Participated in inteGRIDy (2017–2021), an Innovation Action focused on smart grid cross-functional solutions including network modelling, demand response optimization, and predictive control for distribution grids.
TREK ANAPTYKSIAKON IPODOMON KE IPIRESION ANONIMI ETERIA
Greek technology SME delivering smart grid integration platforms and cybersecurity risk solutions for critical digital infrastructure.
Their core work
TREK is a Greek technology SME that builds and deploys digital infrastructure solutions for critical sectors, with demonstrated work in smart energy systems and cybersecurity risk management. In the energy domain, they contributed to a large-scale smart grid platform covering demand response optimization, predictive control, and visual analytics for distribution network operators. In security, they took the lead as coordinator on a project studying cyberinsurance from a behavioral economics angle — suggesting they have both technical depth and the analytical capacity to manage complex research programs. Their company name ("Development Infrastructure and Services") reflects a firm that bridges technology development with service delivery and deployment rather than pure research.
What they specialise in
inteGRIDy keywords include demand response optimization, enhanced automation, and cross-functional platform, indicating hands-on involvement in energy management tooling.
Visual analytics appears as a named keyword in inteGRIDy, suggesting a role in building operator-facing interfaces or monitoring tools within the smart grid platform.
TREK coordinated CYBECO (2017–2019), a RIA on supporting cyberinsurance from a behavioural choice perspective — an unusual combination of digital risk and behavioural economics.
How they've shifted over time
With only two projects, both beginning in 2017, there is no meaningful timeline to trace an evolution — TREK entered H2020 already running in parallel on two distinct tracks: smart grid infrastructure and cybersecurity risk. The early keyword set is entirely energy and grid-focused (coming from inteGRIDy), while CYBECO left no indexed keywords in the dataset, making it impossible to assess whether the cyber-insurance work deepened or was a one-off. What is notable is the breadth from day one: a company this size coordinating a security RIA while simultaneously participating in a large energy IA signals a generalist infrastructure-and-services profile rather than a single-technology specialist.
Both H2020 projects concluded by 2021, and with no further data available, it is unclear whether TREK has continued into Horizon Europe — any prospective partner should verify current activity directly.
How they like to work
TREK has taken both roles in H2020: coordinator on CYBECO (a 2-year RIA) and participant in inteGRIDy (a 4-year, larger IA), indicating they are comfortable leading smaller, focused efforts while also embedding within large technical consortia. Their 42 unique partners across 10 countries, accumulated in just two projects, reflects participation in sizeable European consortia rather than tight bilateral work. This profile suits a company that can handle coordination overhead and is experienced navigating multi-partner dynamics.
TREK has built a network of 42 unique consortium partners spanning 10 countries through just two projects — unusually broad exposure for a two-project SME, driven by inteGRIDy's large multi-partner structure. Their network is European in scope with no indication of extra-European reach.
What sets them apart
TREK occupies an unusual niche for a small Greek SME: it combines hands-on smart grid deployment experience with demonstrated leadership in cybersecurity risk research, specifically the intersection of behavioural economics and cyberinsurance — a topic most energy-focused firms do not touch. For a consortium builder needing a Greek partner that can contribute on both energy systems and digital risk, TREK covers both without requiring two separate organisations. The fact that they coordinated a project, not just joined one, indicates they have the administrative and scientific management capacity often lacking in SMEs of this size.
Highlights from their portfolio
- inteGRIDyThe largest project by budget (EUR 487,375) and longest duration (2017–2021), this Innovation Action placed TREK inside a major European smart grid consortium working on real-world distribution grid optimisation tools.
- CYBECOTREK served as coordinator — an unusually demanding role for an SME — on a research project combining cybersecurity, insurance economics, and behavioural science, demonstrating project management capability beyond a typical technical partner.
