PANOPTIS developed a decision support system for road infrastructure resilience; SMILE addressed smart mobility at European land borders.
FUTURE INTELLIGENCE LTD
UK technology SME building decision support systems and IoT platforms for transport infrastructure resilience, cybersecurity, and smart mobility.
Their core work
Future Intelligence (FINT) is a London-based technology SME that builds decision support systems and intelligent data platforms for security, transport, and IoT domains. Their work spans cybersecurity solutions for SME ecosystems, smart border mobility systems, resilience assessment tools for road infrastructure, and next-generation IoT architectures. They bring software engineering and data analytics capability to EU consortia tackling real-world challenges in infrastructure protection and digital connectivity.
What they specialise in
FORTIKA built a cybersecurity accelerator for trusted SME IT ecosystems.
TERMINET (2020-2024) focuses on next-generation smart interconnected IoT, their most recent and ongoing project.
PANOPTIS included identification of climate risk hot-spots and quantitative vulnerability assessment for road networks.
How they've shifted over time
FINT's early H2020 work (2017) covered cybersecurity (FORTIKA) and border mobility (SMILE) — two distinct security-adjacent domains. From 2018 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward infrastructure resilience and IoT, with PANOPTIS bringing climate-aware decision support for transport and TERMINET pushing into next-generation IoT architectures. The trajectory shows a move from broad security applications toward specialized intelligent systems for physical infrastructure and connected devices.
FINT is converging on intelligent infrastructure monitoring — combining IoT connectivity with decision support systems for transport and climate resilience, making them a strong fit for future smart infrastructure calls.
How they like to work
FINT operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which suggests they contribute specialized technical components rather than driving project strategy. With 66 unique partners across 20 countries from just 4 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia and are comfortable integrating into complex multi-partner setups. This makes them a low-friction partner to onboard — experienced in collaborative delivery without requiring the lead role.
Despite only 4 projects, FINT has built a broad network of 66 partners across 20 countries, indicating participation in large consortia with wide European reach. Their connections span security, transport, and digital sectors.
What sets them apart
FINT sits at the intersection of IoT, cybersecurity, and transport infrastructure — a combination few SMEs cover. Their ability to build decision support systems that integrate climate risk data with infrastructure monitoring gives them a practical niche that bridges the digital and physical worlds. For consortium builders, they offer a UK-based software partner comfortable in large multi-country projects with consistent mid-range funding contributions.
Highlights from their portfolio
