What Zelenza does

Zelenza (legal name ZELENZA, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish technology group founded in 1984 and headquartered in Madrid, operating through an ecosystem of wholly-owned specialized subsidiaries that together deliver managed ICT services, physical and cybersecurity, defense technologies, and digital health solutions. The company's portfolio spans five functional areas: managed services (omnichannel Contact Center, ARPPA remote-assistance terminals, BPO), TIC engineering (network and infrastructure deployments, IDboxRT industrial IoT integration), security (Cotelsa border and infrastructure security, PSIM integrations with AppVision/Genetec/Milestone, NIS2 Compliance SaaS), defense (Seadrone USVs including SEAD 23, FOGO 9, ORCA; Swarming TS swarm/MUMT technologies; SIMACODA UxV command-and-control; Atalaya autonomous operations; EIRE emergency swarm response), and digital health (Persei vivarium with ReseaArch, ClinicaaL, Caaring, Clitinerary, Perseed platform, and Digital Therapeutics).

Revenue is generated through managed services contracts, project-based professional services, hardware and systems sales (including the €1.1 million SEAD 23 USV contract awarded by the Spanish Navy in November 2024), and licensing of proprietary software platforms. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to Spanish public administration and critical-infrastructure customers, supplemented by an ecosystem of technology partners (Swarming TS, Cotelsa, SIMACODA, ARPPA, Installaza, APSTEC, IDboxRT, CIC) and supported by CDTI public R&D funding. Approximately 800 professionals serve customers across public administration, defense and security, telecommunications, utilities and energy, financial services, industrial and retail, healthcare, and lottery and gaming within Spain.

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• GMV: Madrid-based technology group specializing in defense, aerospace, GNSS, and unmanned systems software. Directly comparable through SIMACODA-equivalent autonomy stacks (e.g., GMV's UAV command and control), Spanish defense procurement focus, and concurrent participation in EU R&D programs.
• Indra: Spain's largest IT services and defense technology group, competing head-to-head with Zelenza for Spanish public administration, defense, and telecom managed services contracts. Overlap is strongest in the defense and security portfolio (Minsait, Indra Sistemas de Defensa) and in managed services for public sector clients.
• Sener Aeroespacial: Spanish engineering group with defense, naval, and aerospace divisions competing for similar Spanish Navy and aerospace programs. Comparable through integrated engineering-to-delivery model, Spanish defense prime-contractor positioning, and portfolio overlap in naval platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Atos Spain: Broad IT services incumbent operating in Spain with strong public administration and defense ministry relationships. Directly competes with Zelenza on managed services, ServiceNow/ITSM implementations, and critical infrastructure cybersecurity programs.
• Telefónica Tech: Large incumbent in Spanish enterprise ICT, cybersecurity, and managed services. Competes with Zelenza in telecom operator managed services, contact center/BPO, and cybersecurity for public administration, while its scale and telco parent create both benchmark and margin pressure.
• Thales España: Subsidiary of French defense prime competing in Spanish naval, air-traffic, and critical infrastructure security programs. Comparable through defense and security dual-use solutions and Spanish public sector procurement footprint.
• Capgemini Engineering Spain: Global IT services and systems integration incumbent with material Spanish presence. Overlaps with Zelenza on systems integration, digital transformation, and industrial automation projects, particularly for utilities, public sector, and defense-adjacent customers.
• Everis (NTT Data): Now operating under NTT Data, the Spanish-origin consultancy competes with Zelenza on systems integration, BPO, contact center, and public sector digital transformation, particularly for telecom and financial services clients across Iberia.

Regional players

• Navantia: Spanish state-owned naval shipbuilder and defense systems integrator competing for the same Spanish Navy unmanned surface vessel and integrated naval combat system budgets. Direct overlap with Seadrone's USV franchise and potential partnership/competitive tension on autonomy integration.

Emerging players

• Instalaza: Spanish defense firm specializing in loitering munitions and shoulder-launched systems, listed as a Zelenza technology partner. Offers a niche comparison point on Spanish defense innovation and small-batch production of unmanned/loitering weapon systems.
