Augmenta
Augmenta is an Athens-founded agriculture technology company that developed a real-time, camera- and AI-based variable rate application (VRA) hardware platform for farming.

The aim is to increase yields and reduce unnecessary chemical and fertiliser usage. In March 2023 Augmenta was acquired by CNH Industrial for $110 million and integrated into CNH's precision-technology portfolio, while retaining operations in Greece and the US.

Skroutz
Skroutz is the dominant price-comparison and e-commerce marketplace in Greece, routinely ranking among the top five most-visited websites in the country and effectively serving as the discovery layer for most Greek consumer online shopping. Founded in 2005 by George Hadjigeorgiou, Vassilis Stavrou, and Panagiotis Papadimitropoulos as a simple product price-comparison site, it has since evolved into a full marketplace with integrated checkout, Skroutz Last Mile logistics, Skroutz Pay, and Skroutz Plus subscription, becoming the closest thing Greece has to a local answer to Amazon. The company was majority-acquired by CVC Capital Partners in 2021 at a valuation reported around EUR 300 million — one of the largest consumer-tech exits in Greek history — and it continues to run both its marketplace and a logistics arm independently. For the directory, Skroutz shows how a domestically dominant consumer platform can compound over fifteen years to become a strategic asset that global PE buyers are willing to pay premium multiples for.

JPMorgan bought a majority stake in 2022 valuing Viva Wallet at around USD 2 billion, specifically to use its cloud-native acquiring stack as the base for Chase's own European merchant-services expansion — one of the largest strategic tech acquisitions ever done out of Greece.
