TELEVES SA

Their core work

Televés is a large Spanish electronics and telecommunications company based in Santiago de Compostela, specializing in signal distribution, connectivity infrastructure, and IoT-enabled devices. In H2020, they contributed hardware and sensor expertise to projects spanning smart living environments, IoT security, edge AI, and AI-driven manufacturing inspection. Their work bridges telecommunications hardware with emerging software-defined and AI-powered systems, making them a practical technology integrator for connected environments.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Televés entered H2020 focused on IoT connectivity and security — their early projects (ACTIVAGE, GHOST) dealt with deploying and securing IoT networks in home and smart living settings, with blockchain as a trust layer. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward AI and advanced visualization: edge AI devices (ANDANTE), digital twins, augmented reality, and AI-powered manufacturing inspection (OPTIMAI). This trajectory shows a company moving up the value chain from connectivity infrastructure toward intelligent, AI-augmented systems.

Televés is transitioning from a connectivity/IoT hardware provider toward AI-at-the-edge and intelligent manufacturing — expect future work combining their sensor infrastructure with on-device AI.

How they like to work

Televés mostly participates as a partner (3 of 4 projects) rather than leading consortia, though they did coordinate one project (GHOST), demonstrating they can take the lead when the topic aligns with their core IoT security expertise. With 103 unique partners across 14 countries, they operate in large European consortia and are comfortable in diverse, multi-national teams. Their role is typically that of a technology provider contributing hardware, sensors, and integration capabilities to broader research efforts.

Televés has built a broad European network of 103 unique consortium partners across 14 countries, reflecting their participation in large-scale Innovation Actions. This wide reach suggests strong visibility and trusted partnerships across Western and Southern Europe.

What sets them apart

Televés brings something rare to EU consortia: they are a large, established electronics manufacturer with real production lines and distribution networks, not a research lab or startup. This means they can take project results from prototype to market-ready product at scale. Their combination of telecommunications hardware expertise with growing AI and digital twin capabilities makes them a strong industrialization partner for projects that need to move beyond TRL 5-6.
