CORE has been on
quite a journey

Founded by a team of 2 in 2016, we have since grown into a team of 70 people. We have physical offices in the south of Athens, but our hybrid way of working and our global reach means our impact knows no borders.

Our Purpose

Staying true to our mission and the values that have guided us this far, we want to offer even more individuals and organisations with opportunities to reach their true potential, making industries smarter, greener, and more socially inclusive.

We deliver Industry 4.0
technological solutions
to empower industrial operations

We harness data to provide tailor‑made machine learning algorithms for predictive maintenance and smart energy management, in various industrial applications. Our target industries, so far, include Industry 4.0 & Manufacturing, Process & Mining, Critical Infrastructure and Equipment.

Our Milestone Initiatives

CORE Innovation Centre is a private non‑profit research organisation providing industrial R&D and cutting‑edge Industry 4.0 solutions.

COREbeat is a plug and play, end‑to‑end predictive maintenance platform that helps manufactures extend their assets operational health.

SIRI is a digital maturity assessment tool that helps manufacturers assess their Industry 4.0 readiness.

Greek Smart Factory is a test & demo platform that empowers manufacturers to innovate, collaborate, and test before they invest.

In 2016, two people made the choice to build the company they always wanted to work for.

Stefanos Kokkorikos and Nikos Kyriakoulis launched CORE Innovation in Athens to bring deep technology to Greek industry.

In 2017 we took on our first projects

Theory met practice. Our first EU-funded projects proved that what we were building had real value. Little did we know, these would become the very ground on which we'd build everything that followed.

In 2020 we founded CORE Innovation Centre.

We wanted to give our research a home of its own: non-profit, focused, and built to run EU-funded projects and push industrial R&D forward.

In 2021 the research became a product.

The expertise we built through our projects, became the foundation for COREbeat: a plug-and-play predictive maintenance platform designed to transform how machines are monitored and maintained.

In 2023 we launched the Greek Smart Factory.

Our experience, and a network of partners across Europe we'd spent years building, made it possible: an ecosystem where manufacturers can test, break, and improve before they commit.

At the same time we became more than 50!

What started with two people quietly passed a milestone. A team of fifty and somehow the energy only got bigger.

We moved into a new space. The vision got bigger too.

We moved into a space built entirely around how we work. Open, collaborative, and ready for what's next.

In 2024 Greece got its first SIRI assessors (us!)

Before a factory can transform, it needs to know where it stands. We brought a globally recognised Industry 4.0 readiness framework to Greek industry.

In 2025, we hosted CORE Innovation Days

The first annual conference in Greece dedicated to Industry 4.0. We brought industry, academia, and policy under one roof to address what happens after research, before a product exists.

10 years of deciding what’s next

A decade in, and the best chapters are still being written. More than sixty people, hundreds of partners, and an industry that's only just beginning to transform.
