STAM SRL

Their core work

STAM is a Genova-based engineering SME specializing in simulation, digital tools, and systems integration for manufacturing and the built environment. They develop and apply computational models, digital twins, and process optimization solutions across sectors including construction, energy-efficient buildings, robotics, and industrial production. Their core value lies in bridging the gap between research concepts and industrial deployment — translating simulation tools, IoT platforms, and AI-driven analytics into working systems for factories, buildings, and critical infrastructure. With 27 of their 43 H2020 projects being Innovation Actions, they are firmly oriented toward technology demonstration and market-ready solutions rather than pure research.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

From 2015 to 2018, STAM focused heavily on building energy performance — envelope retrofitting, BIM-based design tools, energy simulation, and construction material innovation including nanocomposites and prefabricated modules. Starting around 2019, their portfolio shifted decisively toward digitization of manufacturing: robotics, AI-driven production, digital twins, IoT monitoring, and cybersecurity for industrial and transport systems. This evolution shows a company that built its simulation and systems-integration capabilities in the construction/energy domain and then transferred those skills to the broader Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing space.

STAM is moving toward AI, robotics, and cybersecurity for industrial systems — expect them to pursue projects combining digital twins with autonomous manufacturing and secure-by-design production environments.

How they like to work

STAM is overwhelmingly a consortium partner (41 of 43 projects), contributing specialized simulation and integration capabilities rather than leading projects. With 756 unique partners across 33 countries, they operate as a highly connected node in the European R&I network — a go-to technical partner that different consortia repeatedly pull in for their engineering and digital tool expertise. Their breadth of partnerships suggests they are easy to work with and adaptable to different consortium structures and sector contexts.

An exceptionally well-connected SME with 756 unique consortium partners spanning 33 countries, placing them among the most networked engineering SMEs in H2020. Their partnerships are spread broadly across Western and Southern Europe with no narrow geographic dependency.

What sets them apart

STAM occupies a rare position as a private SME that can work credibly across energy, manufacturing, security, and digital sectors — most SMEs are locked into one domain. Their strength is applying simulation, digital twins, and systems-integration thinking to whatever industrial challenge a consortium faces, making them a versatile technical partner. For consortium builders, STAM offers an Italian SME that satisfies both the SME participation requirement and genuine engineering depth, backed by a proven track record across 43 projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SOFTMANBOT
  Their largest single grant (EUR 826K) and a flagship project combining AI vision, robotic perception, and smart grippers for handling deformable objects in manufacturing.
• ADR1EN
  One of only two projects where STAM served as coordinator — notably in space debris removal with nets, revealing an unexpected aerospace engineering capability.
• AGRICORE
  A surprising cross-sector move into agricultural policy modeling using agent-based simulation, demonstrating how STAM transfers its computational modeling skills into entirely new domains.
