GENILLARD & CO GMBH

Their core work

Genillard & Co is a Munich-based SME that specializes in risk assessment, data analytics, and digital innovation across insurance, finance, and maritime sectors. They bring expertise in catastrophe risk modeling, IoT/BigData sandbox environments, and digital ocean technologies — bridging the gap between complex data systems and practical industry applications. Their work spans from climate extremes risk platforms to fintech regulatory sandboxes and maritime digital twins.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Genillard & Co began with catastrophe risk modeling for the insurance industry (H2020_Insurance, 2017), then expanded into broader fintech/insurtech digital infrastructure with IoT, blockchain, and regulatory sandboxes (INFINITECH, 2019). Their most recent project (ILIAD, 2022) marks a pivot toward maritime digital twins and ocean data visualisation. The trajectory shows a consistent thread of data-intensive platforms, but applied to increasingly diverse domains — from insurance risk to ocean economy.

Moving from sector-specific risk analytics toward broader digital twin and data platform capabilities, with growing interest in maritime and environmental applications.

How they like to work

Genillard & Co operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator, suggesting they contribute specialized expertise rather than leading large initiatives. With 138 unique consortium partners across 30 countries from just 3 projects, they consistently join very large Innovation Action consortia. This makes them an experienced partner comfortable in complex, multi-national project structures — useful for coordinators building big consortia who need reliable contributors.

Despite only 3 projects, Genillard & Co has built connections with 138 unique partners across 30 countries — a remarkably wide network driven by participation in large-scale Innovation Actions. Their reach is genuinely pan-European with no obvious geographic concentration.

What sets them apart

Genillard & Co sits at an unusual intersection: insurance/finance risk expertise combined with emerging maritime digital capabilities. Few SMEs can credibly contribute to both fintech regulatory sandboxes and ocean digital twins. For consortium builders, they offer a rare profile — a compact private company with deep experience in large IA consortia and a track record of working across seemingly unrelated sectors united by data platform challenges.
