The event was filmed and it will be uploaded next week, with English subtitles, on YouTube after technical preparation.
The following report is from Greek News site Xanthi Press
The report has been translated using Google Translate, so there are some transcription issues going from Greek to English.

The first official presentation of the investment-mammoth company Defkalion Green Technologies in Xanthi, to produce energy from fusion of hydrogen-nickel (the invention of Foccardi-Rossi), was held Thursday afternoon in the auditorium of Town Hall Palaio Faliro.

To XanthiPress.gr covered the event and presents interesting material on investing and the importance ascribed by the scientific and business community. The presentation was made by the company president Alekos Xanthoulis, accompanied by the inventor - Professor, University of Bologna Andrea Rossi and former Ambassador, also professor at Bologna, Chris Stremmeno while the event was attended by Deputy Development Minister Socrates Xynidis.

A. Xanthoulis: "We can say that we start" President Alekos Xanthoulis company initially said that "For 1.5 years we have started this effort in time to present. Indeed the first time I saw this device that produces energy from "nothing" totally believed Professor Rossi. He was questioned and many audits by international organizations, but no longer as an industry standard and we can say that we start, "he said. In parallel, inter alia, noted that the effort has a national character by referring to "a light will come and we want to be ours and not the IMF.

According to President of Defkalion, industrial production starts from Xanthi to the first factory to the Fall, where katakefazetai core-reactor device (the "secret"). A new plant will operate within the next year again in Xanthi, where devices are manufactured complete e-cat, while the third plant unit will be operational in 2013 and again in Xanthi and will deal with the production of industrial units. The total investment cost estimated at over 200 million euros.

On the question of XanthiPress.gr reason for the choice of Xanthi as installation space industry, said three reasons:

First, note that in 3-4 visits to the region found a very high level of technical people in the region as well as kindness and warm hospitality of the people. Secondly, said the geo-strategic position Xanthie 2 ports, 2 airports near and immediate access to all trans-European road networks are very important and, thirdly, he noted that the overall reception has been very positive, noting " We want the development to cease to be vertical and not move up from Lamia and Schimatari. My hometown is Volos not welcomed me as I expected, unlike the blonde who greeted us as they should, "he said with meaning.

Declared open to cooperation with scientists and the University of Xanthi and said an agreement with three major multinational companies and the planned establishment of a Research Centre in the region.

The device will be presented in a formal test before the Greek authorities in the first 10 days of July, with several institutes around the world have tried the device. Moreover, 17 countries have expressed interest and demand is very high every day. We are very proud of that time. «

Greek diaspora investment fund

9 Greek diaspora-that compose Defcalion Global-fund investment outside of A. Xanthoulis. There is no debt or other financing and stated clearly that there is no request for a grant and the investment is only covered by equity. "We inform the state for this operation and the presence of Mr Xynidi indicates the support provided to us," said President of the company.

Alongside Professor Rossi revealed that interest was the discovery of various countries, but considered it more sincere effort identified by the Greek company Defkalion market the patent, adding that it is Greece of a large and highly appreciates the achievements of the country over the past 25 centuries. "There are entrepreneurs with patriotic feeling at this time we will not see what you get from the investment, but what will give the country" said Professor H. Stremmenos, pointing out the cultural dimension to the cooperation.

Technical details of the device

According to President of the Company "is a box-reactor that uses nickel and hydrogen, which gives us heat. They had been many attempts in the past for cold fusion, but we managed to get to this form of energy production while Greece has 83% of the amount of nickel in the EU.

It can produce up to 30 kilowatts / hour of thermal energy. We proceed experimentally and we present the toimoi Anna October 1 megawatt device and November 12 megawatts of energy. "The box can be used for domestic or industrial use of energy while producing heat can be produced and electricity the country needs." The cost is estimated at 4-5000 euro and the depreciation is estimated to not exceed a period of one year. "We'll cover the world and is a great project because, especially abroad, this technology has become too big noise, and although Greece is exclusively non-US country has shown interest. There were parliamentary questions to Obama and Berslouskoni for this reason that Greece got this patent. We now hope to have an interest in Greece. "Said Alexis Xanthoulis.

"From Greek goodwill of a product will reduce the cost of heating and hot water at 10%. Anyone who wants can add whatever a mechanism to convert thermal energy into electricity and return the surplus to PPC. He noted, however that did not produce any harmful effects. The cost is less than 1 minute per kilovatora, unlike the 12 that currently pays the Greek and the importance for industry, rural economy, and the power of the islands are large enough. Use for example using a michanmimatos to house 200 square, where a device is provided free throughout the thermal energy required in the home while it collects 2,500 euros from the sale of electricity by electricity.

