IZERTIS SOCIEDAD ANONIMA

Their core work

Izertis is a Spanish technology services SME that provides software development, IT consulting, and digital solutions to EU research consortia across multiple domains. Rather than owning deep expertise in any single scientific field, they serve as a technology partner — building platforms, data systems, and digital tools that support projects in energy, agriculture, and security. Their participation across unrelated sectors (consumer energy behavior, belowground biodiversity in farming, electrochemical drug detection at borders) points to a horizontal IT capabilities provider embedding into domain-specific research teams.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Izertis entered H2020 in 2015 with NATCONSUMERS, a project focused on consumer energy behavior and sustainability communication. By 2019, they had diversified into two very different domains — agricultural biodiversity (EXCALIBUR) and border security sensors (BorderSens). This trajectory suggests the company grew its capacity to serve as a technology partner in increasingly technical and applied domains, moving from consumer-facing digital tools toward more complex systems involving sensor data and multi-actor agricultural platforms.

Izertis is expanding from general IT services into more specialized applied technology roles in security and agriculture, suggesting growing appetite for technically demanding consortium work.

How they like to work

Izertis operates exclusively as a participant, never leading consortia — consistent with a technology services SME that joins projects to deliver specific IT components rather than driving the research agenda. Despite only three projects, they have worked with 42 unique partners across 19 countries, which indicates they integrate easily into large, diverse consortia. This broad but shallow network profile suggests they are a flexible, low-friction partner to onboard.

Izertis has built a surprisingly wide network for a three-project participant: 42 unique partners across 19 countries, reflecting involvement in large multi-national consortia. No obvious geographic concentration — their partnerships span broadly across Europe.

What sets them apart

Izertis stands out as a versatile Spanish tech SME that can plug into research consortia regardless of domain. While many SMEs specialize narrowly, Izertis has demonstrated the ability to contribute meaningful IT work in energy, food, and security — three completely different sectors. For consortium builders, they offer a reliable technology partner who can handle software development, platform integration, or digital dissemination without requiring deep onboarding into the scientific domain.

Highlights from their portfolio

• BorderSens
  Largest funding share (EUR 419,812) and most technically demanding project — electrochemical sensors for illicit drug detection at borders, indicating capacity for security-grade technology work.
• EXCALIBUR
  Long-running project (2019-2025) on belowground biodiversity in horticulture, showing sustained commitment and involvement in agricultural innovation with multi-actor coordination.
