Componous participated in the event “Supercomputers and Digital Sovereignty”, organized by the University of Western Macedonia and Digital World Summit Greece.As part of the event program, Componous CEO and Co-Founder Nikolaos V. Tiriakidis joined a panel discussion focused on supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and the opportunities emerging from advanced digital technologies.The event brought together academics, researchers, technology professionals, and industry representatives to discuss the role of digital infrastructure in supporting innovation, competitiveness, and technological development.For Componous, participation in these conversations reflects a broader interest in the technologies that enable better understanding, monitoring, and optimization of complex systems through data, sensing, and intelligent analytics.The company was pleased to contribute to a dialogue focused on the future of technology and digital transformation in Greece and beyond.

Componous participated in StartSaloniki, part of the broader TechSaloniki innovation ecosystem, contributing to discussions around photonic technologies, intelligent monitoring systems and the future of data-driven engineering.Componous was awarded first place in the StartSaloniki startup pitches, receiving recognition for its work in photonic sensing technologies and intelligent monitoring systems. The distinction reflects the growing interest in solutions that combine advanced sensing capabilities with actionable engineering insight.The company also presented how optical fibres, photonic sensing technologies and real-time monitoring systems can transform physical measurements into actionable engineering information, enabling a deeper understanding of structures, equipment and infrastructure.Equally valuable was the opportunity to engage with researchers, engineers, startups and innovation stakeholders from across Northern Greece. The conversations that emerged throughout the event highlighted a growing interest in technologies that enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and data-driven decision making.As intelligent monitoring applications continue to move from research environments into industrial deployment, the ability to combine sensing technologies, data analysis and engineering insight is becoming increasingly important.Events such as StartSaloniki provide an important platform for connecting research, entrepreneurship and industrial innovation, while fostering collaboration across the regional innovation ecosystem.

Componous participated in the GAIA-X Accelerator, a strategic initiative of the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance, implemented by Information Society S.A., which supports startups and SMEs developing emerging technologies across Greece and Europe.The program brought together entrepreneurs, researchers, and technology organizations working on topics ranging from digital infrastructure and intelligent systems to future industrial applications.Throughout the accelerator, Componous’ team engaged with members of the broader technology community, exchanging perspectives on photonic sensing, intelligent monitoring, and the growing importance of data in engineering decision-making.One of the key outcomes of the program was the opportunity to explore how research, technological development, and industrial implementation can work together to address real-world challenges. Bringing together different disciplines and experiences creates the conditions for solutions that are both technically advanced and practically relevant.For Componous, participation in the GAIA-X Accelerator offered valuable insight into emerging developments across the European technology landscape while strengthening connections with organizations working at the intersection of engineering, data, and innovation.We would like to thank the organizers and participants for the engaging discussions and valuable exchanges throughout the program.

Componous participated in SFHMMY 2026, Greece’s major conference for Electrical and Computer Engineering students, to showcase its expertise and engage the country’s leading technology professionals.Throughout the conference, Componous’ team focused discussions on the real-world adoption of emerging optical technologies, with students keen on photonics, sensing, and intelligent monitoring systems. These interactions highlighted practical engineering applications, such as infrastructure monitoring and predictive maintenance.The event emphasized how collaboration across academia, research, and industry enables the practical transition of scientific advances. Key discussions addressed the challenges and the essential skills required to turn knowledge into solutions.For Componous, SFHMMY was a platform for sharing expertise, exchanging ideas, and inspiring future engineers to apply technology beyond academia.Events like SFHMMY are crucial for linking education, research, and industry, thereby directly fostering the conditions for innovation and collaboration.

Following the recent elections of SEKPY – Hellenic Manufacturers of Defense Materiel Association, Componous’ Chief Executive Officer, Nikolaos V. Tiriakidis, will contribute to the Association’s governance structure, reinforcing the company’s institutional engagement within the Greek defence and security sector.Established in 1982, SEKPY represents more than 320 Greek companies operating across the defence and security industries. Through its activities, the Association promotes collaboration, competitiveness and stronger connections between industry, technology and international markets.For Componous, participation in this framework reflects a broader commitment to supporting cooperation across the national defence ecosystem and contributing technological expertise in areas related to sensing, monitoring and advanced engineering solutions.Alongside the participation of B&T Composites on the Board of Directors, this institutional presence reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the industrial and technological capabilities of the Greek defence sector.
