GRETEL (2017–2022) — Clean Sky 2 project on green turboprop experimental laminar flow wind tunnel testing, where REDAM participated with EUR 234,711 in EC funding.
REDAM SRL
Italian SME specialising in laminar flow aerodynamics testing and SiC wide bandgap power electronics for aerospace and advanced power applications.
Their core work
REDAM SRL is an Italian technology SME based in Avellino that works at the intersection of aerospace engineering and advanced power electronics. In aviation, their documented contribution is to experimental laminar flow testing for green turboprop aircraft — a technically demanding niche supporting cleaner short-haul aviation. In parallel, they engaged as a third-party specialist in a European program developing Silicon Carbide (SiC) wide bandgap semiconductors for high-efficiency power conversion systems. The combination points to a company with strong measurement, simulation, or component-testing capabilities that can serve both aeronautical and electrical engineering environments.
What they specialise in
WInSiC4AP (2017–2021) — REDAM served as a third party in a project developing Silicon Carbide-based power electronics for advanced power applications.
GRETEL is a Joint Technology Initiative under Clean Sky 2, targeting reduced emissions through improved aerodynamic efficiency on next-generation turboprop aircraft.
Third-party involvement in WInSiC4AP suggests specialist input to power conversion or material characterisation in the SiC ecosystem, though the exact contribution is not specified in available data.
How they've shifted over time
REDAM's H2020 record covers only a single entry cohort — both projects began in 2017 — so a genuine temporal evolution is not visible from this data alone. The early project record carries no keywords, while the recent-period tagging introduces "wide bandgap material," suggesting that their SiC-related work became more explicitly defined over the life of the WInSiC4AP project. If a trend exists, it points toward power electronics and advanced materials as a growing secondary capability alongside their aeronautics roots.
REDAM appears to be broadening from aeronautical testing toward advanced power electronics materials, but the dataset is too thin to confirm this as a strategic shift rather than opportunistic project involvement.
How they like to work
REDAM has never led an H2020 project — both participations are as a partner or third party, indicating they consistently join consortia as a specialist contributor rather than a coordinator. Their involvement in Clean Sky 2 (GRETEL) placed them inside a large JTI consortium with 31 unique partners across 5 countries, suggesting comfort operating within complex, multi-stakeholder programs. Their third-party status in WInSiC4AP implies they can also contribute on a sub-contractual basis, making them a flexible entry point for consortia that need a focused technical input without a full partnership seat.
REDAM has built connections with 31 unique consortium partners spread across 5 countries through just two projects, reflecting the large consortium structure typical of Clean Sky 2 Joint Technology Initiatives. Their network is European in scope, concentrated in the aerospace and power electronics sectors.
What sets them apart
REDAM occupies an uncommon dual-domain niche for a small Italian SME: aerospace laminar flow experimentation and SiC-based power electronics — two fields that rarely appear together in a single organisation's portfolio. This cross-domain technical footprint could make them particularly valuable for projects where aviation electrification or hybrid propulsion systems require both aerodynamic and power conversion expertise. Based in Avellino (Campania), they also represent a less saturated southern Italian node in European R&D networks, which can be an asset for consortia seeking geographic diversity.
Highlights from their portfolio
- GRETELTheir only directly funded H2020 project, receiving EUR 234,711 within a Clean Sky 2 Joint Technology Initiative — one of EU aviation's flagship industrial research programmes — focused on laminar flow wind tunnel testing for green turboprop aircraft.
- WInSiC4APInvolvement as a third party in a Silicon Carbide wide bandgap power electronics project signals a specialist materials/power conversion capability that sits outside their primary aviation context.
