Ibadan, 7 July 2025. – OroraTech has announced the opening of its new regional headquarters in Athens, marking a pivotal step in its continued expansion in Greece. The new headquarters also underscores the company’s commitment to advancing countrywide wildfire prevention and management and fostering local technology development.
The inauguration enjoyed the participation of Greece’s Minister of Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou, along with senior dignitaries from ESA, the Secretary General of Telecommunications and Posts Prof. Konstantinos Karantzalos, the Hellenic Space Center, and the Hellenic Fire Service.
OroraTech won a €20 million development contract in 2024 to build and launch Greece’s first national wildfire monitoring system. The system includes four dedicated thermal imaging satellites and a robust data processing and alerting infrastructure. As part of that mission, OroraTech committed to local hiring, workforce training, and the establishment of a permanent operational presence in Athens.
Since the start of the project, OroraTech has continuously expanded its team in Greece, hiring software engineers, data scientists, and engineering specialists. The new headquarters will consequently serve as a hub for these growing operations and as a base for future technology collaborations with Greek universities, research institutions, and industry partners.
“By investing in local infrastructure and talent, we are not only supporting our wildfire constellation program but building a long-term foundation for Earth Observation innovation in Greece,” said Axel Roenneke, Chief Commercial Officer of OroraTech. “We are proud to build in Greece a center of excellence for thermal satellite sensing that will be the gateway for our growth in the region.”
Additionally, OroraTech plans further investment in Greece in the coming years, reinforcing its role as a key partner in Europe’s environmental resilience and digital transformation.
