Description
Headquartered in Athens, Delian develops advanced technologies that enhance the protection of European land and maritime borders while also playing a critical role in early wildfire detection—a vital capability for a country that has faced over 300 wildfires since 2020 and continues to grapple with migration pressures. Built for rugged, remote environments, Delian’s systems can detect and geolocate fires in their initial stages, drastically improving response times. These same technologies are also being deployed to strengthen maritime surveillance.
While the sector carries significant implications, its relevance in today’s world is indisputable. “Europe hasn’t yet fully embraced the era of AI, drones, and autonomous defense technologies,” notes Dimitrios. “There’s immense potential here. The ethical concerns are valid, but talking about how a knife can be used—either as a weapon or a tool—is meaningless if you lack the ability to make one in the first place.”
Delian currently operates a growing number of systems and plans to roll out nationwide deployments for both wildfire monitoring and border surveillance within the next year. Its flagship innovation, the LAST Autonomous Surveillance Tower, leverages AI to deliver continuous monitoring, detecting unauthorized activity, suspicious maritime movement, or environmental threats like wildfires. It instantly alerts relevant authorities, enabling faster response and prevention of incidents. Looking ahead, Delian aims to broaden its portfolio, focusing on scalable solutions for border protection and coastal security.
