Solution & Product

With top-performing products —based on real traction— such as Askity.ai, the digital assistant already deployed by the Region of Western Macedonia and showcased at the Web Summit, where it secured new collaboration agreements, as well as Morfi (create.morfi.gr), an AI-powered 3D modeling tool that generates both digital and physical 3D objects through a combination of AI, scanning, and 3D printing. Morfi was developed through a co-investment exceeding €150,000 within the Joint Venture between Innovation Bee and Kafousias Bros Group, establishing physical production facilities in both Athens and Rhodes. In parallel, the company provides a wide range of solutions, including AI automation tools, smart mobility platforms, public safety systems, AI content tools, interior design generation, and AI multi-agent: Postmatrix.app, Bi0.Link, Roomwhiz.com, VelocityDev (internal) and Urbanmove (Sustainable Mobility), empowering businesses, organizations, and public bodies across Greece and Europe. Combining deep technical expertise, strong R&D foundations, and international partnerships, Innovation Bee is building a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions that accelerate digital transformation, innovation, and organizational modernization.
