NEOGRID TECHNOLOGIES APS

Their core work

Neogrid Technologies is a Danish SME specializing in smart energy management systems for buildings and local communities. They develop IoT-based demand response controls, building energy management platforms, and integration solutions that connect electricity, heat, and transport sectors. Their core work sits at the intersection of smart grid technology and building automation — turning buildings from passive energy consumers into active, flexible participants in the energy system.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Neogrid started with industrial IoT and cyber-physical maintenance systems (MANTIS, 2015), then pivoted sharply toward smart energy in buildings from 2020 onward. Their early work centered on IoT infrastructure, smart grid basics, and demand-side management at the building level (domOS). By 2021, their focus expanded outward — from individual smart buildings to community-scale energy systems, multi-energy integration (heat, electricity, transport), and carbon neutrality targets (SERENE, SUSTENANCE).

Neogrid is scaling up from building-level energy management to neighborhood and community-scale integrated energy systems, with growing emphasis on carbon neutrality and sector coupling.

How they like to work

Neogrid operates exclusively as a project participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, which is typical for a specialist SME contributing specific technology components to larger consortia. With 93 unique partners across 18 countries from just 5 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia (averaging ~19 partners per project). This suggests they are comfortable operating in complex multi-partner environments and are valued for a specific technical contribution rather than project leadership.

Neogrid has built a remarkably wide network for a small company — 93 unique partners across 18 countries from only 5 projects. Their reach spans most of Europe, reflecting their participation in large Innovation Action consortia rather than tight bilateral collaborations.

What sets them apart

Neogrid occupies a specific niche: they are a Danish SME that bridges IoT/software platforms with practical energy flexibility in buildings and communities. While many smart energy companies focus on either the hardware side (heat pumps, batteries) or the analytics side, Neogrid works on the operating system layer — the middleware that connects physical building systems to grid signals and energy markets. Their progression from single-building to community-scale solutions makes them a practical partner for anyone working on local energy transitions in Europe.

Highlights from their portfolio

• domOS
  Their largest project by funding (EUR 625K) and most central to their identity — developing an operating system for smart energy services in buildings.
• SERENE
  Represents their strategic expansion into community-scale integrated energy systems, covering heat pumps, EV sharing, and multi-sector integration.
• SUSTENANCE
  Focuses on carbon neutral energy communities with demand response control systems — their most recent and forward-looking energy work.
