FUJITSU TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS

Their core work

Fujitsu Technology Solutions (operating in France as Fujitsu France) is the European subsidiary of Fujitsu, one of the world's largest IT infrastructure and services companies. In H2020 research, they contribute enterprise-grade ICT capabilities — particularly in IoT platforms, big data analytics, and digital infrastructure — to applied innovation projects targeting the financial sector. Their involvement in EU projects typically means bringing real-world deployment infrastructure, technology integration experience, and industrial-scale testing environments that academic or SME partners cannot provide. They sit at the intersection of financial services digitization, cybersecurity, and regulatory technology.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Fujitsu's H2020 track begins in the security domain — FINSEC (2018) focused on protecting financial infrastructure from threats — before expanding into a broader fintech digitization agenda with INFINITECH (2019), which added IoT, BigData, blockchain, and regulatory sandboxes to the mix. The shift reflects a move from a defensive security posture to active digital infrastructure building for financial services. Given that both projects are finance-focused, the trajectory suggests deepening specialization in financial sector digital transformation rather than broadening into new industries.

Fujitsu appears to be deepening its position as a technology infrastructure provider for financial sector digitization, combining security, data analytics, IoT, and regulatory compliance into an integrated fintech platform offering.

How they like to work

Fujitsu never leads EU projects — they join as participant or third party, consistent with how large technology corporations use H2020 to validate and integrate their platforms in real-world settings. Their projects feature very large consortia (up to 68 partners across 18 countries), suggesting they are comfortable operating in complex multi-partner environments where they provide technology components rather than overall project direction. For potential partners, this means Fujitsu brings industrial-grade tools and infrastructure but expects others to handle research coordination and project management.

Fujitsu France has collaborated with 68 unique partners across 18 countries through just two projects, reflecting the large-consortium nature of both FINSEC and INFINITECH. Their network spans European fintech, cybersecurity, and regulatory ecosystems.

What sets them apart

As the French arm of a global IT giant, Fujitsu brings enterprise-scale infrastructure and industrial deployment credibility that few H2020 participants can match — particularly in IoT platforms, HTAP analytics, and big data processing at financial-sector scale. Their combination of fintech focus, regulatory compliance experience, and testbed infrastructure makes them a strong industry anchor for consortia that need credible, near-market validation environments. They are not a research organization; they are the link between research outputs and actual enterprise deployment.

Highlights from their portfolio

• INFINITECH
  The largest and most substantive H2020 engagement for Fujitsu France — a 4-year Innovation Action covering IoT, BigData, blockchain, and regulatory sandboxes for fintech, with EUR 480,550 in EC funding and a large European consortium.
• FINSEC
  Fujitsu's entry into EU-funded research through a financial infrastructure cybersecurity project, where they contributed as a third party — a role that highlights their position as a recognized technology provider rather than a primary research actor.
