Greek AI software SME building decision-support platforms for security, crisis management, smart cities, and cross-sector data analytics.
EXUS Software is a Greek technology SME that builds AI-powered software platforms for security, crisis management, and public safety applications. Their core work involves developing decision-support systems, real-time situational awareness tools, and data analytics platforms — often integrating augmented reality, machine learning, and IoT technologies. They serve sectors ranging from emergency response and critical infrastructure protection to smart cities, healthcare monitoring, and agrifood traceability. Across 16 H2020 projects, they consistently appear as the software integration partner that turns sensor data, AI models, and user interfaces into operational tools for end users.
Led STAMINA (pandemic crisis prediction) and S4AllCities (smart city security), and contributed to INGENIOUS, CURSOR, SecureGas, and evaGuide — all focused on threat response and public safety platforms.
Applied ML and predictive analytics across STAMINA (pandemic early warning), S4AllCities (digital twins), NIGHTINGALE (AI-based triage tracking), ELEGANT (edge-to-cloud analytics), and SILVANUS (wildfire management).
Developed AR/VR solutions in INGENIOUS (first responder toolkit), SafePASS (ship evacuation), and S4AllCities (virtual reality for smart cities).
Coordinated ELEGANT (edge-to-cloud analytics with IoT and big data) and contributed to SILVANUS (big-data framework for wildfire management).
Contributed to PHOOTONICS (diabetic foot monitoring), WorkingAge (smart working environments), and ONCORELIEF (cancer patient wellbeing via AI and big data).
Joined Code Re-farm (farm-to-fork quality assessment, product lifecycle monitoring) and Agro2Circular (agrifood upcycling and digitalisation) — both starting in 2021.
EXUS began its H2020 journey in 2018-2019 focused squarely on physical security and emergency response — evacuation systems, critical infrastructure protection, search and rescue robotics, and first responder toolkits using augmented reality and wearables. From 2020 onward, their work pivoted toward AI-driven decision support and predictive analytics, applying machine learning to pandemic management, smart city security, and edge computing. Most recently (2021+), they have diversified further into agrifood digitalisation and environmental monitoring, signaling a broadening from security-only software toward general-purpose AI platforms applicable across multiple domains.
EXUS is evolving from a security-focused software house into a cross-sector AI platform company, increasingly applying their ML and data analytics capabilities to agriculture, environment, and health — making them a versatile technology partner for future consortia beyond security.
EXUS operates as both a project leader and an active consortium partner, having coordinated 4 of their 16 projects (25%) — a high rate for an SME. They work in large, diverse consortia (297 unique partners across 36 countries), indicating they are comfortable integrating their software into complex multi-partner setups. Their wide partner network and lack of repeated narrow clusters suggest they are an adaptable technology provider sought out by different consortia rather than a captive partner of any single group.
With 297 unique consortium partners spanning 36 countries, EXUS has one of the broader collaboration networks for a Greek SME. Their partnerships are spread across Europe without a dominant geographic cluster, reflecting their role as a flexible software integrator invited into diverse security, health, and digital projects.
EXUS stands out as a Greek SME that successfully bridges security-domain expertise with general AI and software engineering, giving them the ability to apply the same core technology stack — ML, AR, IoT platforms — across very different application domains. Their 25% coordination rate is unusually high for an SME of their size, demonstrating they can lead projects, not just contribute components. For consortium builders, EXUS offers a proven track record of delivering software platforms in complex, multi-partner EU projects while bringing cross-sector versatility that most security-focused companies lack.
