IOTAM INTERNET OF THINGS APPLICATIONS AND MULTI LAYER DEVELOPMENT LTD

Their core work

IOTAM is a Cyprus-based technology SME specializing in IoT platforms, cybersecurity solutions, and secure data management for complex multi-domain systems. They build software layers that connect sensors, networks, and analytics — particularly for security-critical applications like supply chain protection, healthcare informatics, and automated vehicle systems. Their work spans from real-time threat detection and distributed ledger security to AI-driven situational awareness in transport and defense contexts.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

IOTAM's early projects (2018–2019) were broad and exploratory — spanning circular economy IoT, automated vehicle sensing, ship evacuation AI, and crime analytics. From 2020 onward, a clear concentration emerged around cybersecurity, with four consecutive security-focused projects addressing healthcare, e-commerce, supply chains, and real-time threat hunting. Their most recent project (EnerMan, 2021) signals a potential pivot toward applying their IoT and security expertise to energy-efficient manufacturing.

IOTAM is converging on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure and supply chains, with their largest funding going to industrial manufacturing — suggesting they may next target cyber-physical security for Industry 4.0.

How they like to work

IOTAM operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a technology SME contributing specialized components to larger research efforts. With 205 unique partners across 26 countries in just 9 projects, they work in large consortia and connect with a wide variety of organizations rather than repeating partnerships. This makes them an accessible, experienced partner comfortable integrating into diverse teams without needing to lead.

IOTAM has built a remarkably wide network for its size — 205 unique partners across 26 countries from just 9 projects, averaging over 22 partners per consortium. Their reach is pan-European with no obvious geographic concentration, reflecting their participation in large-scale security and digital infrastructure projects.

What sets them apart

IOTAM sits at a rare intersection of IoT system integration and applied cybersecurity — they can build the connected system and secure it. Their breadth across domains (transport, healthcare, manufacturing, law enforcement) means they understand security requirements in very different operational contexts. For consortium builders, they offer a flexible technology partner from Cyprus who brings both IoT middleware and security-by-design thinking without competing for coordination roles.

Highlights from their portfolio
