TRC Group is a technology integrator with over 35 years of proven experience delivering advanced solutions across critical domains including defense, public administration, transportation, healthcare, and enterprise IT. We bring to the table a powerful blend of capabilities—software development, systems integration, cybersecurity, innovation, and IT infrastructure—that directly align with the core objectives of the Horizon Europe Cluster 3 – Civil Security for Society Work Programme for 2025

We are not only a trusted government contractor with high-level security clearance, but also an officially accredited Innovative SME recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness—positioning us ideally for Horizon Europe calls prioritizing impactful, market-driven innovation

Why TRC Group?

Cybersecurity Leadership

TRC’s expertise in operational cybersecurity and managed security services (e.g., TRC INFORMÁTICA) directly supports the "Increased Cybersecurity" (CS) Destination. Our capabilities align with key calls like HORIZON-CL3-2025-02-CS-02, focusing on advanced tools for threat detection, infrastructure protection, and compliance with NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act

We also bring added value to border management and infrastructure security projects where cybersecurity is a critical enabler

Infrastructure Resilience Expertise

With deep experience in IT electrical infrastructure, TRC supports the "Resilient Infrastructure" (INFRA) Destination, helping secure the physical and digital backbone of Europe’s critical entities—healthcare, transport, energy, and public services

Proven Innovation and Uptake

TRC is uniquely suited for calls like HORIZON-CL3-2025-01-SSRI-04, which demand SME-led innovation with clear pathways to uptake. As a government-certified innovative SME, we offer:

  • Real-world tested solutions

  • Deep market insight

  • Close collaboration with public-sector users, and

  • A practical understanding of scaling and deployment

End-User and Practitioner Integration

Our track record in Defense and Security and Public Administration equips us to work effectively with frontline practitioners—police, civil protection, border control, and critical infrastructure operators. This is a crucial requirement across many Cluster 3 topics, ensuring needs-driven design and field validation

Versatile Domain Experience

From healthcare information systems to transportation logistics, TRC offers relevant technological expertise across domains touched by Cluster 3—whether tackling terrorism, protecting external borders, or improving disaster resilience
