SITEX 45 SRL

Their core work

SITEX 45 is a Romanian technology SME specializing in sensor systems, analytical measurement, and diagnostic tool development. Their work spans volatile compound detection for disease diagnosis (tropical diseases, bovine tuberculosis) and advanced material characterization for nanosafety and smart actuators. They contribute applied sensing and measurement expertise to international research consortia, bridging the gap between laboratory science and practical diagnostic or monitoring applications.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

SITEX 45's early H2020 work (2015-2016) centered on nanosafety assessment tools and breath-based tropical disease diagnostics — both focused on biological measurement and risk characterization. From 2018 onward, they shifted toward more specialized volatolomics (bovine TB detection via electronic nose) and branched into an entirely new domain: piezo-phototonic smart materials and energy harvesting. This diversification suggests the company is expanding its sensor and materials expertise beyond biomedical diagnostics into functional materials and actuator systems.

Moving from purely biomedical sensing toward functional smart materials, suggesting future work may combine sensing with actuation and energy harvesting capabilities.

How they like to work

SITEX 45 operates exclusively as a participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 35 unique partners across 18 countries from just 4 projects, they plug into large, geographically diverse MSCA-RISE consortia (3 of 4 projects). This pattern indicates a flexible specialist that contributes specific technical capabilities to established international networks rather than building and leading its own consortia.

Despite being a small company with only 4 projects, SITEX 45 has built connections with 35 unique partners across 18 countries — a remarkably wide network driven by participation in large MSCA-RISE staff exchange programs that emphasize international mobility and knowledge transfer.

What sets them apart

SITEX 45 is unusual among Romanian SMEs for its breadth: few private companies combine volatile diagnostics, nanosafety characterization, and smart material development under one roof. Their repeated selection for MSCA-RISE projects signals that they offer practical infrastructure and expertise valued by academic partners needing an industry host for researcher exchanges. For consortium builders, they provide an accessible Romanian industry partner with genuine technical depth across sensing and materials.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PULSE-COM
  Their largest project (EUR 237,500) and a strategic pivot — moving from biomedical sensing into piezo-phototonic materials and energy harvesting, signaling a new direction for the company.
• TROPSENSE
  Their earliest and second-largest project (EUR 202,500), focused on non-invasive breath testing for tropical diseases — a strong example of their core diagnostic sensor expertise.
