ELKAK (the Hellenic Centre for Defence Innovation) is putting the Greek defence innovation ecosystem on the map. We fund and accelerate research and development, and connect the people and organisations shaping the future of Greek defence.

WHAT WE DO

ELKAK is the only organisation in Greece that bridges the needs of the Armed Forces with the capabilities of the domestic market. We fund research and development, strengthen the ecosystem and transfer technology from military academy labs to the market. Publicly mandated, startup-minded.

AREAS OF INTEREST

From autonomous systems and IT to space technologies, the areas we focus on are not chosen at random. We evaluate every solution based on strategic relevance, dual-use potential and the ability to evolve into new operational capabilities.
