Athens means great potential for growth and innovation, with an enduring entrepreneurial spirit. Democracy, geometry, astronomy, philosophy, and just about every other –ology or –osophy you can think of was invented here.
Now a fresh wave of talented creatives is drawing international attention to Greek fashion and design brands. International artists and curators are settling in Athens, eager to tap into the city’s new creative edge.
The digital economy, and a more flexible business landscape, have created a thriving start-up scene. Venture capitalists have been quick to invest in the city’s highly skilled software engineers and programmers, many of them graduates from Athens’ world-class universities. No wonder Athens was named European Capital of Innovation for 2018.
