LOCARD (2019–2022) focused on lawful collection, continuity, and blockchain-based integrity of digital evidence in internet-crime investigations.
INFOTREND INNOVATIONS COMPANY LIMITED
Cyprus tech SME specialising in blockchain digital forensics and AI-driven dementia risk prediction across EU research consortia.
Their core work
INFOTREND INNOVATIONS is a Cyprus-based technology SME whose work centres on applying data science, AI, and secure computing to sensitive, high-stakes domains. In the security space they contributed to building blockchain-backed digital evidence platforms designed to help law enforcement collect, preserve, and trace internet-crime evidence without chain-of-custody breaks. Their more recent work shifts that same data-processing capability toward health, specifically building personalised prediction models that identify early dementia risk and recommend lifestyle interventions. The common thread across both projects is handling sensitive personal data in trustworthy computational environments and turning it into actionable intelligence.
What they specialise in
LOCARD explicitly used blockchain and Trusted Execution Environments to guarantee tamper-proof evidence chains for law enforcement.
LETHE (2021–2025) applies data-driven prediction models to detect cognitive decline and dementia risk from lifestyle and clinical data.
LETHE centres on delivering personalised lifestyle intervention recommendations derived from an individual's dementia risk profile.
How they've shifted over time
INFOTREND's first H2020 engagement (2019) was squarely in cybersecurity and digital forensics — blockchain evidence chains, trusted execution environments, and tools for prosecuting internet crime. By 2021 they had pivoted entirely to health AI, with no security component visible in LETHE. The underlying technical skill — building predictive, data-intensive platforms that handle sensitive personal information securely — is consistent across both periods, suggesting the pivot is strategic rather than accidental.
INFOTREND appears to be deliberately repositioning from cybersecurity tooling toward digital health AI, making them a relevant partner for future health-data or predictive-medicine consortia that also require secure data handling.
How they like to work
INFOTREND has participated in all projects as a consortium partner, never as coordinator, which is typical for a small specialist SME that brings targeted technical capability rather than project management infrastructure. Their two projects collectively involved 36 unique partners across 15 countries, suggesting they are comfortable operating inside large, multi-national consortia. There is no evidence of repeated partnerships, which may simply reflect the small project count rather than deliberate network diversification.
With 36 unique consortium partners across 15 countries in just two projects, INFOTREND has built a surprisingly broad European network for its size — roughly 18 new partners per project. Their footprint spans multiple EU member states, consistent with pan-European RIA consortia.
What sets them apart
INFOTREND is one of very few SMEs with documented hands-on experience in both blockchain-based forensic evidence systems and AI-driven dementia prediction — two domains that rarely appear in the same organisation's portfolio. For consortium builders, this cross-domain profile is useful in projects that require both secure data infrastructure and predictive analytics, such as trusted health data spaces or digital identity platforms. Being Cyprus-based also adds geographic diversity to consortia seeking Southern European or island-economy representation for EEN or regional development justifications.
Highlights from their portfolio
- LOCARDEstablishes their foundational blockchain and trusted-computing expertise in an applied law-enforcement context, a technically demanding combination rarely seen in SMEs of this size.
- LETHETheir largest funded project (€328,750, running to 2025) and the clearest signal of a strategic pivot toward AI health prediction — still active and potentially generating current outputs and contacts.
