What they do
Their core work
INFORMEST CONSULTING is an Italian consultancy based in Udine that provides innovation management support and key account services to SMEs in the Triveneto region (Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige). Their core work is helping small and medium enterprises access EU funding instruments, particularly the SME Instrument under Horizon 2020. They operate as a regional intermediary, guiding SMEs through proposal preparation, innovation strategy, and competitiveness improvement. All their H2020 involvement is through Coordination and Support Actions focused on this SME facilitation role.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
SME innovation support services
Recent focus
SME innovation support services
Their focus has been remarkably consistent from 2015 to 2021, with no meaningful shift in expertise or thematic direction. The MAKEOVER project (2015-2016) established their role as an SME support intermediary, and the three successive KAIROS projects (2017-2021) continued the identical mission with minor branding adjustments. The only detectable change is the addition of an Energy sector tag starting with KAIROS, but the project descriptions remain centered on SME support rather than energy technology.
They are a steady-state SME support provider with no visible pivot — expect continued focus on regional innovation intermediation rather than thematic specialization.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: active_partnerReach: regional1 countries collaborated
INFORMEST CONSULTING has never coordinated a project, participating exclusively as a partner in all four H2020 actions. They work within a relatively stable network of 16 partners concentrated in a single country (Italy), suggesting a regionally anchored consortium model rather than broad European networking. Their repeated participation in essentially the same project (KAIROS ran three consecutive editions) indicates loyalty to established partnerships rather than seeking diverse consortium opportunities.
Their network of 16 unique partners is concentrated entirely within Italy, reflecting their regional mandate to serve Triveneto SMEs. This is a tight, domestically focused network rather than a pan-European one.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
INFORMEST CONSULTING offers deep familiarity with the SME ecosystem in northeastern Italy, particularly the Triveneto region. Their value lies not in technical research but in bridging local businesses to EU funding opportunities — they know the companies, the territory, and the application process. For consortium builders needing an Italian SME engagement partner with ground-level access to the Triveneto business community, they are a practical choice.
