CORE Group’s newest endeavor, the Greek Smart Factory, is off to a great start following its launch last month.
The Greek Smart Factory is a platform for manufacturers, tech providers and academia, allowing them to network, innovate, and advance in a real industrial environment.
The CORE Innovation Centre (CORE IC), CORE Group’s research and innovation powerhouse, is dedicated to fostering an innovative industrial ecosystem. Through participating in over 50 Horizon EU projects, with over €24 million in EU funding, and a network of more than 300 partners worldwide, CORE IC and CORE Group have developed an expertise in developing Industry 4.0 solutions for various sectors, including extraction, processing, manufacturing, buildings, infrastructure, and energy systems.
Thanks to this rich know-how, and through its participation in the Twin4Twin project, CORE IC has been funded to create the Greek Smart Factory – a trusted platform for manufacturers and tech providers to network, innovate, and advance on their Industry 4.0 journey.
Announcing the Greek Smart Factory to the world
The official announcement took place during the 5th International Smart Factory Summit in Switzerland. Stefanos Kokkorikos and Nikos Kyriakoulis, CORE Group Founders and Managing Partners –visionaries behind the Greek Smart Factory initiative– were invited, to share their vision with fellow smart factory innovators from across the world. Alongside the Swiss Smart Factory, CORE Group acted as the European representatives to our global network of smart factories.
Following the announcement, a stakeholder workshop took place at the CORE Group central offices in Athens, Greece. The workshop was attended by key professionals and manufacturing decision-makers from Greece and our global network, who showed their trust in the Greek Smart Factory vision and provided feedback on our approach, based on their own success stories and the industry’s active needs from such a ground-breaking initiative.
A trusted platform to network, innovate, and advance
The Greek Smart Factory (GSF), envisioned as a legacy scheme, aims to provide a virtual and physical platform for all the needs of manufacturers and tech providers. This platform will allow key decision-makers to apply the latest and greatest academic innovations in an environment that seamlessly simulates their actual industrial setting. Members will be able to use GSF to find resources and solutions to their daily challenges, through interactive partnerships and through identifying their ideal markets. Our resources will be available for members to innovate, testing new technologies and business models, so they can change their status quo and advance in a safe environment before they make the actual investment.
On top of actual, testing-ground collaborations, we want to offer members a space where they can interact through training sessions, pitching meetings and brainstorming workshops, to collaboratively address their common challenges in an equalitarian way.
