RESILIENCE GUARD GMBH

Their core work

Resilience Guard is a Swiss technology SME that develops AI-powered monitoring and decision support systems for assessing climate risks and structural resilience. Their core work applies computer vision, machine learning, and remote sensing to protect built environments — from cultural heritage sites to urban infrastructure and road networks. They build platforms that combine sensor data, climate modeling, and simulation tools to help cities and asset managers understand and respond to environmental threats.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Resilience Guard entered H2020 in 2019 focused on climate resilience for cultural heritage — building simulation tools, downscaled climate maps, and decision support systems for historic sites (HYPERION, YADES). From 2020-2021, their focus broadened significantly toward urban resilience and health, applying their AI and monitoring capabilities to nature-based solutions, blue-green infrastructure, and citizen engagement platforms (EuPOLIS, HEART, HARMONIA). Their most recent projects also show diversification into transport infrastructure (HERON) and deeper integration with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework.

Moving from niche cultural heritage protection toward broader urban resilience and infrastructure monitoring, positioning themselves as a versatile AI/ML provider for any domain requiring climate-aware decision support.

How they like to work

Resilience Guard operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never leading projects, which is typical for a specialist SME contributing specific technical capabilities to larger teams. With 102 unique partners across 26 countries in just 7 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia and appear comfortable integrating into complex multi-partner environments. Their consistent role suggests they are brought in specifically for their AI monitoring and computer vision expertise rather than for project management.

Exceptionally broad network for an SME of this size — 102 unique partners across 26 countries from just 7 projects, averaging ~15 partners per consortium. Their reach spans most of Europe with no obvious geographic concentration, suggesting they are well-connected and trusted across diverse research communities.

What sets them apart

Resilience Guard occupies a rare niche as a Swiss SME that bridges AI/computer vision technology with climate resilience applications across multiple domains — heritage, urban, transport, and security. Their ability to adapt the same core technology stack (ML, computer vision, remote sensing, decision support) to very different application areas makes them unusually versatile as a consortium partner. For coordinators building proposals, they offer a proven track record of delivering AI-based monitoring components without the overhead of a large research institution.

Highlights from their portfolio

• EuPOLIS
  Largest funding (EUR 429,625) and most ambitious scope — integrating serious games, augmented reality, and citizen observatories for urban health planning.
• HARMONIA
  Directly linked to the Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework, applying deep learning on top of GEOSS — positions the company at the intersection of AI and global climate policy.
• HERON
  Represents a strategic pivot into robotic road maintenance, combining their CV/ML expertise with physical infrastructure in the transport sector.
