INQBIT INNOVATIONS SRL

Their core work

INQBIT Innovations is a Romanian technology SME specializing in cloud-native software development and next-generation network architectures. Their work spans serverless and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, multi-cloud orchestration, and 5G network programmability — building the middleware and SDKs that make distributed computing practical at scale. In PHYSICS they contributed to optimizing hybrid cloud service continuums, while in EVOLVED-5G they worked on multi-domain network orchestration and vertical industry enablement over 5G. Their practical engineering focus connects infrastructure-layer work (network slicing, TSN, CAPIF APIs) with application-layer outcomes in eHealth, smart manufacturing, and precision agriculture.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both projects started simultaneously in 2021, so the keyword split reflects parallel rather than sequential expertise — INQBIT was working on cloud FaaS optimization and 5G network programmability at the same time. That said, the thematic contrast is meaningful: PHYSICS anchored their work in compute-layer concerns (serverless, cloud design patterns, multi-cloud), while EVOLVED-5G anchored it in connectivity-layer concerns (network programmability, multi-domain orchestration, TSN). The trajectory suggests INQBIT is positioning itself at the intersection of cloud and 5G — the infrastructure convergence that defines the current edge computing wave.

INQBIT appears to be moving toward the convergence of cloud-native and 5G infrastructure, a space where demand is growing fast as telcos and enterprises build edge computing stacks for Industry 4.0 applications.

How they like to work

INQBIT has participated exclusively as a consortium partner — never as coordinator — across both projects. Despite the small project count, they have accumulated 39 unique partners across 12 countries, indicating they join large, well-connected international consortia rather than small bilateral collaborations. This pattern suggests they are valued as a specialist technical contributor brought in for specific engineering capabilities, rather than as a project management or consortium-building entity.

With 39 unique consortium partners across 12 countries from just two projects, INQBIT operates within dense, multinational research networks — averaging roughly 20 partners per project. Their geographic reach spans at least a dozen European countries, consistent with large RIA and IA consortium structures typical in ICT Pillar 2 calls.

What sets them apart

INQBIT is one of the few Romanian private SMEs with demonstrated hands-on involvement in both serverless cloud architecture and 5G network programmability within the same H2020 cycle — a rare dual competency in a market where cloud and telco expertise usually sit in separate companies. As a small private firm rather than a university or institute, they bring engineering execution capacity rather than pure research output, which is valuable to consortia that need working implementations. For project coordinators building ICT consortia that need a technically agile Eastern European SME at the cloud-network convergence layer, INQBIT fills a specific and uncommon gap.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PHYSICS
  Highest-funded of their two projects (€260,000) and the broadest in application scope, targeting FaaS optimization across eHealth, smart agriculture, and smart manufacturing simultaneously.
• EVOLVED-5G
  Places INQBIT inside a cutting-edge 5G experimentation project covering CAPIF and SEAL standards — both active ETSI/3GPP specifications — giving them rare credentials in standardized 5G API frameworks.
