ENCORE focused on BIM cloud platforms with LiDAR, photogrammetry, UAV, and augmented reality; NANOTUN3D involved digital workflow development for advanced manufacturing.
LAURENTIA TECHNOLOGIES SLL
Spanish technology SME building data platforms, 3D visualization, and software infrastructure for EU research projects across manufacturing, nano-safety, and energy.
Their core work
Laurentia Technologies is a Valencia-based SME specializing in digital visualization, 3D scanning, and software development for technical applications. They build tools using BIM, LiDAR, photogrammetry, UAV data, computer vision, and augmented reality — initially for building renovation and energy efficiency, and more recently for nanotechnology safety platforms and computational modeling. Their core competence is developing software infrastructure and data-sharing platforms that make complex scientific or engineering data accessible and usable.
What they specialise in
SbD4Nano and SUNSHINE both involve computing infrastructure for nano-safety data, safe-by-design strategies, and multi-scale modelling of nanomaterials.
ENCORE explicitly lists computer vision, computer graphics, and augmented reality; NANOTUN3D involved complete digital workflow development.
Across ENCORE (BIM cloud platform), SbD4Nano (computing infrastructure), SUNSHINE (data-sharing for nanomaterials), and SunCoChem, they consistently provide the software/data layer.
SunCoChem involved photoelectrocatalytic devices for CO2-to-chemicals conversion, where Laurentia likely contributed data or visualization tools.
How they've shifted over time
Laurentia started in the built environment and construction tech space (2015–2019), working on 3D scanning, BIM, augmented reality, and digital workflows for manufacturing and building renovation. From 2020 onward, they pivoted sharply toward nanotechnology safety and green chemistry, contributing computing infrastructure for safe-by-design nanomaterials and CO2 conversion projects. The thread connecting both periods is their role as a software and data platform provider — the domain changed, but the technical contribution (visualization, data infrastructure, modelling tools) remained consistent.
Laurentia is moving from construction-tech visualization toward scientific data infrastructure for nanotechnology and green chemistry, suggesting they are positioning as a cross-domain software platform provider for research projects.
How they like to work
Laurentia operates exclusively as a project participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a technology SME providing specialized software components to larger consortia. With 92 unique partners across 22 countries in just 5 projects, they work in large research consortia (averaging ~18 partners per project). This broad but non-leading pattern suggests they are a reliable specialist contributor that teams recruit when they need software, visualization, or data platform capabilities.
Despite only 5 projects, Laurentia has built an impressively wide network of 92 unique partners across 22 countries, reflecting their participation in large EU research consortia. Their reach spans most of Europe with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Spanish base.
What sets them apart
Laurentia's differentiator is their ability to transfer software and visualization expertise across very different scientific domains — from construction BIM to nanomaterial safety to green chemistry. Few SMEs can credibly serve as the data infrastructure partner in both a building renovation project and a nanotechnology safe-by-design initiative. For consortium builders, they offer a proven, flexible software team that adapts its platform skills to whatever domain the project requires.
Highlights from their portfolio
- ENCORETheir largest funded project (EUR 374,935) and most keyword-rich, combining BIM, LiDAR, UAV, AR, and computer vision into a cloud platform for cost-effective building renovation.
- SunCoChemAn unusual pivot into green chemistry — a photoelectrocatalytic device for converting CO2 into chemicals using sunlight, showing Laurentia's ability to contribute software tools in unexpected scientific domains.
- SUNSHINEAddresses the emerging EU regulatory priority of safe-and-sustainable-by-design strategies for advanced nanomaterials, with multi-scale modelling and regulatory guidance adaptation.
