We are excited to share that the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will be a featured speaker at our upcoming tech event in Athens. This event, co-hosted with a prominent organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship, will take place on the evening of May 8 at the beautiful Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
For those unfamiliar with his impressive background, Mitsotakis has a rich history that combines both political and business acumen. Prior to his political career, he gained valuable experience at renowned firms such as McKinsey and Chase Investment Bank. His journey through prestigious educational institutions, including Harvard and Stanford, has equipped him with a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing Greece today.
As a strong advocate for Greece’s technological advancement, Mitsotakis has been instrumental in steering the nation towards becoming a burgeoning tech hub. Following the challenges posed by the pandemic, he has implemented various initiatives aimed at attracting global talent, including tax incentives and streamlined processes for startups, which are crucial for fostering innovation.
Coming from a notable political lineage—his father served as prime minister and his sister held the position of mayor in Athens—Mitsotakis has established his own identity as a reformer. His administration is particularly focused on leveraging technology to enhance traditional sectors such as shipping and tourism, which are vital to Greece’s economy.
This event is designed to provide a unique platform for interaction between investors, entrepreneurs, and influential figures like the Prime Minister.
