SIMBIOTICA SL

Their core work

Simbiotica is a Madrid-based technology SME that builds data platforms turning environmental and climate data into actionable intelligence. Their core work spans two domains: making food supply chains more sustainable through environmental data analytics (LAND GRIFFON), and providing coastal climate risk services including flood, erosion, and sea-level rise assessments (CoCliCo). They also have roots in air quality monitoring using Earth Observation satellite data (AirQast). In essence, they translate complex environmental datasets — from satellites, climate models, and supply chain records — into commercial platforms that businesses and public bodies can act on.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Simbiotica's early H2020 work (2017–2018) centered on Earth Observation and general climate data intelligence — AirQast dealt with air quality from satellite data, while ARCADIA explored a climate data platform at SME Instrument Phase 1 stage. From 2020 onward, the company sharpened its focus into two concrete verticals: food supply chain sustainability (LAND GRIFFON, their largest funded project) and coastal climate risk services (CoCliCo). The trajectory shows a clear shift from broad environmental monitoring toward applied, sector-specific sustainability platforms with direct commercial value.

Simbiotica is moving from generic environmental data processing toward targeted commercial platforms in food sustainability and climate adaptation — expect continued growth in these two verticals.

How they like to work

Simbiotica balances leadership and partnership roles evenly — coordinating 2 projects and participating in 2 others. Their coordinated projects tend to be smaller or SME-instrument initiatives where they drive the technology development, while their participant roles place them in larger consortia (26 unique partners across 10 countries). This pattern suggests a company comfortable both leading focused product development and contributing specialized data platform capabilities to bigger collaborative efforts.

Simbiotica has built a moderately broad European network of 26 unique consortium partners across 10 countries from just 4 projects, indicating participation in sizeable multi-national consortia rather than small bilateral collaborations.

What sets them apart

Simbiotica occupies a distinctive niche as a technology SME that bridges environmental science and commercial data products. Unlike research institutes that produce knowledge or large IT firms that build generic platforms, they specifically translate climate and environmental datasets into sector-ready intelligence tools — for food companies tracking supply chain impacts, or coastal planners assessing flood risk. Their dual capability in both food sustainability and climate adaptation makes them an unusually versatile partner for cross-domain Green Deal projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LAND GRIFFON
  Their largest project (EUR 903K) and a coordinator role — a clear signal this is their flagship product direction in food supply chain sustainability.
• CoCliCo
  A substantial participation (EUR 304K) in a multi-year coastal climate services project running until 2025, showing their relevance in climate adaptation beyond food.
• ARCADIA
  An SME Instrument Phase 1 project that likely validated their early climate data platform concept before scaling into LAND GRIFFON.
