Both REG GAM 2018 and GAM-2020-REG target regional aircraft development, with SICAMB contributing across two successive phases of the Clean Sky 2 program.
SICAMB SPA
Italian aviation manufacturer delivering cabin comfort, noise reduction, and environmental performance for regional aircraft in Clean Sky 2 programs.
Their core work
SICAMB SPA is an Italian industrial company based in Latina specializing in aircraft cabin components and interior systems, with a sustained track record in the European aviation sector. Their H2020 participation places them firmly within the Clean Sky 2 Green Regional Aircraft program — EU aviation's flagship initiative to develop cleaner, quieter regional jets. Their technical contributions focus on improving the passenger experience on short and medium haul routes, specifically addressing inflight comfort, cabin noise and vibration, and service reliability. They operate as a specialist industrial supplier within large collaborative aviation programs, delivering hardware or systems that meet both passenger-facing and environmental performance targets.
What they specialise in
GAM-2020-REG explicitly lists inflight comfort and service reliability as project keywords, indicating direct work on the passenger experience dimension of regional aviation.
Noise and vibration reduction is named as a distinct keyword in GAM-2020-REG, suggesting SICAMB's components address acoustic and structural comfort performance.
GAM-2020-REG keywords include environmental benefits and socio-economic benefits, reflecting the Clean Sky 2 mandate to reduce aviation's carbon and noise footprint.
How they've shifted over time
SICAMB's early H2020 engagement (REG GAM 2018, 2014–2019) focused broadly on regional aircraft development with no recorded keyword specificity, suggesting a general industrial participation in the first Clean Sky 2 phase. By the second project (GAM-2020-REG, 2020–2024), a much sharper profile emerges: comfort, noise, service reliability, and sustainability metrics appear explicitly, indicating either a more defined technical remit or a maturing of the program's deliverables. The trend points toward a company deepening its contribution to passenger-facing and environmental performance rather than expanding into new domains.
SICAMB is consolidating around the comfort and sustainability dimensions of regional aviation, making them an increasingly relevant partner for any consortium targeting next-generation short-haul aircraft that must meet both passenger and environmental standards.
How they like to work
SICAMB participates exclusively as a consortium member — they have never held a coordinator role across their H2020 history. They operate within very large industrial consortia, as evidenced by 40 unique partners across 9 countries from just two projects, which is characteristic of the Clean Sky 2 program structure. This pattern suggests they function as a reliable specialist supplier within pre-defined program hierarchies rather than as a project initiator or strategic lead.
SICAMB has built connections with 40 unique consortium partners across 9 countries, an unusually broad network for an organization with only two projects. This breadth reflects their participation in the Clean Sky 2 mega-consortium structure, which routinely brings together dozens of European aerospace companies, research institutes, and universities.
What sets them apart
SICAMB is one of a small number of Italian industrial companies with continuous participation across both the 2014–2019 and 2020–2024 phases of the Clean Sky 2 Green Regional Aircraft program — a sign of recognized technical credibility within the European aviation supply chain. Their location in Latina (Lazio) and non-SME status suggest an established manufacturing capability rather than a startup or research spin-out. For consortium builders, they bring industrial production experience in aviation cabin systems combined with proven ability to meet Clean Sky 2's stringent noise, comfort, and environmental benchmarks.
Highlights from their portfolio
- REG GAM 2018SICAMB's entry into EU-funded aviation R&D, running 2014–2019 under Clean Sky 2 and receiving EUR 445,017 in EC funding — their only recorded grant and the foundation of their European program presence.
- GAM-2020-REGThe follow-on engagement (2020–2024) under the second Clean Sky 2 phase, demonstrating sustained industrial partnership and an expanded technical scope covering passenger comfort, noise reduction, and environmental metrics.
