INTERMODEL EU focused on BIM methodology for multimodal, multipurpose transport terminal simulation.
MACOMI BV
Dutch SME providing digital simulation, BIM modeling, and data analytics for multimodal transport infrastructure and port efficiency.
Their core work
MACOMI BV is a Dutch SME specializing in digital simulation and data-driven decision support for transport infrastructure. Their project portfolio points to expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM) applied to multimodal transport terminals, big data analytics for transport investment decisions, and port efficiency optimization. They appear to operate at the intersection of digital modeling tools and transport logistics, helping plan and optimize complex infrastructure systems.
What they specialise in
NOESIS developed decision support tools for evaluating strategic big data investments in transport.
PIONEERS addresses port innovation for efficiency and emissions reduction, their most recent and longest-running project.
Both INTERMODEL EU and PIONEERS deal with multimodal transport nodes — terminals and ports respectively.
How they've shifted over time
MACOMI's early work (2016-2019) centered on digital modeling and data analytics for transport infrastructure — BIM simulation for multimodal terminals and big data decision support tools. Their most recent project (PIONEERS, 2021-2026) shifts toward port operations with a clear sustainability angle, focusing on emissions reduction and operational efficiency. This suggests a move from pure digital modeling toward applied green transport solutions.
MACOMI is transitioning from general transport digitalization toward green port operations, aligning with the EU's growing emphasis on sustainable maritime and logistics infrastructure.
How they like to work
MACOMI consistently participates as a partner rather than leading consortia, suggesting they contribute specialized technical capabilities within larger teams. With 81 unique partners across 18 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia — typical of EU transport infrastructure projects. Their varied funding scheme experience (RIA, CSA, IA) indicates adaptability across research, coordination, and innovation actions.
Despite only 3 projects, MACOMI has built a broad network of 81 partners across 18 countries, reflecting participation in large-scale European transport consortia. Their reach spans much of the EU, with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Dutch home base.
What sets them apart
MACOMI sits at a niche intersection: applying digital simulation and data analytics specifically to multimodal transport hubs and port infrastructure. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination of BIM expertise with transport domain knowledge, particularly relevant for projects dealing with port digitalization or green logistics. Their SME status and Dutch location — close to Europe's largest port ecosystem — add practical credibility.
Highlights from their portfolio
- INTERMODEL EUTheir largest funded project (EUR 436K), applying BIM simulation to multimodal transport terminals — an unusual cross-domain application of construction technology to transport.
- PIONEERSTheir most recent and longest-running project (2021-2026), signaling a strategic pivot toward port sustainability and emissions reduction.
