Their core work

Space Hellas is a Greek ICT and security company that builds and integrates cybersecurity platforms, network security functions, and big data analytics systems. They specialize in translating security research into deployable solutions — from NFV-based virtual security functions to AI-driven threat intelligence and risk screening systems for critical infrastructure. Their work spans both digital infrastructure protection (5G networks, cloud/HPC testbeds) and physical security applications (urban safety, passenger screening, disaster management). They act as a systems integrator bridging the gap between research prototypes and operational security tools.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Space Hellas started in 2015-2018 with a strong focus on physical and urban security (City.Risks, TRESSPASS) combined with foundational cybersecurity work (SHIELD's NFV-based virtual security functions). From 2019 onward, they shifted decisively toward deeper digital security — runtime trust verification, AI-driven threat intelligence, and autonomous cyber-resilience for SMEs (ASSURED, PALANTIR, PREVISION). The trajectory shows a company moving from applied security integration toward more sophisticated, AI-enhanced cybersecurity platforms with a growing emphasis on supply chain trust and operational assurance.

Space Hellas is moving toward autonomous cybersecurity services and runtime trust verification — expect them to pursue AI-powered security-as-a-service and supply chain assurance projects next.

How they like to work

Space Hellas operates as both a project leader and a reliable integration partner. They coordinated 2 of their 9 projects (City.Risks, SHIELD) and joined 6 more as participants, suggesting they can lead when the topic aligns with their core security expertise but are equally comfortable contributing technical components to larger consortia. With 155 unique partners across 27 countries, they maintain a broad European network rather than relying on a tight circle of repeat collaborators — making them an accessible and well-connected partner for new consortia.

Space Hellas has collaborated with 155 distinct partners across 27 countries, giving them one of the broader networks for a Greek SME in the security-digital space. Their partnerships span most of the EU, with no obvious geographic concentration beyond a natural link to Southern and Western European security research ecosystems.

What sets them apart

Space Hellas combines deep ICT systems integration capability with security domain expertise — a combination that makes them particularly valuable for projects needing to move from research prototypes to deployable security platforms. Unlike pure research partners, they bring commercial product development experience and real-world deployment know-how. Their dual coordinator-participant track record and broad network make them a flexible consortium member who can fill either leadership or technical integration roles depending on what the project needs.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SHIELD
  Coordinated by Space Hellas with their largest single funding (EUR 483K), this project defined their core identity in NFV-enabled cybersecurity and virtual security functions.
• City.Risks
  Their first and highest-funded project (EUR 571K) as coordinator, establishing their credentials in urban security and real-time crime response systems.
• ASSURED
  Represents their newest strategic direction into runtime attestation and ICT trust chains, signaling where the company is heading beyond traditional network security.
