as a specialist partner, bringing embedded systems and sensor integration expertise into large pan-European consortia. More recently their work has expanded into edge computing and explainable AI applied to human monitoring and proactive safety systems.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their earliest H2020 work (OCEAN12, starting 2018) EVOTEL focused on the hardware layer — semiconductor process design, FDSOI technology, smart system integration, and the design toolchain enabling automotive-grade chips at advanced nodes. By their second project (NextPerception, starting 2020) the focus had clearly migrated up the technology stack toward sensor fusion, distributed intelligence, and AI-based interpretation of sensor data including human monitoring. The trajectory points from process-level semiconductor work toward intelligent, AI-driven perception systems — a move from the silicon layer toward the algorithmic and edge-deployment layer.

EVOTEL is moving up the value chain from semiconductor process design toward intelligent sensor systems and edge AI, making them an increasingly relevant partner for projects combining hardware proximity with AI-driven perception or safety monitoring.

How they like to work

EVOTEL has participated exclusively as a consortium partner — never as coordinator — across both recorded projects, indicating a preference or current capacity for specialist contributor roles rather than project leadership. Both projects were large pan-European initiatives, resulting in 72 unique partners from 13 countries across just two participations, which points to integration into major industry-led consortia rather than small academic collaborations. This profile suggests they bring a specific technical capability that larger consortium builders seek out, rather than driving the research agenda themselves.

With 72 unique partners across 13 countries from only two projects, EVOTEL has been embedded in large, geographically broad European consortia — the kind typical of ICT Pillar 2 microelectronics and mobility initiatives. No repeated partnership patterns can be established from two projects alone, but their reach is clearly European in scale.

What sets them apart

EVOTEL occupies an unusual niche as a small Galician IT firm with demonstrated participation in cutting-edge semiconductor and automotive perception research — sectors dominated by large industrial players and major institutes. Their combination of FDSOI semiconductor process knowledge and applied sensor AI gives them a cross-layer profile that is rare among SMEs of their size. For consortium builders needing an agile SME partner that bridges hardware design and AI-based perception systems, EVOTEL offers a technically specific entry point without the overhead of a large industrial partner.

Highlights from their portfolio

• OCEAN12
  Largest budget of the two projects (€98,750) and the most technically specialised, targeting FDSOI semiconductor technology at the 12nm node for autonomous driving — a domain usually reserved for major semiconductor companies.
• NextPerception
  Represents a clear evolution in EVOTEL's profile by combining multi-modal perception sensors (radar, lidar, ToF) with edge AI and explainable AI for human monitoring, signalling a strategic move toward intelligent sensing systems.
