GREENAPES SRL

Their core work

greenApes develops software platforms that engage citizens and employees in sustainable behavior change. Their core product tracks and rewards eco-friendly actions, turning sustainability into a measurable, gamified experience. They contribute digital engagement tools to EU research consortia focused on reducing consumption footprints and promoting climate-positive lifestyles. Their work sits at the intersection of behavioral science, sustainability metrics, and user-facing app development.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

greenApes began in 2015 with a narrow focus on employee engagement for corporate eco-innovation (ECO-ENGAGE, an SME Phase 1 feasibility project). By 2017, they expanded into trusted smart city and mobility applications through GOEASY, adding location-based services to their portfolio. Their most recent project, PSLifestyle (2021-2025), marks a clear shift toward citizen-facing climate action tools, carbon footprint tracking, and policy-relevant citizen science — suggesting a move from B2B employee tools toward broader public engagement platforms.

greenApes is moving from internal corporate sustainability tools toward large-scale citizen engagement platforms for climate action, making them increasingly relevant for public-facing behavior change projects.

How they like to work

greenApes coordinated their first project (a small SME instrument feasibility study) and joined two larger Innovation Action consortia as a partner, contributing their software platform. With 21 unique partners across 11 countries from just 3 projects, they integrate well into diverse European consortia. Their pattern suggests they are a reliable technology contributor rather than a consortium leader — they bring a ready-made platform to projects that need a user engagement component.

Despite only three projects, greenApes has built a network spanning 21 partners across 11 countries, indicating they work in large, geographically diverse consortia. Their partnerships span environment, space/Galileo, and climate sectors across Western and Northern Europe.

What sets them apart

greenApes brings a rare combination: a working software product for sustainability engagement, not just research expertise. While many EU project partners contribute analysis or reports, greenApes provides an actual platform that can be deployed to end users during the project. For consortium builders, this means a partner who can deliver the citizen-facing or employee-facing digital component without building from scratch.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PSLifestyle
  Their largest funded project (EUR 145,425), directly aligned with EU Green Deal priorities on citizen behavior change, carbon footprint tracking, and evidence-based climate policy.
• GOEASY
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 207,594) and an unusual cross-domain project combining Galileo satellite positioning with sustainability and smart city applications.
• ECO-ENGAGE
  Their origin story — an SME Phase 1 project where greenApes validated their sustainability engagement platform concept as coordinator.
