Founder & GM Alex Maniatopoulos joined the HETiA & SEKEE panel on moving AI from hype to measurable business impact

Athens, June 2026 – Yodiwo took part in BEYOND Expo 2026, one of Southeast Europe’s leading technology, innovation and entrepreneurship events, held on 17–19 June 2026 at the Metropolitan Expo in Athens.

Alex Maniatopoulos, Founder & General Manager of Yodiwo, joined the panel “AI Beyond Hype: Scaling Systems That Actually Work,” organised within the joint presence of the Hellenic Emerging Technologies Industry Association (HETiA) and SEKEE at Hall 3 – Stand D44. The discussion, moderated by George Kourkoutas (Startupper Mag), brought together technology leaders to examine the shift from AI experimentation to real-world deployment – the practical use cases, the scalability challenges, and the conditions under which organisations create measurable value with Artificial Intelligence.

The panel sat alongside Myron Flouris (AI Catalyst), Fotis Foukalas (Cogninn), Nikolaos Chatzidakis (AfterSalesPro), George Markatatos (ForceCRM) and Emmanuel Zervakis (ES Systems).

For Yodiwo, the conversation maps directly onto its work: applying AI to turn sustainability data into operational value – automating processes such as double materiality and climate risk assessment, and flagging risks and deviations from targets in real time, so that the technology produces outcomes rather than noise.
