EUROBENCH (their largest project at EUR 5.2M) focused on bipedal locomotion benchmarking frameworks, and INBOTS addressed inclusive robotics for society.
PKF ATTEST INNCOME SL
Spanish SME providing benchmarking, assessment, and governance frameworks for robotics, drone systems, and smart water technologies.
Their core work
INNCOME is a Madrid-based innovation consultancy and SME that specializes in evaluation, benchmarking, and standardization within emerging technology domains. Their H2020 portfolio shows them contributing to robotics testing frameworks, drone traffic management, and smart water systems — suggesting they provide assessment methodologies, performance benchmarking, and compliance/standardization expertise rather than building the core technologies themselves. They appear to act as the "how do we measure and certify this?" partner in technically diverse consortia.
What they specialise in
EUROBENCH keywords explicitly include testing facilities, standardization, assessment, and test benches — pointing to systematic evaluation as a core competence.
LABYRINTH project addressed 4D path planning for drone swarms and UAS transport management within the U-Space framework.
REWAISE project (running until 2026) focuses on resilient water innovation, energy recovery, and climate change adaptation for smart economies.
How they've shifted over time
INNCOME entered H2020 in 2018 focused squarely on robotics — specifically benchmarking wearable robots, exoskeletons, humanoids, and building standardized testing facilities (EUROBENCH, INBOTS). By 2020, they pivoted toward entirely different domains: drone traffic management (LABYRINTH) and climate-resilient water systems (REWAISE). This shift suggests their core value is transferable methodology — assessment, benchmarking, and governance frameworks — rather than deep domain expertise in any single technology.
INNCOME is broadening from robotics into environmental and transport applications, indicating they are positioning their assessment and governance expertise as a cross-sector service applicable to any emerging technology domain.
How they like to work
INNCOME has participated exclusively as a partner — never as coordinator — across all four projects, which is typical for an SME contributing specialized services within larger consortia. With 73 unique partners across 17 countries from just 4 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia (averaging ~18 partners per project). This pattern suggests they are easy to integrate into big multi-partner frameworks and comfortable working alongside many organizations without needing to lead.
Despite only four projects, INNCOME has built a wide network of 73 partners spanning 17 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes of their projects. Their reach is firmly pan-European with no visible geographic concentration beyond their Spanish base.
What sets them apart
INNCOME's distinguishing trait is their ability to apply assessment, benchmarking, and governance methodologies across wildly different technology domains — from humanoid robotics to drone traffic to water systems. This cross-domain versatility makes them valuable for any consortium that needs structured evaluation frameworks or standardization expertise but doesn't want to hire a domain-locked partner. For coordinators building proposals that require benchmarking work packages, INNCOME offers a proven track record of fitting into large consortia and delivering assessment-related outputs.
Highlights from their portfolio
- EUROBENCHBy far their largest project (EUR 5.2M total EC funding), building a European-wide benchmarking framework for bipedal robots — a foundational infrastructure effort.
- REWAISETheir longest-running project (until 2026) and a strategic pivot into climate and water resilience, signaling a durable move beyond robotics.
- LABYRINTHAddresses the rapidly growing U-Space drone traffic management domain, combining 4D path planning with safety — a high-demand regulatory area.
