Greece as a Hub for the Future
The 4th Komvos Working Conference brings together people from science, the economy, business, culture and Global Hellenism around the same table.
Starting from the question of how Greece can function as a hub of knowledge, innovation, collaboration and growth, the Conference focuses on fields in which the country has capabilities, human capital and international networks.
The aim is not only to exchange views, but to shape collaborations, proposals and initiatives that can continue beyond the Conference itself.
