ViLabs

What ViLabs does

ViLabs is a private interdisciplinary SME headquartered in Pylaía, Thessaloniki, Greece, with operating offices in Limassol (Cyprus), Sofia (Bulgaria) and a Brussels policy-liaison presence, organised under three wholly-owned legal entities (VILABS OE in Greece, VILABS (CY) LTD, VILABS (BG) LTD). The company's functional role is research management and innovation services for EU-funded project consortia: it is selected as a partner or coordinator in programmes including Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Interreg, and the Digital Europe Programme, contributing gender mainstreaming, dissemination, exploitation, and software-development work packages. Its named customer base is almost exclusively public-sector and academic — municipalities (Municipality of Nea Smyrni, City of Athens, Nicosia Municipality, Metropolitan Municipality of Hatay, Municipality of Florina, Municipality of Rhodes), universities (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), national cultural institutions (Athens Epidaurus Festival, Museum of the City of Athens), and regional health authorities (5th Health Regional Authority of Thessaly and Sterea, covering ~2 million people). ViLabs holds four ISO certifications (ISO/IEC 27001:2013 information security, EN ISO 22301:2019 business continuity, EN ISO 14001:2015 environmental, EN ISO 9001:2015 quality) that pre-qualify it for regulated public-sector tenders.

The company builds digital platforms as outputs of its EU research projects rather than as standalone scaled SaaS products. Its portfolio of named platforms includes WABLI (web-entrepreneurship and innovation-ecosystem support), SavingFood (food-waste redistribution, piloted in Greece, Hungary, UK and Belgium), Families Share (a mobile application for shared childcare and work-life balance), and HAIVISIO (a community-building platform for eHealth, Active Ageing and Independent Living projects). Beyond these platforms, ViLabs delivers software development as a service line to consortium partners, with project-level AI components ranging from predictive analytics in skills forecasting (SKILLAB) and clinical decision support (DIOPTRA, TeleRehaB), to AI-enabled cybersecurity threat detection (VIGILANCE), and semantic archival / 3D-acoustic heritage tools (ARXIVE, MusicSphere).

ViLabs monetises services through EU grant funding as a consortium partner or coordinator and through direct public-sector consulting via national tenders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; there is no recurring software-licence revenue model. The go-to-market is event-driven and partnership-mediated: ViLabs builds consortium proposals, is selected as a partner, allocates work-packages (notably dissemination/exploitation and gender/intersectionality), and delivers against grant milestones. Revenue concentration on EU programme cycles exposes the business to multi-annual funding windows and consortium outcomes, while the absence of a disclosed SaaS revenue stream limits valuation re-rating potential absent a major commercial pivot.
