GREENER THAN GREEN TECHNOLOGIES AE

Their core work

Greener Than Green Technologies is a Greek environmental technology SME specializing in water resource management and industrial water efficiency. Their work spans both natural water systems — specifically coastal and subsurface water — and industrial applications where water use can be optimized through circular economy approaches. In practice, they operate as a technology contributor within large international consortia, bringing applied environmental expertise to Innovation Action projects aimed at market deployment rather than basic research. Their trajectory suggests a commercial focus on solutions that reduce industrial water consumption and promote resource recovery in industrial-utility partnerships.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 work (SUBSOL, 2015-2018), GTG Technologies focused on natural water systems — specifically subsurface coastal aquifer management and bringing those solutions closer to commercial use, with no documented circular economy framing. By their second project (ULTIMATE, 2020-2024), the emphasis had shifted clearly toward industrial water efficiency, water-utility symbiosis, and circular economy principles. This evolution follows a logical path: from managing natural water scarcity to optimizing how industry consumes and recycles water — a higher-value, more commercially scalable problem.

GTG Technologies is moving toward industrial water circularity — a fast-growing area driven by EU water stress policy and corporate sustainability targets — making them a relevant partner for any consortium addressing water efficiency in manufacturing or utilities.

How they like to work

GTG Technologies has never led an H2020 project — both participations are as a consortium partner, suggesting they are comfortable contributing specialist expertise rather than taking on coordination responsibility. The scale of their network is notable: 41 unique partners across 12 countries from just two projects indicates they join large, multi-stakeholder Innovation Action consortia rather than tight bilateral partnerships. This profile fits an organization that provides applied technology input within broader, implementation-focused teams.

Despite only two projects, GTG Technologies has built a network of 41 unique consortium partners spanning 12 countries, reflecting their participation in large pan-European Innovation Actions. Their partnerships are likely concentrated in Southern and Western Europe given the water-stress policy context of both projects.

What sets them apart

GTG Technologies occupies a specific niche at the intersection of water technology and circular economy — a combination increasingly central to EU industrial policy and corporate ESG commitments. As a small Greek company, they bring Southern European water scarcity context to consortia that often lack it, and their SME status makes them eligible for specific funding instruments. Their value to a consortium is focused and practical: applied water technology expertise in an Innovation Action context, without the overhead of a large institution.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ULTIMATE
  Their largest project by funding (€626,901) and most thematically aligned with current EU water policy — industry-utility water symbiosis at scale, running through 2024.
• SUBSOL
  Their earliest H2020 entry, focused on coastal groundwater market deployment — a commercially rare specialization in subsurface water resource management.
