SOFTWARE COMPANY EOOD

Their core work

Software Company develops software platforms and data management tools for the European energy sector, with a strong secondary line in cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. Their work focuses on building systems that enable cross-border electricity trading, grid monitoring, congestion management, and real-time situational awareness. They also contribute software components to 5G-enabled smart grid applications and mission-critical tools for emergency response coordination.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Software Company entered H2020 in 2017 focused on energy market software — building tools for market coupling, wholesale market data management, and grid services integration. From 2019 onward, their work shifted toward more operationally complex challenges: cross-border power flow control, RES forecasting, cybersecurity monitoring, and eventually 5G-based smart grid platforms. The progression shows a company moving from market-layer software toward infrastructure-layer and telecom-integrated energy solutions.

Moving toward telecom-energy convergence and real-time grid intelligence, making them a relevant partner for projects combining 5G, IoT, and energy system digitalization.

How they like to work

Software Company operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated a project, which is typical of specialized SMEs that contribute technical components rather than driving project management. With 157 unique partners across 27 countries from just 6 projects, they work in large, pan-European consortia (averaging 26+ partners per project). This suggests they are valued as a reliable technical contributor that integrates well into large multi-partner setups.

Remarkably broad network for a small company: 157 unique partners across 27 countries from just 6 projects, indicating participation in major pan-European energy and security consortia. No visible geographic clustering — their partnerships span the full EU.

What sets them apart

Software Company occupies a rare niche as a Bulgarian SME with deep experience in both energy grid software and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure — two domains that increasingly overlap. Their combination of energy market platform expertise, SIEM/anomaly detection capabilities, and emerging 5G smart grid work makes them unusually versatile for projects at the intersection of energy digitalization and infrastructure security. For consortium builders, they offer a cost-effective Eastern European software partner with proven delivery across multiple large-scale Innovation Actions.

Highlights from their portfolio

• EnergyShield
  Their highest-funded project (EUR 437K) and their only RIA, focused on an integrated cybersecurity solution for energy infrastructure — combining vulnerability assessment, anomaly detection, and DDoS mitigation.
• INTERRFACE
  Addressed TSO-DSO-consumer interface architecture for pan-European grid services — a flagship project for energy market integration software with broad keyword coverage.
• SMART5GRID
  Their most recent project (2021), marking a strategic move into 5G-enabled energy applications with MEC and network softwarisation — signals their future direction.
