Partnering Offers

Unfire offers BOLT as a complementary software component for interregional projects that need controlled multi-step AI-assisted workflows across existing systems. We can contribute workflow/state orchestration, explicit tool permissions, mandatory human approval gates, exception handling and bounded retry/recovery, provenance and auditability, API/system integration, and operational telemetry for measurable pilots. We are looking to join an experienced consortium as a technology partner rather than coordinate. Best fit: projects in which an existing domain platform or industrial/service workflow needs a governed AI execution layer, cross-system orchestration, traceable human-in-the-loop operations or controlled agent workflows. We are especially interested in pilots where BOLT can be integrated and validated against clear technical KPIs in Catalonia and other EU regions.

Optimems offers TRL 9, market-ready energy management and control technologies for the deployment and coordinated operation of renewable energy, battery storage and flexible energy assets, forming next-generation Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Microgrids.

The Optimems product suite has already been commercially deployed in more than 1,400 energy assets, representing over 1 GW of controlled capacity, proving its true hardware agnostic and plug-n-play capabilities supporting the integration across 70+ equipment manufacturers, while more than 100,000 remote grid-control commands have been successfully executed. The Optimems tech stack has been tested and integrated across different asset configurations, manufacturers, communication protocols and operational requirements, providing a proven basis for replication and deployment in new regions and energy markets.
Through +SolarControl, its field-level future-proof control solution, Optimems provides real-time monitoring, communication and robust closed-loop control of production and storage energy assets, operating as the actor for DSO/TSO and aggregator portfolio remote management.  On top of that layer, +Mind, its optimal Energy Management System (EMS), adds forecasting and true optimisation capabilities to unlock energy market participation, ancillary services and demand-response potential for dynamic VPPs and microgrids.

Optimems can contribute to interregional investment projects through:
- deployment and integration of mature, market-deployed EMS and fail-safe asset-control technologies in new pilot and commercial environments;
- integration of PV, wind, BESS and flexible loads, from individual installations to aggregated VPP portfolios;
- interoperability with heterogeneous equipment, existing SCADA infrastructure, aggregators, DSOs, TSOs and third-party platforms;
- forecasting, multi-objective optimisation and automated control for storage, renewable energy integration, flexibility and microgrid or VPP applications;
- adaptation and validation of existing solutions under different grid, market and operational conditions;
- technical support for replication and scale-up to larger portfolios and additional regions.

Optimems originates from the research and innovation ecosystem of CERTH/ITI, and its team combines a strong academic and R&D background in power systems, optimisation, AI, IoT, hardware and energy markets with extensive experience in commercial deployments.

Optimems is particularly interested in collaborations where its existing technology can be integrated into real energy infrastructure and investment cases, together with utilities, aggregators, renewable energy developers, storage providers, industrial energy users, technology companies and regional ecosystems.

BIT@work offers cross-domain technology and R&D capabilities for developing, integrating, validating and scaling next-generation digital solutions and adaptive ecosystems. We can contribute as a technology and R&D partner or technical work-package lead, supporting projects from architecture and concept development through implementation, real-world validation and scale-up.

Our capabilities include:
• Technology, platform & solution architecture – designing scalable, modular and reusable architectures, platforms and solution ecosystems that connect technology with real-world organisational needs.

• Human-AI & technology capabilities – developing adaptive solutions in which people, software, data, knowledge, automation and intelligent technologies work together effectively, with each capability applied where it creates the most value.

• Data, cloud & digital engineering – data integration and processing, cloud and data platforms, APIs, analytics, governance, automation and the technical foundations required for scalable digital solutions.

• Intelligent automation, decision support & optimisation – combining deterministic software, automation and intelligent technologies to improve processes, decisions and outcomes, while optimising the system as a whole rather than maximising the use of any single technology.

• Systems integration & interoperability – connecting existing software, data, platforms, services and, where relevant, operational or production environments into coherent end-to-end solutions.

• Prototyping, testing & real-world validation – rapidly turning concepts into working prototypes, carrying out technical and functional testing, validating solutions with users and organisations, and supporting progression towards higher technology readiness levels.

• Deployment, productisation & scale-up – transforming validated technology into robust, reusable and scalable solutions suitable for wider organisational, regional and cross-sector adoption.

• Business, market & investment development – contributing to business cases, financial analysis, market intelligence, commercialisation strategies and the translation of technological opportunities into viable investment cases.

• Project & stakeholder leadership – technical work-package leadership, project structuring and coordination across business, technology, research and external partners, helping move complex initiatives from concept to delivery.

Our capabilities are intentionally cross-domain. Current and emerging areas of interest include digital commerce, mobility, industry and production, agrifood, energy, sustainability and human-centred digital innovation. We are equally interested in new combinations of sectors and technologies where our capabilities can create meaningful value.

Collaboration interest: Our primary objective is to establish strong partnerships and consortium positions for the 2027 I3 Strand 1 and Strand 2a investment calls. We are also open to participation in the current 2026 calls where an advanced consortium, experienced coordinator and clearly complementary technology role are already in place. We are interested in both near-term investment projects and longer-term strategic collaborations that can develop into future interregional innovation projects.
