Avokado: From Research to Implementation – Advancing the Green Transition Through Strategic Partnerships

Avokado, METLEN’s innovation-driven startup, was introduced to both the Greek and international markets in June 2023 with a bold mission: to fundamentally transform the way we use, produce, and interact with energy. Today, Avokado continues to make steady progress toward delivering accessible, efficient, and intelligent energy solutions by harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Leveraging cutting-edge machine learning technologies and a robust portfolio of proprietary solutions, Avokado empowers businesses, cities, and consumers to adopt smarter and more sustainable energy models. Through this approach, AI becomes a real-world engine of insight and intelligence—enhancing energy supply chains and driving impactful change.

As part of its ongoing commitment to technological innovation, Avokado is actively investing in emerging technologies such as the Internet of Energy, blockchain, and mobile ecosystems. Its focus on the intelligent management and distribution of energy has led to the development of tailored solutions that bridge the gap between growing global demand and the limited availability of advanced digital tools in the energy sector.

In this context, Avokado recently announced a significant strategic collaboration with the "ARCHIMEDES" Unit of the Athena Research Center, which operates under the supervision of the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation of the Ministry of Development. This alliance aims to accelerate applied research through the development of next-generation technologies in AI and Data Science.

The Avokado–ARCHIMEDES partnership acknowledges Avokado’s role in pioneering AI applications in the energy sector and focuses on the following key areas:

• Knowledge exchange and the co-development of AI-powered digital solutions.
• Research into Large Language Models (LLMs), Reinforcement Learning, and autonomous AI agents.
• The establishment of a joint innovation lab for co-development and experimentation.

Planned initiatives include the optimization of energy storage system charging processes, behavioral modeling of energy consumers based on incentive mechanisms, and the development of specialized algorithms for energy sector applications.

Avokado’s integrated approach highlights the value of strategic partnerships—such as this one with the ARCHIMEDES Unit—as a bridge between science and enterprise. Together, they demonstrate how AI technologies can reshape the future of energy, accelerating the transition to more sustainable and efficient energy systems.
