KONNEKT ABLE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Their core work

Konnekt-able Technologies is an Irish SME that builds AI and IoT software solutions for complex, safety-critical domains — from cybersecurity toolkits for healthcare to intelligent evacuation systems for passenger ships. They specialize in integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning into operational platforms across sectors like security, smart manufacturing, and urban water management. Their consistent role is bringing AI-driven analytics and decision-support capabilities into large European R&D consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Konnekt-able entered H2020 in 2018-2019 with a broad spread: big data for urban mobility, AI for healthcare cybersecurity, and IoT for water management. By 2020-2023, their focus sharpened toward two clear tracks — industrial manufacturing (cognitive digital twins, circular manufacturing, flexible production) and safety-critical systems (intelligent evacuation, crisis management, first responder technologies). The cybersecurity thread remained constant throughout, but shifted from healthcare-specific tools to energy infrastructure protection.

Moving toward AI-powered industrial and safety-critical applications, making them a strong candidate for future projects in smart factories, emergency response, or critical infrastructure protection.

How they like to work

Konnekt-able operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, instead bringing specialized AI/software capabilities into larger partnerships. With 162 unique partners across 26 countries, they maintain an exceptionally broad network for an SME of their size, suggesting they are valued as a flexible technology contributor rather than a project driver. Their involvement in both RIA and IA projects (4 each) shows they contribute from research through to near-market deployment.

Remarkably well-connected for a small Irish company: 162 unique consortium partners across 26 countries, built through 9 projects in just 3 years. Their network spans Southern, Northern, and Eastern Europe, with no visible geographic concentration beyond broad pan-European reach.

What sets them apart

Konnekt-able occupies an unusual niche: an SME that can apply AI and cybersecurity expertise across wildly different domains — from passenger ship evacuation to factory floor optimization to urban water management. This cross-domain versatility, combined with their 162-partner network, makes them an attractive consortium partner when you need proven AI integration capability without sector lock-in. For coordinators building proposals, they bring both technical depth in machine learning and a demonstrated ability to adapt to new application domains quickly.
