TELLU AS

Their core work

Tellu AS is a Norwegian technology SME specializing in IoT platforms, software quality assurance, and trustworthy connected systems. Their work spans the full lifecycle of smart digital systems — from software testing and DevOps practices to secure IoT deployments in industrial settings. They bring practical expertise in making connected devices and digital factory systems reliable and secure, contributing to projects that bridge software engineering with industrial digitalization.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Tellu's H2020 participation spans a compact window (2016–2018 start dates), making dramatic shifts difficult to identify. Their earliest project (STAMP, 2016) focused purely on software testing methods, while their later projects (2017–2018) expanded into IoT trustworthiness, secure connected devices, and digital industry applications. The trajectory suggests a move from foundational software quality tools toward applied IoT and Industry 4.0 challenges where reliability and security are critical.

Tellu moved from pure software testing toward applied IoT trustworthiness and industrial digitalization — a direction relevant for anyone building secure, reliable smart systems.

How they like to work

Tellu has exclusively participated as a partner, never coordinating — consistent with an SME contributing specialized technical expertise to larger initiatives. Their 182 unique partners across 23 countries reflect involvement in very large consortia (SCOTT and Productive4.0 are ECSEL-scale projects with dozens of partners). This means they are experienced working in complex multi-partner environments but are not a consortium-building hub themselves.

Despite only 4 projects, Tellu has worked with 182 partners across 23 countries — a result of participating in large ECSEL and RIA consortia. Their network is broad and pan-European rather than concentrated in any single region.

What sets them apart

Tellu sits at the intersection of software quality assurance and IoT deployment — a niche that matters increasingly as connected systems move into production environments. For a small Norwegian SME, they bring an unusual combination of software testing depth and hands-on IoT experience. A consortium builder needing a partner who understands both how to build connected systems and how to make them trustworthy would find Tellu a practical fit.

Highlights from their portfolio

• STAMP
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 383,150) and their earliest H2020 project, focused on software testing amplification — their foundational expertise.
• ENACT
  Combines DevOps, trustworthiness, and IoT in one project — the clearest expression of Tellu's core capability at the intersection of software engineering and smart systems.
• Productive4.0
  Large-scale ECSEL project connecting Tellu to the digital factory and Industry 4.0 ecosystem, broadening their profile beyond pure software.
