Their core work

UBITECH is a Greek software engineering SME that builds data integration platforms, cloud orchestration tools, and security middleware for large-scale European research and industry projects. They specialize in connecting heterogeneous data sources, deploying services across cloud-edge-fog environments, and implementing privacy-preserving architectures. Their practical contribution across 43 H2020 projects centers on developing the software "glue" — interoperability layers, data pipelines, orchestration engines, and access control frameworks — that makes complex multi-partner systems actually work. They bring this integration expertise into domains ranging from energy grids and healthcare to 5G networks and cybersecurity.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In 2014–2018, UBITECH focused on foundational cloud infrastructure: data encryption, access control policies (XACML), cloud security by design (PaaSword), and multi-cloud orchestration (ARCADIA, UNICORN). Their early keyword signature — interoperability, physical distribution, policies enforcement — reveals a company building secure middleware for distributed systems. From 2019 onward, the focus shifted decisively toward applied AI, blockchain, and domain-specific data platforms in energy, health, and cybersecurity. The recent keyword explosion around artificial intelligence, explainable AI, energy efficiency, and data-driven business models shows a company that has moved up the stack from infrastructure plumbing to intelligent, domain-aware data services.

UBITECH is moving from generic cloud middleware toward AI-powered, domain-specific data platforms — expect them to pitch explainable AI and blockchain-secured data exchange in future proposals.

How they like to work

UBITECH operates overwhelmingly as a technical partner (37 of 43 projects), contributing software components to large consortia rather than setting the research agenda. With 573 unique partners across 36 countries, they are a high-connectivity hub — not locked into a small circle but instead plugging into diverse teams wherever their integration and platform skills are needed. Their 5 coordinator roles (ICARUS, FARCROSS, ASCAPE, RAINBOW, and one more) are all in areas where software platform design IS the core deliverable, suggesting they step up to lead when the project is essentially a software engineering challenge.

With 573 unique consortium partners spanning 36 countries, UBITECH has one of the densest collaboration networks among Greek SMEs in H2020. Their partnerships are spread broadly across Western and Southern Europe, with strong connections to academic institutions and research centers in the security and digital domains.

What sets them apart

UBITECH occupies a rare niche as a Greek SME that can deliver production-grade software platforms — not just research prototypes — across wildly different domains (health, energy, security, agriculture, 5G). Their differentiator is versatility: while most technical SMEs specialize in one vertical, UBITECH's core skill (data integration, orchestration, security middleware) is horizontal, making them a reliable "platform builder" partner for almost any data-intensive consortium. Their 43-project track record and ability to coordinate projects like ASCAPE (AI for cancer care) and FARCROSS (cross-border electricity) demonstrate they can deliver in domains far from their home turf of cloud computing.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ASCAPE
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 637K) and coordinator role applying AI to cancer patient quality of life — a significant leap from their cloud infrastructure roots into health AI.
• FARCROSS
  Coordinator of a cross-border electricity transmission project (EUR 416K), demonstrating UBITECH's ability to lead in the energy domain, not just digital infrastructure.
• RAINBOW
  Coordinated an open fog computing platform with trusted computing and mesh networking — represents their core technical identity of building secure, distributed orchestration systems.
