EMVIS SYMVOULOI MICHANIKOI ANONYMI ETAIREIA

Their core work

EMVIS AE is a Greek engineering consultancy SME specializing in water resource management tools that integrate Earth Observation (EO) data with hydrological modelling. They build decision support systems for water utilities, combining satellite data (Copernicus) with predictive analytics to optimize water quality monitoring and supply services. More recently, they have expanded into climate services, delivering medium-to-seasonal range forecasting tools for water-dependent industries.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 period (2015-2018), EMVIS focused squarely on operational water management — building EO-powered platforms for water quality forecasting, data assimilation, and utility performance monitoring. From 2019 onward, they shifted toward longer-range predictive capabilities and climate services, moving from real-time decision support to seasonal forecasting and climate adaptation for water-dependent industries. This evolution shows a company climbing the value chain from monitoring tools to strategic climate intelligence.

EMVIS is moving from operational water monitoring toward climate adaptation services, positioning themselves at the intersection of EO data, hydrology, and climate resilience — a growing funding priority in Horizon Europe.

How they like to work

EMVIS balances leadership and partnership equally, coordinating 2 of their 4 projects (SPACE-O, PrimeWater) while participating in the other two. With 30 unique partners across 13 countries from just 4 projects, they build broad European consortia rather than relying on a small circle of repeat collaborators. This suggests they are comfortable leading mid-sized projects and bring enough credibility to attract diverse partners across multiple countries.

EMVIS has built a network of 30 partners across 13 countries through just 4 projects, indicating they actively seek diverse European consortia rather than working within a closed group. Their reach spans well beyond Greece and the Mediterranean.

What sets them apart

EMVIS occupies a specific niche as a Greek SME that can both coordinate EU projects and deliver technical EO-hydrology integration — a combination uncommon among small engineering firms. Their progression from water utility tools to climate services gives them end-to-end capability from satellite data processing to actionable forecasts for industry. For consortium builders, they offer a technically credible coordinator option with proven ability to manage multi-country projects on water-climate topics.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PrimeWater
  Their largest funded project (EUR 601,936) as coordinator, advancing predictive water tools from operational to seasonal timescales — a significant step up in ambition.
• SPACE-O
  Their first coordinated project, establishing their core identity as builders of EO-powered decision support systems for water utilities using Copernicus data.
• I-CISK
  Signals their strategic pivot into climate services and co-production of knowledge, connecting them to the growing climate adaptation community.
