Alex Papacharalampous

CEO & CTO at AETHON Engineering
I’ve always believed tech should work for people not just profits. Early in my career, I saw too many “innovative” projects fail because they were disconnected from the real world. So I set out to build something different.

At AETHON Engineering, we design AI-driven solutions that actually scale because they’re built around real problems. Whether it’s smart mobility, energy optimization, or turning research into business, I lead teams that make technology feel human

From €30M+ of funded projects to spinouts that stand on their own, I’ve seen what happens when product, engineering, and impact align.

I work at the intersection of AI, Industry 5.0, and system architecture. What drives me is creating intelligent tools that support – not replace – human decisi-on-making.

When I’m not solving smart city puzzles, I’m probably mapping a new travel route, mentoring a founder, or sketching ideas in my notebook.
