The Hellenic Center for Defence Innovation (ELKAK) has announced the launch of its upgraded Digital Mapping Platform, a move aimed at the comprehensive recording and utilization of the domestic defense technology ecosystem. Currently, the map includes more than 600 companies, while including research units, the total number of mapped entities reaches approximately 800.
A Unified Reference Point for Defense
The upgraded platform serves as a central hub connecting the Armed Forces with industry, research, startups, and investors. As stated by the Chairman and CEO of ELKAK, Pantelis Tzortzakis, this tool is critical for capturing the potential of the Greek market and converting research into operational power.
The mapping covers companies of all sizes developing solutions in:
- Purely defense-related technologies.
- Dual-use technologies, with applications in both military and civilian sectors.
Benefits and International Outlook
Registered members gain privileged access to information regarding opportunities within the European and NATO ecosystems. Furthermore, the platform facilitates participation in pitching events, B2B meetings, and national missions.
ELKAK is calling on already mapped entities to update their data to ensure more effective matching of their technological solutions with specific funding opportunities and operational requirements.
