Both H2020 projects (BEATIK Phase 1 and Phase 2) are centered on building and scaling a collaborative digital scores platform for classical music.
REVINCLASSIC SOCIEDAD LIMITADA
Spanish music tech SME behind BEATIK, a collaborative digital sheet music platform for classical musicians and ensembles.
Their core work
REVINCLASSIC is a Spanish music technology SME that developed BEATIK, a collaborative digital sheet music platform designed to make classical music scores accessible and interactive for musicians, ensembles, and educators. Their core product digitizes classical music scores and enables real-time collaboration between performers — replacing paper scores with a shared digital workspace. The company successfully moved through the full EU SME Instrument pipeline, from a Phase 1 feasibility study to a Phase 2 market deployment grant, indicating they built a validated commercial product. Their work sits at the intersection of music culture, digital platforms, and software-as-a-service for the performing arts sector.
What they specialise in
The BEATIK platform explicitly targets classical music repertoire, suggesting deep domain expertise in music notation, classical score formats, and performer workflows.
The Phase 2 BEATIK project (EUR 746,492, 2018-2020) describes a collaborative platform, implying multi-user, real-time software architecture typical of modern SaaS products.
REVINCLASSIC successfully completed both SME Instrument phases — Phase 1 (feasibility) and Phase 2 (scale-up) — which is a competitive, two-stage validation process few SMEs fully complete.
How they've shifted over time
REVINCLASSIC's H2020 participation spans only 2017–2020 and covers a single product across two funding phases, so there is no meaningful shift in thematic focus — both projects are BEATIK. The progression is commercial rather than topical: Phase 1 (2017) validated the concept with a small feasibility grant, while Phase 2 (2018–2020) funded full product development and market entry with nearly 15× more funding. This is a startup trajectory, not a research trajectory — they were scaling a product, not evolving a research agenda.
Their trajectory points toward a commercial music technology product company that used EU funding as a launchpad — future collaboration opportunities would likely be in creative industries digitization, cultural heritage tech, or performing arts software, not traditional research consortia.
How they like to work
REVINCLASSIC operated exclusively as a solo coordinator through the SME Instrument, which by design does not require consortium partners. They have zero recorded consortium partners across both projects, meaning there is no evidence of collaborative working relationships built through H2020. For potential partners, this means REVINCLASSIC is an entrepreneurial product company rather than a consortium-experienced research partner — they are likely more comfortable leading bilateral agreements than managing multi-partner EU projects.
REVINCLASSIC has no consortium partners recorded across their two H2020 projects, which is structurally expected for SME Instrument grants that fund individual companies directly. Their network footprint within EU research structures is effectively zero — any professional network they hold is commercial (customers, music industry contacts) rather than research-consortium-based.
What sets them apart
REVINCLASSIC is one of very few EU-funded SMEs focused specifically on classical music as a technology market — a niche that most digital music platforms ignore in favor of pop, streaming, or music production. Their successful progression through both phases of the SME Instrument demonstrates that their concept passed independent expert review twice, which is a credibility signal. For anyone building projects around cultural heritage digitization, performing arts technology, or music education platforms, they offer validated product experience in a genuinely underserved niche.
Highlights from their portfolio
- BEATIKThe Phase 2 grant (EUR 746,492, 2018–2020) is notable as the largest single award, representing a full market-entry investment in a collaborative digital scores platform — an unusually focused cultural-tech product for H2020 SME funding.
- BEATIKThe Phase 1 feasibility grant (2017) is notable because it represents the entry point of a successful two-phase SME Instrument journey, which fewer than 10% of Phase 1 applicants complete through to Phase 2 funding.
