About p-NET Emerging Networks & Verticals

p-NET, with full legal name P-NET NEW GENERATION EMERGING NETWORKS & VERTICALS PRIVATE COMPANY, is a private company incorporated as a Competence Center in the Region of Western Greece. It is a partnership of twenty-one shareholders representing big and established companies, SMEs, public and private higher and lifelong education institutions, research organizations, consulting, and entrepreneurship support companies.

p-NET’s establishment has been approved by the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) of Greece, which also supports with 1.33M€ funding the first 18 months of its operation.

p-NET’s function is based on 5 pillars of activity: Test before invest, Conformance, Training programs, Consultancy, Research & Innovation.

To achieve its vision, p-NET starts with the creation of an advanced 5G and Beyond infrastructure as an open regional B5G near-to production network, by interconnecting with other public/private networks, and integrating partners’ technologies and vertical industries facilities. The infrastructure is to be used for conformance and “test before invest” experimentation. Continuous research and innovation, also in the framework of National and EC funding programs, is being pursued to maintain the Center at the forefront of technological evolution, thus ensuring its sustainability. The Competence Center is organizing and preparing to offer advanced upskilling and reskilling training programs on green and digital technological topics as well as business and entrepreneurial ones. Last but not least, the Competence Center aims to transfer accumulated knowledge and experience to public authorities, to citizens as well as to business and start-ups through a wide spectrum of consulting services.

The ambition of p-NET’s shareholders and staff is that the creation and planned valorization of the p-NET facilities will be used as a blueprint for the creation of similar 5G islands for experimentation and support of verticals all over Greece, enabling interconnection and strong collaboration among the research teams.