High attendance at the event

The event was attended, apart from company executives, several representatives of the scientific community and representatives of foreign states and organizations show the importance given to the success of the invention. Among them, the representative of the local government of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany controlled by the Green party, the President of the Hellenic-American Chamber, representing the General Secretariat for Research of China, Chairman of the Technical Chamber of Greece The President of the Association of Exporters of Northern Greece as well as the President of "Larco" which will supply nickel as raw material Defkalion. Furthermore, there was quite a large interest from the municipalities of Athens interested in installing systems in municipal buildings.

Apart from the journalists of Greek and international media, questions submitted and scientists and business people, pairontas by Andrea Rossi answers only on the outside and not in the inner core of the device, which is a closely-guarded secret.

Defkalion: E-Catalyzer Market Strategy - Bullet Points
THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2011
Defkalion Green Technologies s.a. was established for the purpose to manufacture and release to the market products based on the Andrea Rossi E-Cat invention; essentially undertaking the path from invention to industrialization on a global scale. There is no government financing involved.

Science And Technology

Andrea Rossi and Sergio Foccardi have unquestionably succeeded with their invention (Hydrogen and Nickel exothermic reaction, calling it the Energy Catalyzer; commonly referred to as the E-Cat) to create and safely reproduce cheap and clean heat at room temperature conditions and with stable results. This process will create a new global energy era with profound and unequivocally positive social, economic and environmental implications.

Many have labeled Cold Fusion with positive and negative connotations. It has also been referred to as LENR and CANR. Most of these terms hold behind them thousands of hours of research work, all hoping to achieve the ultimate energy dream: limitless energy. However, overall, a stigma has created ambiguous feelings of aiming to reach the end of the rainbow. The science behind the products of Defkalion is none of the above, even though it is identified as such in current media coverage.

It is not the Holy Grail; simply put, it is an exothermic reaction between Nickel and Hydrogen that gives off heat; cheap, clean and green heat. This is a completely new field of science, one that is full of opportunities and challenges. It is a totally new emerging industry; one that will eventually revolutionize the energy sector.

As the leading company, Defkalion is ready to provide its full support to the scientific community at large in order to establish a global platform in this direction.

Product Status

The technology is currently in its final stages of becoming an industrialized and commercially viable prototype. This forms the basis for a broad range of products under the commercial name Hyperion. The current range of products produces surplus energy from 6 to 30 times more heat than energy consumed during its operation. Licensing of all Hyperion products is in progress. A fully functioning 1MW heat producing reactor will be inaugurated in Q4 of 2011.

Patents And Licensing

A national patent has been issued for Italy; the EU patent is on its final stage, while the global patent is pending. Hyperion patents are pending. EU safety certificates are in the process of issuance by the relevant authorities. Product tests will be similar to typical commercially available products with standardized procedures according to Performance; Stability; Functionality; and Safety.

Manufacturing And Factories

Our first factory is already in preparation phase, located in Xanthi, Northern Greece. It
has the following characteristics:

• 6,000m2 space
• Maximum production capacity of 300,000 units annually (kW and MW products)
• IT for monitoring the production line and product support
• Technical support to distribution channels
The assembly of products will include the following activities:
• Assembly of reactors (purchased from Defkalion)
• Build-up of final product (electronics, heat management, etc)
• Quality Control and Total Quality Management and Environmental Control
• Stress Tests and Functional Tests of end products
• Recharging of units
• Recycling procedures

The second factory is scheduled to be built in Xanthi within 2012, comprising of 12,000m2 for a larger assembly line. A third factory, belonging to Praxen Defkalion Green Technologies (Global) Ltd., shall operate as the producer of the industrial secret as the products’ kernel.

Total staff requirements for both factories will be around 380, and include technical expertise in the fields of: mechanical engineering, engineering, electronics, plumbing, data management, and auxiliary.

The 1MW Hyperion will be inaugurated in Q4 of 2011 with its production phase to commence in Q1 of 2012. This first 1MW reactor will be the first large scale unit based on multiples of the smaller Hyperion models in array. It will be used to partially cover the energy needs of the factory. It shall also be used as a show case unit.

With three factories located in Xanthi, the region shall gain in employment but also become an international hub where global investors and partners will visit the factory for business and product viewings.

Product Range

Although Hyperion models produce only heat energy, electricity can be generated with the application of existing third party technology. With regards to electricity generation, consumers will be able to receive a total solution based on mutually confirmed interoperability with third party technologies such as steam turbines and micro-steam turbines, Rankin new generation CHP, as well as intelligent heat management systems.

Hyperion products have different configurations, most notably:

• Series A: Single tube single module CHP: By this configuration, 5-10Kw heat power will be released to operate micro-CHP/micro turbine configurations

• Series B: Multi tube single module CHP: By this configuration, multiples of 5 or 10Kw heat power (max 30kW) can be integrated in the same box , when product has to operate (heat) bigger CHP/micro-CHP or steam turbine configurations

• Series C: Single tube single module heat only: By this configuration, 5-10Kw heat power will be released to operate small steam or hot water demands such as agricultural applications (green houses)

• Series D: Multi tube single module heat only: By this configuration, multiples of 5Kw heat power can be integrated in the same box , when product has to produce substantial amounts of heat for energy demanding applications

• Series E: Single or multi tube modules in parallel: To face the energy demands of big industrial installations at the range of MWs. Such products consists of arrays of A, B, or D series rack-mounted

• Series F: Single or multi tube modules in series: To accelerate power in different configurations

All kW range products have the following dimensions: 55x45x35cm
All MW range products are built within a 20” sized container
All products are connected to Defkalion main computers through on-line GSM for monitoring.

