NOKIA SOLUTIONS AND NETWORKS HELLAS SINGLE MEMBER SA

Their core work

Nokia Solutions and Networks Hellas is the Greek subsidiary of Nokia's network infrastructure division, focused on deploying and validating 5G network technologies across vertical industry applications. They bring large-scale telecom infrastructure expertise to EU research projects, contributing network slicing, orchestration, and management capabilities for sectors like tourism, healthcare, media, and mobility. More recently, they have expanded into cybersecurity for IoT and 5G networks, including automated firmware and software security assessment. They also contribute connectivity expertise to cross-domain projects such as intelligent water treatment.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Nokia Hellas entered H2020 in 2018 focused squarely on 5G infrastructure validation and vertical industry applications — network slicing, orchestration, and service delivery for tourism, e-health, media, and mobility. By 2020, their focus shifted toward securing those same 5G and IoT networks, with work on automated firmware assessment and cybersecurity measurement. An unexpected outlier is their participation in the intelWATT water treatment project, suggesting they may be exploring connectivity roles in environmental/industrial process monitoring.

Nokia Hellas is moving from 5G deployment and trials toward securing 5G/IoT ecosystems, making them a strong partner for projects that need both connectivity infrastructure and security expertise.

How they like to work

Nokia Hellas operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator — consistent with large corporate subsidiaries that contribute specialized technical capabilities rather than project management. With 87 unique partners across 16 countries in just 4 projects, they work in large consortia (averaging 20+ partners per project), typical of major 5G validation and innovation actions. They function as a reliable infrastructure and technology partner rather than a project driver.

Despite only 4 projects, Nokia Hellas has built a wide network of 87 partners across 16 countries, reflecting participation in large-scale 5G validation consortia that span most of the EU.

What sets them apart

As a Greek branch of a global telecom giant, Nokia Hellas offers direct access to Nokia's 5G technology stack within EU-funded projects, combined with local presence in Southeast Europe. Their combination of 5G infrastructure expertise with growing cybersecurity capabilities makes them particularly valuable for projects that need end-to-end secure connectivity. The intelWATT participation also signals willingness to apply telecom expertise in non-traditional domains like water and environmental monitoring.
