TRINOMICS BV

Their core work

Trinomics is a Rotterdam-based economic and policy consultancy specializing in environment, climate, and energy topics. They help cities and regions design evidence-based policies for air quality improvement, climate adaptation, and green infrastructure deployment. Their work bridges the gap between technical environmental research and actionable urban policy, with a strong emphasis on citizen engagement and participatory governance approaches.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

With only three projects starting between 2016 and 2017, the evolution window is narrow. Their earliest work (CLAiR-CITY, CarbonNext) addressed air pollution and industrial carbon use, while GROW GREEN shifted toward nature-based solutions, climate resilience, and green infrastructure — signaling a move from pollution mitigation toward proactive urban adaptation. The keyword data confirms a growing emphasis on climate resilience, water resilience, and urban policy in their more recent activity.

Trinomics appears to be deepening its focus on nature-based urban solutions and climate adaptation policy, moving beyond pollution control toward integrated green city planning.

How they like to work

Trinomics operates both as a consortium leader and an active partner, having coordinated one project and participated in two others. Across just three projects they accumulated 42 unique partners in 16 countries, indicating they work in large, diverse European consortia rather than small focused teams. This broad network suggests they function as a connector organization comfortable managing multi-country partnerships.

Despite a modest project count, Trinomics has built a wide network of 42 partners across 16 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of urban environment and climate projects. Their reach is distinctly pan-European rather than concentrated in any single region.

What sets them apart

Trinomics occupies a niche as an economic consultancy that speaks both the language of environmental science and urban policy-making. Their ability to coordinate citizen engagement processes (as demonstrated in CLAiR-CITY) while also contributing to technical climate adaptation projects makes them a versatile consortium partner. For anyone building a project that needs to translate environmental research into policy recommendations or citizen-facing actions, Trinomics brings a practical, governance-oriented perspective that pure research organizations lack.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CLAiR-CITY
  Their largest project (EUR 1.2M) and only coordination role — a flagship effort combining air quality, carbon emissions, and citizen participation in urban policy.
• GROW GREEN
  A five-year Innovation Action on nature-based solutions for climate-resilient cities, representing their deepest engagement with green infrastructure topics.
