MY CHEMICAL MONITORING BV

Their core work

MY CHEMICAL MONITORING BV is a Rotterdam-based SME specialising in chemical safety and traceability across industrial supply chains. Their core work spans two complementary domains: building digital platforms to track chemicals through value chains (demonstrated by their ChemChain blockchain project) and contributing expert knowledge on chemical risk governance, regulatory compliance, and safe-by-design methodologies. In the Gov4Nano project they served as a third-party technical contributor, bringing practical monitoring and risk assessment expertise to a major EU nanotechnology governance initiative. As a private company operating at the intersection of chemistry, regulation, and digital traceability, they translate complex chemical safety requirements into operational tools and guidance for industry.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both H2020 projects began in 2019, so there is no meaningful chronological shift to analyse — the organisation's entire EU-funded track record falls within a single year. The keywords attached to their work all derive from Gov4Nano (risk governance, risk assessment, stakeholder engagement, safe by design) while ChemChain carries no indexed keywords, making a before/after comparison impossible with this data. What can be inferred is that in 2019 they were pursuing two parallel tracks simultaneously: advisory expertise in chemical risk governance for large research consortia, and an independent product-development effort in blockchain-based chemical tracking.

The combination of risk-governance expertise and a self-led blockchain traceability project suggests MY CHEMICAL MONITORING is positioning itself as a provider of digital compliance tools for the chemicals sector — a direction well-aligned with growing EU chemical transparency regulation (REACH, Green Deal).

How they like to work

They demonstrate two distinct working modes: leading small, focused projects under the SME Instrument (ChemChain, where they were sole coordinator) and joining large multi-partner RIA consortia as a specialist third party (Gov4Nano). Their 38 unique partners across 15 countries is entirely attributable to the Gov4Nano consortium, meaning their network breadth reflects association with a large programme rather than independently built partnerships. For potential collaborators, this suggests they can contribute a specific technical niche without needing to manage consortium logistics — but can also step up to lead when the project scope matches their product focus.

Their two projects connect them to 38 distinct organisations across 15 European countries, a footprint driven largely by the broad Gov4Nano consortium rather than repeated bilateral relationships. No strong geographic concentration is visible beyond their base in the Netherlands.

What sets them apart

MY CHEMICAL MONITORING occupies an unusual niche: a small Dutch private company that bridges chemical safety regulation and digital supply-chain technology. Few SMEs combine hands-on risk governance advisory work (as in Gov4Nano) with the development of blockchain-based traceability products (ChemChain) in the same sector. For a consortium needing a practitioner who understands both the regulatory demands on chemical data and the technical means to capture and communicate that data, this organisation offers a rare dual profile.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ChemChain
  Their only coordinator credit, and one of the few H2020 SME Instrument projects applying blockchain specifically to chemical value-chain transparency — a commercially oriented product development effort rather than pure research.
• Gov4Nano
  A major 2019–2023 RIA that attracted 38+ consortium members; their third-party role here placed them inside one of the most comprehensive EU-funded nanotechnology risk governance programmes of the period.
