Greek technology SME delivering IoT integration, cybersecurity, and embedded computing solutions across 23 H2020 projects in security, digital, and agri-food domains.
Synelixis is a Greek technology SME specializing in IoT systems, cybersecurity, and embedded computing solutions. They build software and middleware for IoT platforms, security monitoring systems, and high-performance computing architectures — typically contributing the integration and systems engineering layer in large EU pilots. Their work spans from smart farming IoT deployments and food chain digitization to energy grid cyber-protection and law enforcement technology. They are a versatile technical integrator who can adapt their IoT and security expertise across multiple application domains.
Core contributor across ARMOUR (IoT security testing), IoF2020 (smart farming IoT), IoT-NGIN (next-gen IoT), SOFIE (federated IoT), FISHY (IoT supply chain security), FAIRCHAIN, and INLIFE.
Consistent presence in security projects: PHOENIX (energy grid cybersecurity), CyberSEAS (energy data security), FISHY (supply chain cyber resilience), GRACE (child exploitation response), FORENSOR (forensic sensors), and SUCCESS (critical energy infrastructure).
Early focus on HPC via COSSIM (CPS simulation, as coordinator), EXTRA (exascale reconfigurable architectures), ECOSCALE (energy-efficient exascale), and EuroEXA (co-designed exascale computing).
Contributed to SONATA (network service orchestration) and 5GTANGO (5G service validation platform).
Growing involvement through IoF2020 (Internet of Food and Farm), FAIRCHAIN (dairy and fruit value chains), and KATANA (agrifood technology adoption).
Recent work in Block.IS (blockchain innovation spaces), SOFIE (open federation with DLT), and IoT-NGIN (inter-DLT technologies).
In their early H2020 period (2015–2018), Synelixis focused heavily on high-performance computing, hardware acceleration (FPGAs, reconfigurable architectures), and embedded sensor systems for security applications like video surveillance and forensics. From 2019 onward, their work pivoted decisively toward applied cybersecurity for critical infrastructure (energy grids, supply chains), IoT platform integration, and emerging technologies like blockchain and federated learning. The HPC/hardware thread has largely given way to software-layer security and data sovereignty work, reflecting a company that moved up the stack from hardware simulation to application-level cyber-resilience.
Synelixis is converging on cybersecurity-for-IoT as their core identity, with increasing emphasis on federated approaches, data sovereignty, and privacy-preserving machine learning — expect them to pursue Digital Europe and Horizon Europe calls in secure IoT and cyber-resilience.
Synelixis operates almost exclusively as a consortium partner (22 of 23 projects), with only one coordination role (COSSIM). They consistently join large-scale consortia — 341 unique partners across 31 countries indicates they are comfortable in big, multi-national projects and bring a specialized technical contribution rather than leading the overall vision. Their breadth of partnerships suggests they are a reliable, easy-to-integrate technical partner rather than a project architect, making them a low-risk addition to new consortia.
With 341 unique consortium partners across 31 countries, Synelixis has one of the broadest collaboration networks among Greek technology SMEs. Their partnerships span nearly all EU member states, with no visible geographic bias beyond the natural concentration in Western and Southern Europe.
Synelixis occupies a rare intersection: they combine deep embedded-systems and HPC heritage with modern cybersecurity and IoT integration skills. This means they can work at every level of the stack — from FPGA acceleration to application-layer security to blockchain middleware — which is unusual for an SME. For consortium builders, they offer a Greek SME partner who reliably delivers technical integration work across diverse domains, backed by a proven track record of 23 H2020 projects and a massive partner network.
