EuroCC@Greece’s goal is to set up the mechanisms and interactions necessary to support technology transfer in Greece in terms of HPC know-how, applications, tools, and mechanisms. We aim to assist SMEs and large businesses in delivering competitive services and/or products using advanced HPC, build awareness about HPC and AI/HPDA competences, and identify strategies for technology transfer from academia.

Our service portfolio includes:

    • Code4HPC
      • High-level support in optimizing HPC, ML, and AI code development for enhanced performance and scalability.

Furthermore, we provide:

  • Access to funding: For instance, EuroCC@Greece has facilitated access to funding for 4 “Greek” experiments in the framework of the FF4EuroHPC project, namely the GEMINI experiment in the area of CFD, the HPC FOR CANCER DRUG ACCURACY experiment in the area of personalized medicine, the CCUPAR  experiment in the area of CO2 capture and utilization, and the  PEDIDOSE experiment in the areas of medical physics and bioinformatics. Recently, EuroCC@Greece has also supported access to funding for additional innovative projects spanning artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and industrial applications. Among them, the ΔOSIMETReye will utilize AI and HPC to derive organ-specific dosimetry and correlate doses with clinical imaging data. The GENESIS project leverages HPC to enhance genomic selection for climate-resilient crop breeding, with partners BSPOKE and BIOS Agrosystems. ASOB project applies HPC to the aerodynamic and structural optimization of modular bicycles, involving Advanced Engineering, NTUA, PoliMi, and FOSS. The Spirit-in-rowing project integrates AI and HPC to improve the design and competitiveness of rowing boats, supported by Filippi, Datrix, PoliMi, and NTUA. Lastly, mAIntAIn develops an AI-powered platform for monitoring and maintenance of industrial equipment, currently focusing on maritime applications but extendable to broader industrial use, with contributions from Nessos Information Technologies and the MGroup (ISAAR).

EuroCC@Greece is supporting businesses through the following business facilitators:

The  PRAXI Network, an established technology transfer organization with long-standing experience in assisting SMEs and research organizations throughout Greece to achieve cross-border technological cooperation. PRAXI is a distinct administrative unit operating within the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH).

The  Lefkippos Tech Park, founded by the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (NCSRDemokritos). Lefkippos offers business incubator and accelerator services that support innovative ideas within an academic collaborative environment from discovery to commercialization. Lefkippos Tech Park is housed within the Demokritos campus providing the guest companies with some unique research opportunities. 

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Technology Transfer Office (TTO), a mechanism that acts as the contact point between the academic community and the market. Τhe TTO offers services like; commercialization assessment of research results, business development support, preparation for access to finance (i.e. from competitions, angel investors, VCs), IPR management procedures as well as the creation of spin-off companies. The TTO applies an open door policy and networks with public, private institutions and enterprises to expand the valorization prospects of the research results of AUTH. The TTOAUTH promotes synergies between teaching, research and entrepreneurship, through awareness, counseling and business coaching and Technology Transfer Management (so far  75 Patents, 44 Licenses and 11 Spin-offs).
