Introducing the Greek Tech Ecosystem
Agenda Day 1 Track 1
Wednesday, 17 June 2026
In Track 1, we do a deep dive into the progress Greece has made in developing its national ecosystem. Since the Greek financial crisis in 2010, and in particular since the launch of EIB's Equifund financing lines in 2014-2015, Greece has made astonishing progress in developing its ecosystem, attracting over $ 10 billion in tech-related investment and launching a number of unicorns and scaleups.
In the afternoon, we have two tracks of investor and founder panel discussions, followed by a round table networking event.
