NOVITECH AS

Their core work

Novitech is a Slovak technology SME specializing in Building Information Modelling (BIM), digital twins, and construction digitalization software. They develop tools for automating building data capture (scan-to-BIM), construction workflow management, and interoperability between construction software platforms. Their work focuses on making energy-efficient building renovation and construction quality control more data-driven through digital twin technology. They also have earlier experience supporting SME growth and internationalization in the creative/ICT sector.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Novitech started in H2020 with a very different focus — supporting creative industry SMEs through innovation multiplier networks and internationalization (ACE Creative, 2015-2016). From 2019 onward, they pivoted sharply toward construction technology, specifically BIM, digital twins, and building renovation digitalization. This shift from general ICT/SME support to deep construction-tech specialization suggests the company found its niche and invested heavily in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) domain expertise.

Novitech is moving deeper into construction digitalization — expect them to pursue projects around smart buildings, construction automation, and renovation planning tools.

How they like to work

Novitech operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a technology SME contributing specialized software components to larger consortia. With 40 unique partners across 14 countries from just 3 projects, they join medium-to-large research consortia and are comfortable working with diverse international teams. Their participant-only role suggests they provide focused technical contributions rather than managing project logistics.

Despite only 3 projects, Novitech has built a broad network of 40 partners across 14 countries, reflecting participation in sizable European consortia. Their network is pan-European with no apparent geographic clustering.

What sets them apart

Novitech brings a relatively rare combination for a Slovak SME: deep BIM and digital twin expertise applied specifically to energy-efficient renovation and construction quality control. Their interoperability focus — making different construction software systems work together — is a persistent gap in the AEC industry that few small companies address. For consortium builders, they offer hands-on software development capacity in construction digitalization from a cost-competitive Central European location.

Highlights from their portfolio

• COGITO
  Their largest project (EUR 277,500) tackling construction-phase digital twins with smart contracts and lean construction — a forward-looking topic combining BIM with process automation.
• BIMERR
  Addressed the practical challenge of automated scan-to-BIM for existing buildings, directly relevant to Europe's massive building renovation wave.
