IMG INTERNET SRL

Their core work

IMG Internet is a Milan-based digital SME that provided services to three H2020 projects as a linked third party — meaning they were brought in by a main beneficiary to deliver a specific scope of work rather than as a full consortium member. Their web presence (imginternet.com) and the communication-heavy keywords across smart city, water monitoring, and agri-food projects point to digital communication, dissemination, web platform, or ICT support services for EU-funded consortia. They do not appear to be a research or technology developer in any of these domains — they are a service supplier that helps projects reach audiences, run platforms, or manage online engagement. For partners, their value is operational delivery on communication and digital infrastructure, not scientific contribution.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their 2015 engagement on REMOURBAN sat firmly in the smart city space — lighthouse cities, low-energy districts, sustainable mobility and citizen engagement. By 2016 they had moved onto two very different topics in parallel: remote-sensing water leak detection on WADI and short food supply chain innovation on SKIN. The pattern is not a thematic shift but a widening — from one urban-regeneration project to a portfolio of unrelated domains, consistent with a service provider picking up work wherever a consortium needs digital or communication support.

They are trending toward a sector-agnostic service role, so expect them as a communication or digital delivery partner rather than a technical co-developer in a future consortium.

How they like to work

IMG Internet has never coordinated or been a full beneficiary in H2020 — all three engagements are as a third party, meaning they join through another consortium member. Despite this limited formal role, they have appeared in large consortia that collectively involve 63 partners across 18 countries, indicating exposure to major multi-country projects. Working with them means engaging a specialist supplier brought in for a defined task, not a strategic consortium partner.

Across three projects they have been adjacent to 63 unique partners in 18 countries, giving them indirect exposure to a broad European consortium network. There is no evidence of a dominant geographic cluster beyond their Italian base.

What sets them apart

What differentiates IMG Internet from technical SMEs in the same projects is that they are not tied to any single scientific domain — they have been plugged into smart city, water surveillance and agri-food projects with equal ease. This makes them a useful operational partner for coordinators who need reliable digital or communication delivery and do not want a partner with competing research interests. They are a safer fit for execution tasks than for topics requiring scientific co-authorship.

Highlights from their portfolio

• REMOURBAN
  Large smart-city lighthouse project covering energy, mobility and citizen engagement — their longest engagement and likely entry point into EU work.
• WADI
  Airborne multi-spectral water leak detection — a highly technical remote-sensing project where they supported market uptake and service-oriented activities.
• SKIN
  Thematic network on short food supply chains and EIP-AGRI innovation support — relevant for anyone looking at rural innovation communication.
