What SciFY does

SciFY – Science For You is a Greek non-profit organization headquartered within the NCSR Demokritos research campus in Agia Paraskevi, Greece. Operating since at least 2014, the organization functions as a research-to-society intermediary that translates scientific and technological outcomes into practical solutions for four primary stakeholder groups: citizens and professionals, research institutions and universities, civil society NGOs, and companies engaging in CSR activities. Its core technology focus areas are Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Technologies, and it delivers services across six practice lines: Computer Science & AI Solutions, Innovation Support & Product Development, Game Development & Gamification, Innovative Education & Skills Development, Dissemination & Networking, and Funding Support.

The organization's product portfolio includes the SciFY Academy educational program series (AI & Parenting, AI & Labor Market, AI & Education), the VolunTECH digital volunteering platform, and proprietary assistive technology products such as the accessible game "Taxidiotes" (developed for ELEPAP), the "Memor-i Studio" games for visually impaired children, and the FeIRd device for appliance control by persons with disabilities. SciFY also delivers paid services including AI/IT solution development, gamification, and digital transformation consulting for clients including WWF Greece, HIGGS, Dynargie, ActionAid, and Herakleidon Museum.

As a non-profit, SciFY generates revenue through project-based professional services and through participation in European research and innovation projects, with no equity funding, M&A activity, or publicly disclosed pricing. The organization reports reaching 240,100 cumulative beneficiaries, employs 22 staff, and holds 9 awards and recognitions. Its GTM is community-led and event-driven, centered on workshops, seminars, training programs, and long-dated institutional partnerships rather than traditional sales channels.