Hyperion advantages:

• Cheap: Hyperion can reduce the price of electricity by 90%

• Abundant: A typical Series C Hyperion 20kW product can generate up to 157 Mw in one year of operation. Regarding raw materials, Greece possesses 83% of Europe’s Nickel deposits. With its own usage, the price of creating Hydrogen will also become economically viable for its abundant use.

• Clean: The use of Hydrogen and Nickel produces Copper. There are no harmful to the environment substances during its production, use and afterlife.

• Green: no hazardous or toxic chemicals are required either in its production or in its consumption, unlike standard fossil fuel residuals.

• Safe: Analyses and tests for Performance, Stability, Functionality, and Safety will all be warranted from international accepted bodies to allay the fears of all potential nay-sayers that it is totally safe with zero radioactive emissions and zero harmful environmental emissions.

• Versatile: A broad spectrum of applications can benefit according to the level of output power. Hyperion products can be used in homes, hospitals, light industry, even propulsion. The extent to which is based on our continuing R&D efforts. Hyperion arguments

• Theories are difficult to kill, but a power-generating process is fairly easy to prove: does it release energy, or not? If the technology works, the theoretical controversy and academic debate won’t stop commercialization.

At a press conference in Athens, Greece on Thursday the Greek company Defkalion Green Technologies announced its future products based on Andrea Rossi’s energy catalyzer – the device that possibly produces heat via a hitherto unknown nuclear reaction.

Defkalion’s product is called Hyperion and will basically be available in two main models – one is a box measuring 22x18x14 inches with a heat output between 5 and 30 kilowatts, the other one larger heating plants with a power between 1.15 and 3.45 megawatts.

They can be combined with various types of turbines or micro turbines to CHP units — Combined Heat and Power. Defkalion claims that the technology can reduce the current electricity price by 90 percent.

As in earlier tests of the energy catalyzer the reaction is ‘ignited’ and kept in operation by an electrical resitance. According to Defkalion the output energy from Hyperion is 6 to 30 times larger than the input energy.

The larger plants are built into 20 feet containers. All models are under continuous monitoring by Defkalion via cellular connectivity.

On the company’s new website there’s a rough sketch of the smaller units in a press kit.

One or several energy catalyzer reactors are placed inside a thermally insulated and lead shielded box. Heat is transported through a thermally closed circuit, such as glycol, out of the shielded box.

Outside the box there is a hydrogen tank – Rossi’s energy catalyzer consists essentially of a reactor filled with nickel powder and secret catalysts pressurized with hydrogen.

There is also an electronic control unit and a pump for the closed heating circuit, and reasonably also a heat exchanger to transport the heat to a secondary open circuit.

An outer casing encloses all the components.

Defkalion states that relevant authorities are in the process of issuing necessary EU certificates with regard to product safety.

As Defkalion previously announced the production start is planned for early 2012, while a pilot heating plant of 1 MW made up of smaller units connected in serial and parallel, will be inaugurated as planned during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Defkalion confirmed that the first factory is being built in the city of Xanthi, Greece, with an area of 65,000 square feet and a maximum production capacity of 300,000 units a year, while a second factory with twice that area is planned for in the same city.

The two factories will primarily deal with the assembly of components for the Hyperion products, while a third plant, owned directly by the Cypriot company Praxen controlling Defkalion, will manufacture the reactors with their secret parts.

Defkalion will in turn sell the rights to produce Hyperion products to companies in other countries, and then receive a fixed royalty per product sold. However, the reactors will still be manufactured in Greece.

Defkalion said it expects the products to broaden the available opportunities for cheaper, cleaner and greener energy sources, without taking a monopoly in any market.

The company also hopes that it will contribute to Greece becoming energy self-sufficient and to a recovery of the country’s hard-ravaged economy.

At the same time Defkalion pointed out that 83% of Europe’s nickel deposits are situated in Greece.

At the press conference it was also revealed that the hitherto unknown investors in Defkalion are based in Canada and have a Greek origin. The investment necessary to cover Greece and the Balkans has previously stated by Alexandros Xanthoulis, representing the investors, to be about 200 million Euros.

After the press conference, the inventor Andrea Rossi also confirmed that an agreement regarding commissioned research into the energy catalyzer, worth EUR 500,000, was finally signed with the University of Bologna on Wednesday after several weeks of negotiations.

The agreement which formally is made with the company EFA srl with Rossi’s wife Maddalena Pascucci as principal owner, will last for two years.
