BEDC – How it happened
• Bytemobile was born at the University of Illinois• Bytemobile Greece was born at the University of
Patras• Visionary, motivator (and brother of our CTO and
founder) was Prof. Eleftherios Polychronopoulos• Group of his students founded Daedalus Inc. in
2001/02– Bytemobile and Daedalus cooperation started in 2003– Bytemobile acquired Daedalus in December 2003– Bytemobile decided to build a key new product in Patras –
Web Fidelity– Coincided with (at the time) chief architect move to Patras
• Eleftherios remains the “chief recruiter” for Bytemobile

Outlook
• Difficulties– Plenty of “green” talent but lack of experienced engineers in
Patras– General lack of engineering managers in Patras– Infrastructure (modern IT lab space, office space, broadband
connectivity, IT support, supply chain lead times, etc.)– Stability (power, roads, strikes, etc.)
• Outlook– Bytemobile has been building the talent necessary to
take our company to the next level– Project strong growth of our BEDC team in the next 2-3
years– Extension into Athens office has already begun
