Every milestone shaped who we are.
Here's how we got here.
It started with two people who chose 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.
CORE Innovation was founded.
2016
🇬🇷 Athens, Greece
2017
Theory met practice. Our first EU‑funded projects proved that what we were building had real value.
First projects.
2019
CORE Innovation Centre was founded.
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 brought a research thought to life
COREbeat is a plug-and-play predictive maintenance platform that lets manufacturers listen to their machines before they break down.
A physical and digital space where manufacturers can test, prototype, and validate ideas before committing resources.
Try it, break it, improve it.
Greek Smart Factory launched.

2022
What started with two people quietly passed a milestone. A team of fifty and somehow the energy only got bigger.
We became more than 50.
50
Power in Numbers. Things got real fast
New space.
Bigger vision.
2023
We moved into a space built entirely around how we work. Open, collaborative, and ready for what's next.
Greece got its first SIRI assessors (us!)
2024
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.
2025
We hosted CORE Innovation Days, Greece's first conference dedicated to Industry 4.0. We brought industry, academia, and policy under one roof to address what happens after research, before a product exists.
CORE Innovation Days!
10 years and counting.
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.
