WONDERLOGICS LTD

Their core work

Wonderlogics Ltd (trading as WonderLogix) is an Israeli software SME that builds web-based tools for industrial control systems (ICS) engineering. Their flagship product, Wonderlogix STUDIO, is an end-to-end platform that allows engineers to design, configure, and implement industrial control logic through a browser-based interface — removing the dependency on proprietary, vendor-locked programming environments. Their H2020 trajectory follows a textbook SME Instrument path: Phase 1 feasibility study in 2016, followed by a full Phase 2 product development grant of nearly €2 million in 2018, indicating the technology passed EU market validation. They operate at the intersection of industrial automation and software development, targeting the engineering tools market rather than deploying control systems themselves.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Wonderlogics' H2020 history covers only 2016–2020 and represents a single product lifecycle rather than a shift in research direction. The Phase 1 project (2016–2017) was a feasibility and concept validation exercise for seamless industrial control, while the Phase 2 project (2018–2020) was a full-scale build-out of the same platform with nearly 40x more funding. There is no evidence of a pivot or broadening of scope — this is a focused, product-driven company that deepened one idea rather than diversifying. The trajectory suggests they were in growth and commercialisation mode by 2018, not early-stage research.

Their entire EU-funded trajectory points toward a mature, commercially ready industrial software product — a future collaborator would be engaging a technology vendor rather than a research partner.

How they like to work

Wonderlogics has functioned exclusively as a sole coordinator in both H2020 projects, with no recorded consortium partners — consistent with the SME Instrument scheme, which is designed for single-company innovation grants rather than multi-partner research. This means there is no track record of collaborative project management with external partners in the EU funding context. Anyone looking to bring them into a consortium would be working with an organisation whose EU experience is entirely as a self-directed product developer, not a collaborative research actor.

Wonderlogics has zero recorded consortium partners and no cross-country collaboration in H2020 data, which is expected for SME Instrument grants. Their network, if any, is commercial rather than academic — the data offers no visibility into industry partnerships or customer relationships.

What sets them apart

Wonderlogics stands out as one of the few Israeli SMEs in H2020 to receive both Phase 1 and Phase 2 SME Instrument funding for an industrial control systems software product — a combination that signals both technical credibility and commercial viability as assessed by EU evaluators. Their specific niche — web-based ICS design tools — addresses a real pain point in industrial engineering, where most competing tools are desktop-bound and vendor-proprietary. For a consortium needing an industrial automation software component with a proven, funded product, they represent a rare off-the-shelf capability rather than a research promise.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Wonderlogix STUDIO (Phase 2)
  Received nearly €1.94 million under SME Instrument Phase 2 — the largest single EU grant for this organisation and a strong signal of commercial readiness validated by EU reviewers.
• Wonderlogix STUDIO (Phase 1)
  The Phase 1 feasibility grant that preceded Phase 2 demonstrates a successful SME Instrument full-cycle execution, which fewer than 10% of Phase 1 applicants achieve.
