BEHOLDER Project

Székely Family and Co. Nonprofit Llc.

Who we are

Székely Family and Co. Nonprofit LLc. (SFC) is an SME with a vision to contribute to a more secure and sustainable future for the next generations. The main focus of SFC is to bring innovative results to the market and provide accelerator services for companies in commercialisation of research and innovation output.

Why we joined BEHOLDER

We believe BEHOLDER represents an essential step toward this vision. Public spaces should be places of safety, free from concerns about terrorist threats or industrial disasters. Communities thrive on trust, but fear can weaken and divide them. Through BEHOLDER, we aim to help communities remain strong, confident, and resilient in the face of emerging threats.

Our role in BEHOLDER

SFC brings radiological expertise to the project, adding the “R” to CBRN-E with our radiological sensors. Beyond technology, we lead the communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities — ensuring that accurate information reaches a wide audience and strengthens community confidence in security and resilience.

How we collaborate

We stay closely aligned with the heartbeat of the project: contributing to design and development, demonstrating our technologies, and supporting all partners in achieving their communication and dissemination goals. In addition, we assist the coordinator with risk and quality management, as well as ethical and data protection issues.

Innovation we bring

SFC introduces radiological IoT sensors that can be seamlessly integrated into street furniture — an unobtrusive yet powerful way to enhance urban safety.

Expected outcomes

By the end of the project, we envision an integrated package of solutions available for smart cities, enabling them to face CBRN-E threats with heightened awareness and resilience.

Our future vision

When dealing with CBRN-E, time is the most critical factor. BEHOLDER helps buy that time — giving cities and responders the chance to prevent incidents or respond more effectively. Our ambition is to see BEHOLDER deployed in more and more cities worldwide, protecting citizens through advanced, real-time solutions.

Beyond BEHOLDER

SFC also plays a leading role in other CBRN-E-related projects such as PEERS, where we served as the lead technological provider. We drove the creation of the PEERS dataset, developed the dataset viewer mobile app, and designed a proof-of-concept command and control room in virtual reality (VR). The project finished in September 2025.
