Swedish engineering software SME providing structural analysis tools for energy renovation and sustainable timber construction projects.
STRUSOFT AB is a Swedish technology SME based in Malmö that develops structural engineering software for the built environment — tools used by engineers and designers to analyse, plan, and optimise building systems. In EU research projects, they contribute as a specialist digital technology provider, embedding their computational platforms into large demonstration initiatives. Their participation spans energy-efficient building renovation (DREEAM) and sustainable timber construction (BASAJAUN), suggesting their software is applied wherever buildings meet sustainability performance requirements. They are not a research lab — they are a product company bringing validated engineering software to consortia that need credible computational backbone.
STRUSOFT contributes digital tools across both DREEAM (energy renovation) and BASAJAUN (timber construction), indicating software for building performance analysis is their core offering.
DREEAM (2015–2019) focused on integrated renovation for energy efficiency at multi-building scale, where STRUSOFT provided engineering analysis support.
BASAJAUN (2019–2024) centres on wood construction, upscaling construction materials, and demobuildings — areas requiring structural software for timber engineering.
BASAJAUN keywords include circular economy, environmental assessment, and upscaling construction products — indicating involvement in sustainable material cycle analysis.
Digital transformation and open innovation appear explicitly in BASAJAUN keyword data, suggesting STRUSOFT is positioning its tools as part of construction sector digitalisation.
STRUSOFT's first H2020 project (DREEAM, 2015–2019) carried no keyword annotations in the data, but its title and sector tag point squarely at energy performance in existing buildings — renovation, retrofit, and multi-building efficiency modelling. Their second project (BASAJAUN, 2019–2024) shifted the terrain entirely: wood construction, rural development, circular economy, and environmental assessment of construction materials. The move is from the existing building stock toward new-build sustainable construction, and from purely energy metrics toward a broader environmental and material-lifecycle lens.
STRUSOFT is moving from energy retrofit tooling into sustainable new-build construction — particularly timber structures and circular material systems — which tracks with growing EU investment in bio-based construction and the New European Bauhaus agenda.
STRUSOFT has never led an H2020 project — both participations are as a consortium member, consistent with a specialist software provider that joins larger demonstration initiatives rather than initiating them. Despite only two projects, they accumulated 50 unique partners across 13 countries, which reflects the large Innovation Action consortia typical of their project type rather than a dense personal network. They appear to be a pragmatic, plug-in contributor: brought in for a specific digital capability, not for project management or consortium-building.
Fifty unique consortium partners across 13 countries from just two projects — both large Innovation Actions — points to broad but shallow exposure to European research networks. There is no evidence of repeated partnerships, suggesting STRUSOFT enters new consortia project by project rather than operating within a stable cluster of collaborators.
Structural engineering software companies are rare in EU research consortia, which typically recruit universities, institutes, and industry end-users — not the toolmakers behind the analysis. STRUSOFT fills that gap: they bring the computational platform that others use to model and validate building performance. For a consortium building around timber construction, energy renovation, or sustainable materials, having the software vendor as a partner adds technical credibility and potentially speeds access to engineering tools that the project will need anyway.
