Their core work

TST is a Spanish SME based in Santander that develops IoT platforms, connectivity solutions, and embedded systems for smart cities, precision agriculture, and industrial automation. They specialize in integrating heterogeneous digital systems — making devices, sensors, and platforms talk to each other across domains like urban infrastructure, farming, and mobility. Their technical work spans 5G hardware, blockchain-based security layers, and distributed AI, consistently serving as the integration and interoperability partner in large European consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

TST started in 2015 focused squarely on smart city IoT platforms and 5G telecommunications — classic urban digital infrastructure work (OrganiCity, Flex5Gware, SynchroniCity). From 2018 onward, their focus visibly broadened into cybersecurity, precision agriculture, power semiconductors, and distributed AI. The recent keyword profile — with terms like "farming robots," "autonomous vehicles," "trustable AI," and "electric mobility" — shows a clear pivot from city-centric connectivity toward cross-domain intelligent systems that span agriculture, transport, and industry.

TST is moving from being a connectivity/IoT specialist toward becoming a cross-domain systems integrator for trustworthy AI and autonomous cyber-physical systems across agriculture, mobility, and industry.

How they like to work

TST operates exclusively as a participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, which positions them as a reliable technical contributor rather than a project leader. With 262 unique consortium partners across 27 countries in just 8 projects, they join large, diverse consortia (averaging 30+ partners per project). This pattern suggests they are valued as a specialized integration partner that fits into complex multi-stakeholder setups without needing to drive the overall agenda.

TST has built an exceptionally broad network for an SME — 262 unique partners across 27 countries from just 8 projects. This reach reflects their participation in large-scale ECSEL and IoT flagship projects, giving them connections across most of Europe's industrial and research landscape.

What sets them apart

TST brings a rare combination for a Spanish SME: deep IoT/connectivity roots with expanding capability in AI, cybersecurity, and agricultural automation. Their strength lies in making different systems interoperate — whether that means connecting city sensors, farm robots, or industrial controllers. For consortium builders, they offer a technically versatile SME partner based in northern Spain with proven ability to deliver across very different application domains.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Flex5Gware
  TST's largest single grant (EUR 348K) and their earliest deep-tech project, developing flexible 5G hardware/software platforms — established their telecommunications credentials.
• AFarCloud
  Marks TST's expansion into precision agriculture, combining their IoT expertise with autonomous farming robots, livestock monitoring, and cyber-physical systems.
• DAIS
  Their most recent project (2021-2024) signals their strategic pivot toward distributed AI, trustability, and cross-domain interoperability — likely their future direction.
