NTT DATA SPAIN, SL

Their core work

NTT DATA Spain (formerly Everis) is a large IT consulting and systems integration company that builds digital platforms for healthcare, security, and public services. In H2020 projects, they deliver software development, data platform engineering, and large-scale system deployment — acting as the technology implementer that turns research concepts into working prototypes and pilot systems. Their work spans clinical decision support tools, IoT-based security platforms, cybersecurity training systems, and data-driven platforms for sectors like maritime logistics and building energy management.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In 2014–2018, NTT DATA Spain focused heavily on digital health and social care — building platforms for chronic disease management, elderly care, gamification for behavior change, and co-creation tools for long-term care services. From 2019 onward, the center of gravity shifted decisively toward cybersecurity, IoT security, and law enforcement technology, while maintaining a presence in health through ADLIFE. The recent portfolio also branched into new domains like urban air mobility, seaport data platforms, and building energy data — suggesting a deliberate broadening beyond their original health-tech niche.

NTT DATA Spain is pivoting from health-focused platform development toward security, IoT, and cross-domain data platforms — expect future work at the intersection of cybersecurity and critical infrastructure.

How they like to work

NTT DATA Spain balances leadership and partnership roles: they coordinated 6 of 21 projects (29%), typically the ones closest to their core expertise, while joining as participant in 13 others across diverse domains. With 263 unique consortium partners across 31 countries, they operate as a well-connected hub rather than sticking to a fixed set of collaborators. Their strong preference for Innovation Actions (15 of 21 projects) signals they are most comfortable in deployment and demonstration phases rather than early-stage research.

With 263 unique consortium partners spread across 31 countries, NTT DATA Spain maintains one of the broader collaboration networks among Spanish private companies in H2020. Their reach is genuinely pan-European with no heavy concentration in any single country cluster.

What sets them apart

NTT DATA Spain brings the engineering muscle of a global IT consultancy (10,000+ employees in Spain alone) to EU research consortia — they are the team that actually builds and deploys the platform at scale, not just the one writing the paper. Their rare combination of deep health-tech experience AND growing security expertise makes them valuable for projects that sit at the intersection of sensitive personal data and digital services. Unlike smaller tech SMEs, they can absorb large work packages and deliver production-grade systems within project timelines.
