The BRIGHT GROUP, led by George Poulopoulos and Aristidis Kartsolis, has recorded explosive growth, and justifiably so. They are carrying out numerous acquisitions, possess significant expertise—partly due to the acquisition of Diadikasia—and are consistently building a new business group active in the fields of consulting services and new technologies. The BRIGHT GROUP achieved pre-tax profits of €47 million with a total turnover of €340 million and an EBITDA of approximately €78 million. The objective is for BRIGHT GROUP to list on the Athens Stock Exchange in Autumn 2026 with a valuation between €350 million and €450 million.
No behind-the-scenes secrets, just hard work
BRIGHT GROUP hides no secret recipe. Nor have relations with the public sector played the role that some wish to attribute to them. BRIGHT GROUP became involved in public sector projects because it acquired the company Diadikasia, which largely handles contracts with the Greek state. It should be noted that their private sector clients exceed 370 companies, including almost all major banks, construction firms, OTE, energy companies, and many others. In fact, out of the €78 million EBITDA for the 2025 fiscal year, €31 million comes from the public sector and €47 million from the private sector.
Targeted for standing out
Precisely because BRIGHT GROUP stands out, it is being deceitfully targeted by anonymous reports questioning how it managed to achieve such profits or what its connections are with the state. Are they trying to tell us that Peristeris of GEK TERNA, Exarchou of Aktor, Mytilineos of Metlen, the Greek banks, and many others do not also do business with the public sector? The business conducted by these entrepreneurs is legitimate and rightly pursued, yet if BRIGHT GROUP secures a contract, is it suddenly to be stigmatized?
A message
"No matter how much they dig, the brilliance does not fade," as a Chinese philosopher once said.
