VELTI ANONYMI ETAIREIA PROIONTON LOGISMIKOU & SYNAFON PRIONTON & PIRESION

Their core work

Velti is a Greek software company specializing in digital platforms, mobile applications, and cloud-based services for both private and public sector clients. In their H2020 participation, they contributed practical technology expertise — particularly in mobile app ecosystems and online platforms — to EU research projects addressing privacy protection for end users. Their role in these projects reflects real-world capability in building consumer-facing digital products that handle personal data at scale. They bridge the gap between research-level privacy frameworks and deployable software products for smartphones, web services, and public administration environments.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both of Velti's H2020 projects started in 2015, so the timeline is narrow — early work centered on crowd-sourcing mechanisms, personal data protection regulation, and smart city ICT. The second project shifted toward cloud delivery and online platform tools aimed at public administrations. The direction suggests a move from citizen-side privacy awareness tools toward institutional, government-facing privacy management platforms — consistent with growing GDPR compliance demand after 2016. With only two projects in the same funding year, the evolution is limited and should be interpreted cautiously.

Velti appears to be moving from consumer-facing privacy tooling toward institutional and public administration platforms, which aligns with the broader market shift driven by GDPR enforcement and government digitalization — making them a plausible partner for public sector digital transformation projects.

How they like to work

Velti has participated exclusively as a consortium partner — never as coordinator — across both projects, suggesting they prefer to contribute specific technology capabilities rather than lead research efforts. With 28 unique partners across 11 countries from just 2 projects, they appear to engage in large, multi-partner consortia rather than small bilateral collaborations. This profile fits a technology industry partner that brings deployable platform expertise to complement academic or research-led project teams.

Velti has collaborated with 28 unique partners across 11 countries from only two projects, indicating participation in large European consortia with broad geographic spread. Their network spans at least the EU research community in the security and digital society domains, though no repeated partner relationships are detectable from this small dataset.

What sets them apart

Velti is a commercially operating Greek software company — not a university or research institute — which gives them a rare industry perspective in research consortia focused on privacy and digital platforms. Their ability to contribute production-grade mobile and cloud software development experience alongside privacy research teams makes them valuable as a validation and deployment partner. For consortium builders, they represent the "who will actually build this" role that many academic-led projects struggle to fill.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PRIVACY FLAG
  Largest of the two projects by EC funding (€336K) and the most technically distinctive — combining crowd-sourcing, smart city infrastructure, and personal data regulation in a single privacy tool for smartphones and websites.
• VisiOn
  Focused on visual interfaces for privacy management in public administration environments, signaling Velti's capacity to translate complex data protection concepts into usable government-facing software.
