Alexandros Kapetanakis Named Among Entrepreneur Mirror’s “Top 10 Inspiring Leaders Transforming Industries”
An important international recognition for the Founder & CEO of EBS Consulting, highlighting the company’s growing presence across the defence, technology, and innovation ecosystem.
EBS Consulting is proud to announce that its Founder & CEO, Alexandros Kapetanakis, has been featured by Entrepreneur Mirror among the “Top 10 Inspiring Leaders Transforming Industries.”
The recognition reflects both his professional journey and the vision behind EBS Consulting: connecting defence expertise, innovation, technology, and business opportunities in an increasingly complex international environment.
Since its establishment, EBS Consulting has focused on supporting companies that seek to enter, grow, and strengthen their position within the defence, security, aerospace, and dual-use sectors. The company provides strategic advisory services across regulatory compliance, defence innovation, international engagement, procurement support, European and NATO programmes, and market development.
A central part of EBS Consulting’s mission is to help organisations transform technological capabilities into real market opportunities.
This includes supporting innovative companies in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, sensors, robotics, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, advanced technologies, and dual-use applications, while connecting their capabilities with national, European, and NATO defence priorities.
From Technology to Opportunity
The recognition by Entrepreneur Mirror also reflects the practical results achieved through EBS Consulting’s work.
Among the company’s success stories is its support to Raymetrics SA in its successful participation in the NATO DIANA Accelerator Programme, where the company was selected from thousands of applicants for the Sensing and Surveillance Challenge.
EBS Consulting has also supported companies in navigating the wider European and NATO defence ecosystem, including engagement with programmes, organisations, and initiatives such as the European Defence Agency, NATO DIANA, NSPA, EDF, EDIP, and the Hellenic defence innovation ecosystem.
These activities are part of a broader objective: helping companies understand the defence market, identify the right opportunities, build strong partnerships, and position themselves effectively at both national and international level.
A Recognition of a Growing Vision
For Alexandros Kapetanakis, this distinction represents more than a personal milestone.
It is also a recognition of the direction EBS Consulting has chosen to follow: combining strategic advisory, deep understanding of the defence environment, innovation, and international market access to create measurable value for its clients and partners.
As the European defence landscape continues to evolve rapidly, EBS Consulting remains committed to supporting ambitious companies that want to grow, innovate, and become active participants in the emerging defence and dual-use ecosystem.
This recognition by Entrepreneur Mirror provides further motivation to continue building strong partnerships, supporting innovative technologies, and helping organisations turn expertise into opportunity.
At EBS Consulting, our mission remains clear: to connect innovation with opportunity and help our clients build a stronger position in the defence markets of tomorrow.
