PROSPEH DOO

Their core work

PROSPEH is a Slovenian SME specializing in digital solutions for the agri-food sector, with a focus on data platforms, IoT integration, and food safety systems. They build and deploy tools that help farmers, food producers, and certification bodies work with data more effectively — from smart farming applications to food safety marketplaces. Their largest contribution has been in developing SME-powered data platforms for the European food industry, particularly around food certification and data exchange.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

PROSPEH entered H2020 through ecosystem-level work — Digital Innovation Hubs, smart specialization strategies, and connecting agricultural innovation networks (SmartAgriHubs, 2018). Their focus then shifted toward technical implementation: IoT sensors, data interoperability, and precision agriculture (DEMETER, 2019), before concentrating on a concrete market application — a food safety data marketplace (TheFSM, 2020). This trajectory shows a clear move from broad digital agriculture ecosystems toward specific, product-oriented data platforms for the food industry.

PROSPEH is moving from general agri-tech facilitation toward building concrete data marketplace products for the food safety industry — expect continued focus on food data services and certification technology.

How they like to work

PROSPEH operates exclusively as a participant in large-scale Innovation Action consortia, never as a coordinator. With 181 unique partners across 29 countries from just 3 projects, they work in very large consortia (60+ partners per project on average). This suggests they are comfortable contributing specialized components within major European flagship initiatives rather than leading smaller, focused teams.

Despite being a small SME, PROSPEH has built an extensive network of 181 unique partners across 29 countries through participation in three large-scale European flagship projects. Their network spans nearly all of Europe, reflecting the broad consortium membership of major agri-food digitalization initiatives.

What sets them apart

PROSPEH sits at the intersection of data technology and food safety — a niche where few SMEs operate with direct EU project experience. Their progression from ecosystem-level work to concrete data marketplace development means they understand both the policy landscape and the technical implementation. For consortium builders, they offer a Slovenian SME perspective with hands-on experience in three of the largest European agri-food digitalization projects (SmartAgriHubs, DEMETER, TheFSM).

Highlights from their portfolio

• TheFSM
  Their largest project by funding (EUR 385,000) — an SME-powered industrial data platform specifically targeting the European food safety market.
• DEMETER
  One of Europe's flagship agri-food IoT projects, building interoperable data-driven systems across 20+ deployment sites with strong industry participation.
• SmartAgriHubs
  Major pan-European initiative connecting Digital Innovation Hubs for agricultural digital transformation, involving 160+ partners across the continent.
