JEMA ENERGY SA

Their core work

JEMA Energy is a Spanish power electronics and energy conversion company that designs and manufactures systems for electric vehicle charging, grid-scale energy storage, and industrial power applications. In H2020 projects, they contributed expertise in fast charging infrastructure for heavy-duty electric vehicles (buses, trucks, vans) and power conversion technologies for smart transmission grids. They also participated in digitization efforts for European electronics and manufacturing processes, reflecting their industrial power systems background.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

JEMA's early H2020 work (2017) centered on electrified transport — specifically fast charging infrastructure and total-cost-of-ownership optimization for electric fleets. Their later entry (2018) into iDev40 signals a move toward digitization of power electronics manufacturing and Industry 4.0 integration. Across just three projects, they show a consistent thread of power electronics applied to different domains: transport electrification, grid flexibility, and smart manufacturing.

JEMA is broadening from transport electrification hardware into grid-integrated power systems and digitized manufacturing, positioning themselves at the intersection of energy transition and Industry 4.0.

How they like to work

JEMA operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator, which is typical of an industrial company contributing specialized hardware and engineering know-how to large research consortia. With 120 unique partners across 22 countries in just 3 projects, they work in very large Innovation Action consortia (averaging 40 partners per project). This suggests they are a trusted industrial partner brought in for their power electronics capabilities rather than a project initiator.

Despite only 3 projects, JEMA has built a remarkably wide network of 120 partners across 22 countries, reflecting the large-scale Innovation Actions they join. Their reach spans most of Europe with no apparent geographic concentration beyond their Spanish base.

What sets them apart

JEMA bridges the gap between power electronics hardware manufacturing and EU-funded innovation in transport, energy, and digital sectors. Their strength is in actual product development — charging systems, power converters, grid equipment — not just research. For consortium builders, they offer an industrial partner that can take research concepts through to manufactured power electronics products, with demonstrated experience in both transport electrification and grid-scale energy systems.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FLEXITRANSTORE
  Their largest H2020 investment (EUR 1.37M) in smart grid flexibility and storage — signals this as a core strategic priority for the company.
• ASSURED
  Focused on fast charging for full-size urban heavy-duty vehicles (buses, trucks), addressing a critical infrastructure gap in urban electrification.
