Stop for a moment and reflect on your work day. 

How much of your time actually went into real problem-solving? How often did you have the luxury of thinking of your work as a “machine” that you have the space to improve and optimize? 

If you are like most of us, the answers to the questions above probably aren’t what you’d like them to be. Of course, you find time to do creative stuff. But most likely you spend most of your time in what we call, rather poetically, “doing everything necessary to get the job done”. 

Understanding this reality, and its inherent inefficiency, makes it obvious how exciting the era of AI really is. 

Human beings, workers of any type and level, will be much less in the business and much more on the business. 

In this new era, the employee will have to be more of a problem solver and an architect than ever before in mankind’s history. 

Of course, this will be reflected in compensation. But not only there. 

AI is bringing an unprecedented revolution to the workplace. Not tomorrow, though. It is already happening today. 

For us at Epignosis, and more generally at the Starttech Ventures entrepreneurial ecosystem, embracing change is a core company value. We thrive in transitions. This is our comfort and our confidence zone. 

This is why we are now enthusiastically embracing the AI transition to take our organization to a whole new level. 

At Epignosis, we leverage Practical AI to augment capability and accelerate efficiency. Both on a personal and on a team level. It is not only about “automation”; it is more about “augmentation”. 

We’ve invested heavily in making AI a core part of how every team at Epignosis works — not as a side project, but as a company-wide commitment. We provide our people with both the training and the tools: a structured AI competency program that brings everyone up to speed, and AI-powered workflows embedded in their daily work — from product development and sales to support and marketing. We’ve chosen a side: We are 100% on the AI side. 

But an AI-Native company is, first and foremost, a company of people. And building the best team means being where the best talent is. 

Thessaloniki is a very strong hub, and it will only grow stronger. What brings us here is the combination of great universities and fresh talent, with the quality of life this city offers. I see an opportunity in this city, a real momentum. I believe many of its graduates would love to stay and build their careers right here. And we can bring them a world-class working environment with competitive compensation. 

Our Thessaloniki hub will be operational by the end of June, with plans to grow to 60–70 people by the end of 2027 — roughly 70% engineers, the rest in sales and marketing. Moreover, in cooperation with Starttech Ventures, we will also launch the city’s Practical AI Community, like we have been doing with immense success in Athens since September 2025. The first Thessaloniki Mindstone Practical AI Meetup is expected to take place at the end of June. Pertinent details will be announced before the end of May. 

We are proud to be a Gold Sponsor of TechSalonikiΧ 2026. We are actively hiring — and we’d love to meet you. Visit our careers page or come meet us at our booth.
