What they do

Their core work

Konnecta Systems is a Dublin-based technology SME that provides digital integration and data-driven solutions across multiple sectors. Their core capability appears to be connecting systems and data flows — from transport network simulation and blockchain-based logistics to digital twins for critical infrastructure and building information modelling. They act as a technology enabler, bringing data platforms, simulation tools, and systems integration expertise into large European consortia tackling sector-specific challenges in transport, security, food, and energy.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Transport and logistics digitalizationprimary

2 projects

IW-NET (inland waterways automation and simulation) and PLANET (TEN-T integration, blockchain, synchromodality) both focus on digital tools for freight and transport networks.

Data platforms and data spacesprimary

3 projects

ZeroW explicitly involves data spaces and data-driven applications; PLANET uses blockchain and digital trade networks; PRECINCT employs digital twins — all requiring data integration architecture.

Digital twins and simulationsecondary

3 projects

PRECINCT uses digital twins and serious games for critical infrastructure; IW-NET applies simulation and traffic management; PLANET involves TEN-T modelling.

Building information modelling and green buildingsemerging

1 project

PROBONO project covers BIM, green buildings, energy performance of buildings, and building-integrated photovoltaics.

Food system data analyticsemerging

1 project

ZeroW targets zero food waste through systemic innovation, data spaces, and data-driven policy recommendations.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus

Transport network digitalization

Recent focus

Cross-sector data integration

Konnecta Systems entered H2020 in 2020 with a clear transport and logistics focus — inland waterways automation, synchromodality, blockchain for supply chains, and TEN-T network modelling. By 2021-2022, they shifted toward broader digital infrastructure applications: digital twins for critical infrastructure security (PRECINCT), then data spaces for food waste reduction (ZeroW) and BIM for green buildings (PROBONO). The trajectory shows a company that started in transport-specific digital tools and is now applying its data integration capabilities across energy, food, and security domains.

Konnecta is broadening from transport-specific tools into a general-purpose data integration and digital twin provider, making them increasingly relevant for multi-sector projects involving data spaces and systems modelling.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European28 countries collaborated

Konnecta operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, joining large multi-partner projects (187 unique partners across 5 projects, averaging ~37 partners per consortium). This profile suggests they serve as a specialist technology contributor embedded in major Innovation Actions and Research projects. Their willingness to work across very different sectors (transport, security, food, buildings) indicates flexibility and adaptability as a partner — they bring digital tooling to whatever domain the consortium addresses.

Extensive network of 187 unique consortium partners across 28 countries, built entirely through participation in large-scale projects. Their reach spans nearly all of Europe, reflecting the broad geographic composition of the major IA and RIA projects they join.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Konnecta's distinguishing feature is their ability to apply the same data integration and digital systems expertise across radically different domains — from inland waterway logistics to food waste to green buildings. For consortium builders, this means a single technology partner who can handle data platforms, simulation, and digital twin components without needing deep retraining on each new sector. Their SME agility combined with experience in 5 large consortia makes them a low-risk, high-flexibility choice for projects needing cross-domain digital infrastructure.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

PRECINCT
Largest single EC contribution (EUR 304,244) and their entry into critical infrastructure security through digital twins and serious games — a significant domain expansion.
PLANET
Combines blockchain, physical internet concepts, and TEN-T modelling for global trade network integration — their most technically ambitious transport project.
ZeroW
Represents their pivot into food systems and data spaces, demonstrating cross-sector versatility well beyond their transport origins.

Analysis note: With only 5 projects (2020-2022) and no website available, the profile is inferred primarily from project keywords and funding patterns. The cross-sector versatility is clear from the data, but Konnecta's specific product or platform offering remains uncertain — they may provide a specific software product or general consulting/integration services. No coordinator experience limits insight into their independent technical leadership capacity.
