BEHOLDER Project

ITTI SP. Z O.O.

Who we are

ITTI Sp. z o.o. (ITTI) is a Polish SME combining the strengths of a software house and technology company. We design and deliver tailor-made IT solutions for research, commercial, public sector organisations, and the space industry. Our expertise lies in creating added value through advanced competences in CBRN protection, enhancing safety in public spaces and high-risk environments.

Why we joined BEHOLDER

We joined BEHOLDER to contribute our expertise in CBRN protection, crisis management, decision support and data fusion to a project that tackles pressing urban security challenges. With extensive experience in EU R&D initiatives, we see BEHOLDER as a unique opportunity to co-create an integrated, future-proof solution that strengthens resilience and safety across European public spaces. The project also enables us to validate our technologies in real-world scenarios, deepen collaboration with leading European partners, and further advance our mission of delivering innovative IT solutions that support security and societal well-being.

Our role in BEHOLDER

At ITTI, we turn complex science into practical safety solutions for everyday life. In BEHOLDER, our main task is to integrate multiple detection technologies using advanced data fusion. This enables faster and more reliable threat identification, ensuring that dangerous substances are detected as soon as they appear.

How we collaborate

We believe collaboration is about continuous exchange of knowledge and experience. In BEHOLDER, we foster openness and diversity, supporting one another and building on each partner’s strengths to achieve shared goals. Our approach is based on transparent communication and mutual support.

Our innovation

We transform sensors into intelligent guardians of public spaces — capable of detecting, analysing, and responding to threats in real time.

What we expect from BEHOLDER

We aim to develop smart sensors that can analyse data autonomously and react instantly to threats. This innovation will create faster, more reliable and decentralised security systems, making cities safer and more resilient for everyone.

Our future vision

BEHOLDER strengthens our expertise in CBRN protection, AI and sensor integration. By validating new technologies that can be scaled and adapted to future markets, the project connects innovation with real-world needs. This reinforces our role as a trusted partner in creating safer and smarter societies.
