Our History
EPICOS was first launched in early 2000 as e-offsets.com with the aim to provide information and services on the niche market of Offset and Industrial Cooperation. After 2 years of operation it became evident that our clients required more comprehensive information on general Aerospace and Defense issues. This trend led to the enlargement of our services to cover News and Tender information on a worldwide scale and intelligence and consulting services in over 50 countries and the change of our name from e-offsets to EPICOS.
After over 9 years of operations, our clients requirements is leading us to yet another enlargement of our services to cover more Industrial Sectors. The NEW EPICOS Portal launched in 2009 is a landmark to our history. We now provide information and intelligence to all industry sectors, from traditional sectors such as agriculture and construction, to high technology sectors such as defense, biotechnology etc.
EPICOS strategy is to become the reference Portal for all Industry members providing an open source of information and the right tools for every professional to promote its company and products, identify business opportunities and interact with other professionals around the world.
