Central to BLOOMEN (blockchain in participatory media) and CPN (content personalisation network), both reflecting their core blockchain identity.
BLOCKACHAIN IDIOTIKI KEFALAIOUCHIKI ETAIREIA
Greek blockchain and data technology provider contributing to EU projects in digital media, content verification, and big data infrastructure.
Their core work
Blockachain is a Thessaloniki-based private company specializing in blockchain technology and data infrastructure services. They contribute to EU-funded projects as a third-party provider, supplying blockchain, data analytics, and content management capabilities to larger consortia. Their project portfolio spans blockchain-enabled media (BLOOMEN), big data operations (BigDataStack), content personalization (CPN), and digital verification and disinformation analysis (WeVerify, SOMA). Their consistent third-party role suggests they offer a specific technical service or platform component that consortium partners integrate into broader solutions.
What they specialise in
Contributed to BigDataStack, which focused on data-driven infrastructure management, data-as-a-service, and adaptive visualization.
Participated in both SOMA (social media disinformation observatory) and WeVerify (content verification platform), suggesting capabilities in digital trust technologies.
CPN project specifically targeted content personalisation and context-aware service delivery.
How they've shifted over time
Blockachain entered H2020 in 2017 with projects focused on blockchain-enabled media experiences and content personalization with context-aware services. By 2018, their involvement shifted toward data-driven infrastructure management, big data analytics, and digital verification — indicating a broadening from pure blockchain toward data platforms and trust technologies. The evolution suggests a company that started with blockchain as its core offering and progressively applied it to adjacent domains like data management and information integrity.
Moving from blockchain-specific work toward broader data integrity and verification applications, suggesting future relevance in digital trust and misinformation countermeasures.
How they like to work
Blockachain operates exclusively as a third-party contributor — they have never coordinated or formally participated as a named partner in any H2020 project. This pattern indicates they provide a specific technical capability or service that primary consortium members subcontract for. Despite this indirect role, they have connected to 43 unique partners across 12 countries, showing they are a sought-after specialist provider rather than a passive subcontractor.
Through their five third-party engagements, Blockachain has been linked to 43 distinct consortium partners across 12 European countries — a surprisingly wide network for an organization that operates solely in subcontracted roles.
What sets them apart
Blockachain occupies a niche as a blockchain and data technology provider that integrates into larger EU consortia without taking on coordination responsibilities. Their involvement in both creative-sector blockchain projects and disinformation-fighting initiatives is an unusual combination, suggesting they can apply distributed ledger and data technologies across quite different application domains. For consortium builders, they represent a low-overhead technical contributor who can slot into projects needing blockchain or data verification components.
