FSAS TECHNOLOGIES GMBH

Their core work

FSAS Technologies (formerly Fujitsu Technology Solutions) is the German subsidiary of Fujitsu, one of Japan's largest IT services and infrastructure companies. They design, build, and operate enterprise computing systems — from high-performance servers and storage to cloud platforms and managed IT services. In EU research projects, they contribute industrial-grade hardware expertise, cloud infrastructure, and real-world testbed environments for validating technologies in sectors like finance, IoT security, and smart services. Their Munich base positions them at the heart of Germany's enterprise IT ecosystem.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

FSAS Technologies began its H2020 participation (2015-2018) firmly rooted in hardware-level computing: exascale I/O systems, non-volatile memory architectures, and HPC-cloud storage convergence. From 2018 onward, their focus shifted decisively upward in the stack — toward IoT security, financial infrastructure protection, serverless computing, and multi-cloud optimization. This mirrors Fujitsu's broader corporate pivot from hardware manufacturing toward cloud services and digital solutions.

FSAS is moving from infrastructure hardware toward cloud-native services and sector-specific digital platforms, making them increasingly relevant for projects needing enterprise cloud deployment and testbed environments.

How they like to work

FSAS never coordinates projects — they consistently join as a participant or third party, contributing infrastructure, testbeds, and industrial validation rather than leading research agendas. With 109 unique partners across 19 countries, they operate in large consortia (typical for RIA/IA projects) and appear to engage broadly rather than returning to the same partners. This makes them a reliable, low-friction industrial partner: they bring real computing infrastructure and enterprise credibility without competing for project leadership.

FSAS has collaborated with 109 distinct partners across 19 countries, reflecting the wide European reach expected of a major IT company participating in large RIA and IA consortia. Their network spans academia, research institutes, and industry across most of Western and Southern Europe.

What sets them apart

As a Fujitsu subsidiary, FSAS brings something rare to EU consortia: direct access to a global IT manufacturer's hardware, cloud platforms, and enterprise client base for real-world validation. Unlike pure research partners, they can offer production-grade infrastructure as testbeds. Unlike other large IT companies in H2020, their specific combination of HPC heritage and cloud/fintech pivot makes them particularly valuable for projects that need to bridge high-performance computing with modern service architectures.

Highlights from their portfolio

• NEXTGenIO
  Largest single grant (€2.785M) — tackling next-generation exascale I/O with non-volatile memory, representing Fujitsu's core hardware R&D strength.
• INFINITECH
  Ambitious cross-domain project applying IoT, blockchain, and big data sandboxes to finance and insurance — signals FSAS's strategic shift toward regulated digital services.
• PHYSICS
  Most recent project exploring serverless FaaS across eHealth, smart agriculture, and manufacturing — shows the breadth of their cloud platform ambitions.
