Corporate IT engineering firm specialising in digital solutions for smart energy communities, building renovation, and decentralised renewable energy systems.
NTT DATA Europe & Latam Green Engineering is the sustainability-focused engineering arm of the global NTT DATA IT services group, operating out of Madrid. In H2020, they contributed digital and systems-integration expertise to large-scale energy projects — first in building renovation, then in renewable energy community design. Their real-world value lies in bridging IT capabilities (distributed systems, smart contracts, data interoperability) with the practical requirements of energy transition at urban and community scale. They are not a research lab — they bring implementation know-how to consortia that need to make things work in the real world.
RENAISSANCE (2019-2022) placed them in a project explicitly focused on renewable integration and sustainability in energy communities, where their keywords include smart contracts, decentralisation, and interoperability.
DREEAM (2015-2019) was an Innovation Action demonstrating integrated renovation approaches for energy efficiency across multiple buildings simultaneously.
RENAISSANCE keywords include smart contracts alongside decentralisation and interoperability, signalling applied blockchain work within an energy community context.
RENAISSANCE keywords explicitly include replicable, interoperable, and global — language consistent with designing solutions meant to be deployed across multiple cities or regions.
Their first project, DREEAM (2015-2019), centred on the physical and technical challenge of renovating multiple buildings together to achieve energy efficiency — a relatively traditional infrastructure-and-process domain. By RENAISSANCE (2019-2022), the focus had moved decisively toward digital architecture: smart energy communities, decentralised governance via smart contracts, and systems designed to be interoperable and globally replicable. The shift tracks a broader industry move from building-level retrofits toward community-level energy ecosystems managed through digital platforms.
They are moving from physical energy efficiency implementation toward digital governance of distributed energy systems — suggesting future work will likely involve energy data platforms, peer-to-peer trading, or smart grid integration.
NTT DATA Green Engineering has participated in both projects as a consortium partner, never as coordinator — a pattern consistent with a large corporate entity that contributes specific technical or digital capabilities rather than leading research agendas. With 32 unique partners across 9 countries in just two projects, they operate in sizeable, multi-national consortia. This suggests they are comfortable in complex, multi-partner arrangements and bring enough organisational capacity to function reliably inside them.
They have built connections with 32 distinct consortium partners across 9 countries in only two projects — an unusually broad network for such a limited project count, reflecting large Innovation Action consortia. No repeated-partner pattern is visible from available data, suggesting diverse rather than loyal network ties.
As the green engineering division of a global IT services multinational, NTT DATA Green Engineering occupies a rare position: corporate-grade delivery capacity combined with genuine energy sector focus, in a landscape otherwise dominated by universities and specialist SMEs. For a consortium that needs a partner who can handle systems integration, digital platform development, or scalability planning without requiring heavy hand-holding, they are a credible choice. Their participation in Innovation Actions — not just research projects — signals a practical, deployment-oriented mindset.
