RDC INFORMATICS S.A.

Their core work

RDC Informatics is a Greek IT services SME that provides digital tools — simulation, predictive modelling, data management, and process monitoring platforms — to industrial research consortia. Rather than developing the physical materials or processes themselves, they supply the informatics layer: software for characterization, process control, and standardization across manufacturing and bio-based sectors. Their project portfolio spans lightweight metals, microalgae-based food ingredients, and bio-nanomaterials, which signals a horizontal IT capability applied to diverse industrial domains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

RDC Informatics entered H2020 in 2019 supporting traditional manufacturing digitization — simulation, process control, and characterization for lightweight metal alloy production (LightMe). By 2021, their focus shifted toward bio-based materials and sustainability, contributing predictive modelling and standardization tools to the BIOMAC nanomaterials community. This trajectory shows a clear move from heavy-industry digital tools toward green materials informatics and open data platforms.

RDC Informatics is pivoting from traditional manufacturing IT toward sustainability-driven informatics — expect them to pursue digital twin, FAIR data, and green materials modelling projects next.

How they like to work

RDC Informatics operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating, which is typical for an IT services SME contributing a specialized digital component to larger consortia. With 90 unique partners across just 3 projects, they work in large Innovation Action consortia (averaging 30 partners per project). This breadth of connections suggests they are comfortable integrating into complex, multi-partner environments and adapting their tools to different domain requirements.

Despite only 3 projects, RDC Informatics has built connections with 90 unique partners across 23 countries, reflecting participation in large pan-European Innovation Actions. Their network is notably wide for their size, spanning Western and Eastern Europe with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Greek base.

What sets them apart

RDC Informatics brings IT and data infrastructure to industrial R&D projects that need digital backbone but lack in-house informatics capacity. Their value lies in being domain-flexible: the same team that built simulation tools for metal alloy casting also delivers predictive modelling for bio-nanomaterials. For consortium builders, they fill the essential but often hard-to-source "digital partner" slot — a Greek SME with competitive rates and proven ability to integrate into large, multi-sector consortia.

Highlights from their portfolio

• BIOMAC
  Largest funding (EUR 400,575) and most recent project, focused on building a European community platform for bio-based nanomaterials with open collaboration and standardization.
• LightMe
  Open innovation ecosystem for lightweight metals production — demonstrates RDC's ability to provide simulation and process control tools in heavy manufacturing.
• ProFuture
  Shows cross-sector versatility: an informatics company contributing to a microalgae food/feed project, proving domain-agnostic digital capabilities.
