Post-quantum security · European R&D
uPQComing
Preparing Europe for the post-quantum era.
A European research programme developing resilient, interoperable security for critical digital systems as quantum computing advances.
Pertimm research
Researching what comes next.
Since 2017, Pertimm has explored advanced AI through multilingual language and voice technologies, machine learning and collaborative European R&D. Today this work extends to Physical AI, trusted and sovereign systems, and post-quantum security for strategic digital infrastructure.
Pertimm is a leading European research partner for novel applications of AI, NLP, LLM, and big data.

HumAMI
Building AI for the physical world.
A European programme advancing human-inspired machine intelligence that can perceive, reason and interact with real-world systems safely and reliably.
AI research heritage
Research is part of our DNA.
Earlier European programmes show the path from multilingual AI to intelligent mobility, before today’s Physical AI and post-quantum research.
2017–2019 Multilingual AI / NLP
VOQAL
Privacy-conscious multilingual voice and natural-language technologies for conversational systems that were faster and more cost-effective to deploy.

THERADIA
AI-assisted digital therapies
As part of a consortium of 6 partners, Pertimm seeks to develop “cognitive remediation” solutions to improve clinical outcomes of patients suffering from neurodegenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, dyslexia, and dementia.
This will be achieved by leveraging large language models and artificial intelligence to enhance digital therapies that target cognitive deficits and improve executive functionality and overall independence and quality of life.
2023–2026 AI for electric mobility
OPEVA
OPtimization of Electric Vehicle Autonomy
European research into electric-vehicle autonomy, using vehicle and external data to improve energy management, range prediction and charging decisions.
As project coordinator and co-sponsor of OPEVA, Pertimm leads a Europe-wide consortium of 35 partners from 9 European countries to increase autonomy of electric vehicles by addressing both adoption challenges and overall optimisation opportunities of the entire EV ecosystem. The project will explore technology solutions to address the value chain of electric mobility (Tier-1, Tier-2, OEMs and technology providers) including cost, charging capabilities, range and duration needs of the mobility experience.
