Our story
DataMinds was founded in 2023 in Thessaloniki by Panagiotis Papaemmanouil, after years of building machine learning systems for global companies. The pattern he kept seeing: pilots that impressed in a demo and never reached production, because nobody owned the path from notebook to daily use.
DataMinds is the answer to that pattern. A fixed scope with a metric that matters, and production as the definition of done. We build for clients across Greece and Europe, and we build products of our own so our engineering is tested on our own uptime and our own costs.
We work from the centre of Thessaloniki, in English and Greek, and we are happy to come to you.
Mission
What we are here to do.
01
Growth through data
Most businesses sit on potential they never touch. We turn data into growth, efficiency and better decisions, industry by industry.
02
Machine learning that pays
We use machine learning and AI to help clients decide faster, anticipate what comes next and stay ahead of competitors.
03
Innovation with proof
We test new methods on our own products first and bring what works to clients. Every result is measured.
Values
How we work, in four words.
01
Excellence
We ship work we would put our name on, because we do.
02
Innovation
We test new methods on our own products before we recommend them to you.
03
Collaboration
Your domain knowledge plus our engineering. Neither works alone.
04
Integrity
If AI is not the right tool for your problem, we say so on the first call.

Team
The people you meet are the people who build it.
No account managers in between. Panagiotis leads every engagement, and the engineers on the first call are the ones who ship the system and hand it over.
