Each milestone was not only the result of hard work, but also of the trust placed in Thaleria by partners, clients and colleagues - for which we are deeply grateful.
With years of previous experience in the IT market, the team established Thaleria as their vision of the ideal IT Services company: putting technical staff at the center of an innovative, distributed model with strong processes and control mechanisms. Thaleria launched its activities in January 2019, and grew to 28 people by end of year with clients such as the European Commission, eu-LISA and the Committee of the Regions.
Thaleria established a partnership with the U² Plus Consortium in Q4 of 2019 to tackle two major Framework Contracts at eu-LISA, the Large-scale IT Systems Agency in Strasbourg: EXTRA and TEF Lot 1. Both offers were successful, and Thaleria France was officially incorporated in December 2019 to support the growth of our activities in Strasbourg.
Thaleria kept reinforcing its core teams and growing in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching 66 people by end of 2020, and a Bid Management department was created to expand services into Quoted Time & Means and Fixed-Price models. Driven by the need to shift activities into near-shoring under the "new normal", Thaleria Portugal was established in April of 2021 as Thaleria’s Delivery Center in Lisbon.
Overcoming the turmoil of the pandemic, and supported by our near-shoring capacity, Thaleria reached a major milestone by end of 2021: 102 staff members providing technology services for a wide array of European Institutions. Managing scale allowed Thaleria to custom-develop our own proprietary contract management platforms, thereby digitalising and modernising our field - a core unique selling point which would later become critical.
Thaleria achieved in 2022 another major milestone as part of the Eurora Supernova Consortium: the award of DIGIT-TM2 from the DG DIGIT of the European Commission, the largest IT Framework Contract of the European Institutions, representing €2.7 billion and up to 4500 FTEs. To further support this and other new contracts won, a new Thaleria branch was created in Luxembourg.
2023 saw Thaleria trusted by its partners as consortium leader of several major bids for the first time, eventually leading to successful contracts with the European Investment Bank, the European Environment Agency, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. To further solidify its governance and processes, Thaleria also implemented and was awarded the ISO 9001 and 27001 standards, respectively for managing Quality and Information Security.
Building on our expertise in security-cleared contexts and our long-standing relationship with eu-LISA, Thaleria won three major strategic framework contracts: eu-LISA's EXTRA-NG, Europol's ICT Consultancy and Frontex's DESOPS. Together, eu-LISA and Frontex deeply strengthen our position in security, migration and border management, while eu-LISA and Europol extend our reach across the justice and law enforcement domains.
During 2025, Thaleria won three additional major framework contracts, all inter-institutional: MAIA for Application Development work, DIGIT's High-level Advisory, Consulting and Studies (HACS), and EFSA's Inter-Agency AI Governance and Data Management. This strong push into managed services (both under fixed-price and QTM models), secured a strong position for Thaleria within the European Institutions main instruments for IT outsourcing and digital transformation.
2026 was arguably the most pivotal year for Thaleria: we reached >200 people and €25M of annualised revenue; a partnership with Accenture & Arhs for eu-LISA activities resulted in (so far) 2 new major contracts, for EES and sBMS; the award of the DIGIT-TM3 contract doubled Thaleria's presence at the Commission; the administrative team was reinforced with 5 new members to scale with activities; and MyThaleria was officially rolled out as a digital platform open to the market.
