INNOVACION Y CONSULTING TECNOLOGICO DE LEVANTE, S.L.

Their core work

INCOTEC LEVANTE is a Valencia-based technology innovation consultancy specialising in advanced manufacturing processes and their digital transformation. Their work centres on optimising industrial production of lightweight metal alloys — spanning casting, additive manufacturing, and sintering — with a particular focus on process monitoring, simulation, and quality characterisation. In more recent work they have moved toward AI-assisted manufacturing systems, contributing to platforms that help human operators manage and evolve AI tools on the factory floor. As an SME, they play the role of applied technology bridge between academic research and industrial upscaling, bringing practical consulting expertise into large EU consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

INCOTEC LEVANTE's H2020 record spans only 2019–2024, so there is no truly early period to contrast with. Within that short window, however, there is a visible directional shift: their first project (LightMe) is grounded in physical manufacturing processes — materials, heat treatment, shaping, and measurement — while their second project (TEAMING.AI) moves entirely into the digital layer, focusing on AI governance and human-machine collaboration on the shop floor. This suggests the company is deliberately expanding from process-level manufacturing expertise into the operational technology and AI space, tracking the broader Industry 4.0 transition in European manufacturing.

INCOTEC LEVANTE appears to be repositioning from materials-process consulting toward digital manufacturing and AI-augmented production systems — making them a potentially useful partner for projects combining physical manufacturing with intelligent automation.

How they like to work

INCOTEC LEVANTE has never led an H2020 project, participating either as a full consortium member or as a third party — a pattern typical of specialist consultancies that contribute defined expertise without taking on project management responsibility. Their involvement in LightMe, a large open-innovation consortium spanning 43 partners across 16 countries, shows they are comfortable operating inside complex multi-stakeholder structures. This profile suggests they are best approached as a focused contributor rather than a consortium anchor.

Through just two projects, INCOTEC LEVANTE has built connections with 43 unique consortium partners spanning 16 countries — a notably broad reach for a two-project SME, driven largely by the large-scale LightMe open innovation consortium. Their network skews toward the European manufacturing and ICT research community.

What sets them apart

INCOTEC LEVANTE occupies a specific niche as a Spanish SME consultancy that connects advanced materials processing with digital manufacturing intelligence — a combination that remains underrepresented among EU research partners. Based in Valencia, a region with strong industrial and automotive supply-chain infrastructure, they are well-positioned to bring grounded industrial application knowledge that pure research organisations typically lack. Their dual presence in both a materials-focused IA project and an AI-focused platform project signals genuine cross-domain capability rather than a single-track technical profile.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LightMe
  The flagship project for this organisation: a large-scale Innovation Action with EUR 280,875 in EC funding, embedding INCOTEC in a 43-partner open innovation ecosystem targeting lightweight alloy production upscaling across casting, additive manufacturing, and sintering.
• TEAMING.AI
  Signals a strategic pivot toward AI-augmented manufacturing — INCOTEC joined as a third party, indicating targeted specialist contribution to a human-AI teaming platform without primary funding, which is notable for a small consultancy.
