1st Annual Conference: Komvos is an Incubator of Actions

Komvos-Node: Networks of Global Hellenism is an incubator of actions that are immediately achievable, as emphasized by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Professor Angelos Chaniotis. In this context, the first Komvos conference opened the way for a series of initiatives in four thematic areas:

  1. Science: A Network of Global Hellenism.
  2. EN.N.OI.A.: Empowering Greek Households in Their Economic Decisions.
  3. Health-Biotechnology-Economy Synergy Structures in Greece: Lessons from the Past – Plans for the Future.
  4. Shipping: Convergence of New Technologies and Their Impact on the Creation of Shipping Hubs.

With the valuable major sponsorship of Piraeus Bank, the media sponsorship of SKAI TV, the sponsorship of National Bank of Greece, and the ongoing support of the Accounting Firm Ecovis One Tax, this first major event of Komvos was a great success.
