Our Mission
"The effective and efficient utilization of Industry 4.0 technologies."
Combining knowledge and experience with the innovation required in today's internationalized and competitive era.
Why trust is an industrial problem
In an era defined by rapid data exchange, the authenticity and security of information are constantly under threat. Whether it's a medical emergency requiring instant access to a patient's history, a university degree needing verification across borders, or an energy meter vulnerable to tampering — the core issue is always trust.
Assumptions about trust create risk. NEWCO replaces assumption with proof. By immutably recording data on distributed ledgers, utilizing AI for anomaly detection, and deploying intelligent physical sensors, we transform trust from an expectation into a mathematical guarantee.
Greek engineering, European scale
Greece is rapidly emerging as a dynamic hub for tech talent and deep-tech engineering. Operating from Athens — the historic home of rational thought — NEWCO serves enterprises, utilities, and governments across Europe.
We combine Mediterranean ingenuity with rigorous global security standards. Our products comply with GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, and NIS2. We participate in Horizon Europe research consortia and collaborate with EHTEL on the future of digital health infrastructure.
What we stand for
Our principles
Trustless by Design
We build systems where trust is not assumed — it is mathematically proven. No central authority, no single point of failure.
Speed in Crisis
Emergency systems must be instantaneous. Our architecture is engineered for sub-second response even in the most critical moments.
European Standards
Every product adheres to EU regulatory frameworks including GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, and NIS2. Compliance is not an afterthought — it is the foundation.
Human-Centered Tech
Technology exists to serve people. Our interfaces are designed for use by paramedics, logistics workers, and administrators — not only engineers.
Interoperability
Our systems connect with existing infrastructure — SCADA, ERP, hospital information systems — through open standards and REST APIs.
Open Research
We collaborate with European universities and research consortia, contributing to open publication and the advancement of distributed ledger science.
Unique characteristics
Why we stand out
Security, Transparency & Identification
Every transaction, document, and physical event is cryptographically signed, timestamped, and traceable — providing complete auditability with no hidden points of failure.
Privacy & Personal Data Protection
GDPR compliance is built into every product architecture. User data is stored with access controls by design — not patched on after the fact.
Patents
Our core technologies are protected by intellectual property rights, reflecting the originality of our approach to distributed trust infrastructure.
Lean Approach & Low Cost
We architect for efficiency — lightweight deployments, no unnecessary infrastructure, and pricing models that make advanced trust technology accessible to SMEs and enterprises alike.
User-Defined Workflows
Clients configure the system to match their operational realities. Our platforms adapt to your process — you are not forced to adapt to ours.
Vertical Integration Support
End-to-end deployment support across sectors — from healthcare to energy to logistics — with pre-built connectors and CRM-backed customer service.

Impact at scale
The people
Built by practitioners, not theorists
NEWCO brings together engineers, cryptographers, healthcare IT specialists, and business strategists who share a conviction that trust should not be assumed — it should be provable. Every member of the team has direct experience in the sectors our products serve: emergency healthcare, regulatory compliance, energy infrastructure, and logistics.
We are a lean, focused organisation where technical depth is valued above all. Our strength lies in combining blockchain architecture with real-world deployment experience — building systems that work under the pressure of an actual emergency, inside a live utility network, or in front of a regulator. We iterate with our partners in the field, not in isolation.
