YOGOKO

Their core work

YOGOKO is a French technology SME specializing in 5G network applications and edge computing, based in Cesson Sévigné — a recognized French ICT hub near Rennes with a strong telecom industry presence. Their technical work covers the deployment and management of NetApps (network applications) on 5G infrastructure, including Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and network orchestration through MANO frameworks. They also bring cybersecurity expertise for complex automated systems, demonstrated through earlier work on securing cross-domain automotive and safety-critical platforms. Their combination of 5G application development and embedded security makes them relevant to verticals such as connected mobility, public safety communications, and industrial IoT.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their earliest H2020 involvement (SECREDAS, 2018–2021), YOGOKO operated in the automotive cybersecurity space, working on dependable and secure cross-domain automated systems — a domain with no recorded public keyword output, suggesting a more execution-focused or niche technical role. Their second project (5GASP, 2021–2024) marks a clear pivot toward 5G infrastructure and application services, with a dense cluster of network-layer keywords: NetApps, MANO, MEC, and DevOps. The thread connecting both phases is critical-system reliability — from securing automotive platforms to deploying and certifying applications on 5G networks for high-stakes use cases like automotive connectivity and PPDR.

YOGOKO is moving deeper into 5G application layer expertise — NetApps, MEC orchestration, and DevOps pipelines — making them a candidate partner for projects involving 5G service platforms, edge-native applications, or connected critical infrastructure.

How they like to work

YOGOKO participates exclusively as a consortium partner and has never held a coordinator role across their two H2020 projects. Despite this, they have accumulated an unusually wide network for a two-project SME — 86 unique partners across 21 countries — indicating participation in large, multi-partner Research and Innovation Actions typical of EU 5G infrastructure programs. This profile suggests they function as a specialist technical contributor, brought in for specific capabilities rather than for project management or consortium leadership.

YOGOKO has engaged with 86 unique consortium partners across 21 countries — a broad footprint for an SME with only two projects, reflecting the large multi-stakeholder consortia typical of 5G and automotive safety programs. No evidence of geographic concentration beyond their European reach.

What sets them apart

YOGOKO occupies a specific niche at the intersection of 5G application services and safety-critical system security — a combination that is commercially relevant as connected vehicles, smart infrastructure, and emergency communications all converge on 5G. As an SME in the Rennes ICT cluster, they likely operate close to major French telecom and defense contractors, which can accelerate technology transfer and industry uptake. Their relatively small project footprint means they remain agile and focused, which can be an asset in consortia that need a committed technical specialist rather than a large institution with divided attention.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5GASP
  Their largest project by funding (€417,375) and the source of all recorded technical keywords — a flagship EU 5G experimentation platform covering NetApps, MEC, MANO, automotive, PPDR, and DevOps in a single scope.
• SECREDAS
  An early-stage engagement with cross-domain cybersecurity for automated systems, establishing YOGOKO's credentials in safety-critical domains before their 5G pivot.
