This highly anticipated gathering will take place on the evening of May 8 at the impressive Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, co-hosted with a prominent organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship.
For those unfamiliar with his impressive background, the Prime Minister has a wealth of experience that enriches his leadership. Prior to his political career, he honed his skills at prestigious firms such as a leading global consulting company and a major investment bank. His business acumen resonates with many in the startup community. As the youngest of four siblings, he boasts an impressive academic pedigree, having studied at renowned institutions including Harvard and Stanford, where he earned degrees in international relations and business administration. His educational journey has significantly influenced his vision for Greece’s future.
For years, the Prime Minister has been a strong advocate for Greece’s technological advancement. Following the challenges posed by the pandemic, he has intensified efforts to establish Athens as a burgeoning tech hub. Recent initiatives include attractive tax incentives and reforms aimed at reducing bureaucratic hurdles for new enterprises, making it easier for innovators to thrive.
Coming from a notable political lineage—his father previously held the position of Prime Minister and his sister served as the mayor of Athens—he has successfully built his own identity as a reformist dedicated to modernizing the Greek economy.
