🛡️ During BEYOND Expo 2026, MetaMind innovations - MINDS presented the project at the Περιφέρεια Δυτικής Μακεδονίας / Region of Western Macedonia Pavilion., introducing visitors to its work on strengthening the awareness, preparedness and resilience of European .

💡 Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the NERO Ecosystem and its three use cases in healthcare, transportation and logistics, and finance, where project technologies are being validated against sector-specific cybersecurity needs.

⚙️ As part of the project, contributes to NERO through two cybersecurity technologies: M-RADAR and M-HaaS (Honeypot as a Service). M-RADAR supports AI-based network monitoring, anomaly and intrusion detection and real-time security visualisation, while M-HaaS uses intelligent honeypots to capture and analyse malicious network activity.

Through these technologies, MINDS supports NERO's validation activities and helps explore practical ways to improve threat detection, network visibility and cyber resilience.

The event provided an opportunity to introduce NERO's work to visitors and discuss how cybersecurity technologies can support more secure and resilient organisations across critical sectors.

We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth and learned more about the NERO and MINDS' contribution to it.

🟩Για την συμμετοχή σας παρακαλούμε συμπληρώστε την αίτηση που θα βρείτε στο παρακάτω Link.
https://forms.gle/Lfj8k29NQE3qEFZ66

🟩Η πρωτοβουλία έχει ως στόχο την ενίσχυση των ψηφιακών δεξιοτήτων του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού και των μικρών επιχειρήσεων του εμπορίου, με έμφαση στην πρακτική αξιοποίηση εργαλείων Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης για την προβολή προϊόντων, τη δημιουργία περιεχομένου και τη σύγχρονη επικοινωνία με τους καταναλωτές.

🟩Η Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη αποτελεί πλέον ένα άμεσα αξιοποιήσιμο εργαλείο και για τις μικρές εμπορικές επιχειρήσεις. Από μια απλή φωτογραφία προϊόντος, οι επαγγελματίες μπορούν να δημιουργήσουν εικόνες, αναρτήσεις, reels, διαφημιστικό υλικό και επαγγελματικό περιεχόμενο για τα ψηφιακά τους κανάλια, χωρίς να απαιτείται εξειδικευμένη τεχνική γνώση.

🟩Κατά τη διάρκεια του σεμιναρίου οι συμμετέχοντες θα γνωρίσουν πρακτικές εφαρμογές AI που μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν στην καθημερινή λειτουργία μιας εμπορικής επιχείρησης, όπως:

✅ δημιουργία επαγγελματικής εικόνας προϊόντος,
✅ παραγωγή περιεχομένου για Facebook, Instagram και TikTok,
✅διαμόρφωση σύντομων μηνυμάτων προβολής,
✅δημιουργία posts και διαφημιστικών προτάσεων,
✅ αξιοποίηση εργαλείων AI για σχεδιασμό, εικόνα, video και ψηφιακή επικοινωνία,
✅ενίσχυση της online παρουσίας μικρών επιχειρήσεων.

Η δράση έχει πρακτικό χαρακτήρα και περιλαμβάνει live επίδειξη εφαρμογών Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης, με στόχο οι συμμετέχοντες να κατανοήσουν πώς μπορούν να μετατρέπουν ένα προϊόν σε ολοκληρωμένο ψηφιακό περιεχόμενο: από τη φωτογραφία και την εικόνα, έως το video και την επαγγελματική ανάρτηση.

✅Η δράση θα υλοποιηθεί με τη συμβολή εξειδικευμένων συνεργατών σε εφαρμογές Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης και ψηφιακού περιεχομένου, με τη συμμετοχή συνεργατών από το Πανεπιστήμιο Δυτικής Μακεδονίας, ενισχύοντας τη σύνδεση της γνώσης και της έρευνας με τις πραγματικές ανάγκες των τοπικών επιχειρήσεων. MetaMind innovations - MINDS

Απευθύνεται σε εργαζόμενους, ανέργους και αυτοαπασχολούμενους στον κλάδο του εμπορίου, καθώς και σε επαγγελματίες που επιθυμούν να ενισχύσουν την ψηφιακή τους παρουσία και να αξιοποιήσουν σύγχρονα εργαλεία για την προβολή των προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών τους.

Η δράση υλοποιείται στο πλαίσιο του έργου «Κέντρα Ανάπτυξης Δεξιοτήτων και Απασχόλησης στις περιοχές ΔΑΜ», το οποίο χρηματοδοτείται από το Πρόγραμμα Δίκαιη Αναπτυξιακή Μετάβαση – ΕΣΠΑ 2021–2027, με τη συγχρηματοδότηση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
