2016


🇬🇷 Athens, Greece

Stefanos & Nikos had a great idea.

Just 2 people, a whiteboard, and a dream – and thus came CORE Innovation!

Two people. One shared belief. The audacity to build something that didn't exist yet.

2017


First projects.

Idea on paper, results in hand

Theory met practice. Our first EUfunded projects proved that what we were building had real value.

2019


CORE Innovation Centre was founded.

Where research lives

We wanted research to have its own space to breathe. CORE Innovation Centre was born as our dedicated research arm- non-profit, focused, and built specifically to run EU-funded projects and push industrial R&D forward.

2020


We shipped a product

from research to real product

We built the product we always knew industry needed. COREbeat is a plug-and-play predictive maintenance platform that lets manufacturers listen to their machines before they break down.

2022


Greek Smart Factory launched.

Test before you invest

A physical and digital space where manufacturers can test, prototype, and validate ideas before committing resources.

Try it, break it, improve it.

2024


New space.
Bigger vision.

A warehouse transformed into a home for innovation.

filled every corner
under a year

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

2024


Greece got its first SIRI assessors (us!)

you can't get there if you don't know where you are

Before a factory can transform, it needs to know where it stands. We became the only certified SIRI assessors in Greece, bringing a globally recognised Industry 4.0 readiness framework to Greek industry.

2024


We became more than 50.

Power in Numbers. Things got real fast

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

2025


CORE Innovation Days!

the room gets bigger every year

We hosted CORE Innovation Days, Greece's first conference dedicated to Industry 4.0. We brought industry, academia, and policy under one roof.

10 years and counting.

best chapter still unwritten

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