ZIMASS (2019) was coordinated by Secmotic under the SME Instrument, developing a smart mobile system for detecting and alerting against work zone invasions.
SECMOTIC INNOVATION SOCIEDAD LIMITADA
Spanish tech SME building mobile safety systems and rural digital service platforms across European H2020 consortia.
Their core work
Secmotic Innovation is a Spanish tech SME based in Sevilla that builds mobile-first software platforms and smart connected systems. Their documented work includes a mobile safety alert system for road work zone intrusion detection (ZIMASS) and participation in a European digital service marketplace for rural areas (dRural), where they contributed IT services, platform development, and AI integration. They operate at the intersection of mobile technology, platform interoperability, and applied AI, targeting both safety-critical and rural digitalization use cases. As an SME that has both led and joined EU consortia, they function as a nimble technology builder capable of delivering software components within larger collaborative projects.
What they specialise in
In dRural (2021–2024), Secmotic contributed to building a European marketplace for rural IT services, focusing on platform architecture and interoperability.
Interoperability is listed as a top keyword from the dRural project, suggesting a technical role in connecting disparate rural service systems.
AI appears as a keyword in dRural (2021–2024), indicating early-stage capability building in AI-enhanced service delivery.
How they've shifted over time
Secmotic's two-project trajectory shows a clear pivot from niche mobile safety hardware-adjacent software (ZIMASS, a standalone SME Instrument feasibility study on work zone intrusion detection) toward broader digital platform work for rural communities. The recent dRural project introduces a richer and more diverse keyword profile — rural services, platform, interoperability, AI — none of which appeared in their earlier work. This suggests the company is broadening its positioning from a single-problem mobile app developer into a platform and digital services contributor with growing AI interest.
Secmotic appears to be transitioning from niche mobile safety products toward digital platform development for underserved (rural) markets, with AI integration as an emerging capability — making them a candidate partner for future rural digitalization or smart services projects.
How they like to work
Secmotic has taken both the coordinator role (ZIMASS, SME Instrument Phase 1 — a solo-feasibility format) and a participant role in a large multi-partner Innovation Action (dRural). Their participation in dRural placed them inside a consortium of 36 partners across 10 countries, showing they can integrate into complex European consortia without being the lead. As a small SME, they likely fill a focused technical execution role rather than managing large project workstreams.
Across two projects, Secmotic has worked with 36 unique consortium partners spanning 10 countries, an unusually wide network for a two-project SME. This breadth is driven primarily by the large dRural consortium, giving them European-level exposure despite limited project history.
What sets them apart
Secmotic is one of the few Spanish tech SMEs with demonstrated experience in both mobile safety systems and rural digital platform development — two distinct application domains that share an underlying capability in mobile software and connectivity. Their Sevilla base and SME profile make them a natural fit for Horizon Europe calls targeting Southern European digital transformation or rural inclusion, where both proximity to rural realities and software execution capacity matter. For consortium builders, they offer a lean, agile software contributor with an existing European network from dRural.
Highlights from their portfolio
