The company can contribute web platforms, prototypes, APIs, data-driven applications, workflow automation and AI-enabled features, from technical discovery and architecture through implementation, testing and deployment. - Full Description - Romanian SME is interested in joining European R&D and innovation projects as the software engineering and product implementation partner. It is particularly suited to projects where research results, domain expertise or new methods need to be transformed into a usable digital product, pilot platform or demonstrator. The company's capabilities include React C# backend and API development, relational databases such as PostgreSQL, cloud deployment, system integrations, dashboards, workflow automation and AI LLM-enabled functionality. Delivery can include requirements refinement, software architecture, rapid prototyping, iterative development, integration, automated testing, deployment and technical documentation. Relevant experience includes a medical ERP used operationally to manage hundreds of patients and Konffer, an internally developed platform for AI-assisted project estimation and managed software delivery. Areas of interest include digital health, business process digitalisation, intelligent workflow systems, AI-assisted applications, data-driven platforms, professional services technology, public-sector digitalisation and other software-intensive innovation projects. The company is open to joining consortia as an SME technology partner rather than coordinator and is interested in Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, Eurostars Eureka, Interreg and other relevant EU or bilateral programmes. No specific call has been selected at this stage. The company is seeking long-term international cooperation, primarily under commercial and cooperation agreements, for the joint development and implementation of EU-funded projects and other international initiatives. - Advantages and Innovations - The company can bridge research concepts and production-oriented software implementation. It combines modern web engineering, API and database development, AI LLM integration and cloud deployment with experience building operational business software. Relevant work includes a medical ERP used to manage hundreds of patients and Konffer, an in-house platform for AI-assisted software project estimation and managed delivery. This makes the company suitable for work packages that require rapid prototyping, technical validation, integration of research outputs into usable applications, iterative user feedback and transition from proof-of-concept to a maintainable software solution. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought - The company seeks European universities, R&D organisations, SMEs, larger companies and consortium coordinators preparing research, innovation or digitalisation projects where a software technology partner is needed. Relevant project needs may include web application development, AI LLM integration, data visualisation, workflow automation, APIs and interoperability, backend services, databases, user-facing prototypes, pilot platforms, testing or cloud deployment. Partners should contribute the scientific, sector, data, validation or coordination expertise required by the project and involve the company in a clearly defined technical work package. - Stage of Development - Available for demonstration - Sustainable Development Goals - Goal 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal - Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being - Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure - Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Partner Sought - Expected Role of a Partner - The organisation is seeking international partners interested in long-term cooperation and the joint development and implementation of EU-funded projects and other international initiatives. The sought partner may be a consortium coordinator, university, R&D institution, technology company, system integrator, sector specialist or end-user organisation preparing an R&D or innovation proposal that requires a software implementation partner. The partner should contribute complementary scientific, sector, data, validation, regulatory, commercial or project-coordination expertise and define the intended research innovation outcome. The Romanian SME would contribute with a clearly scoped software work package covering architecture, prototyping, application development, APIs integrations, AI-enabled functionality, testing, deployment and technical documentation. The company is open to both newly forming consortia and existing consortia that need an additional SME technology partner. - Type and Size of Partner - SME 50 - 249 - SME 11-49 - University - Big company - Other - R&D Institution - SME <=10 - Type of partnership - Research and development cooperation agreement Call details - Framework program - Cooperation - Call title and identifier - No specific call selected.
