At Delphi Economic Forum we were part of the conversations that matter — from AI and innovation, to the Greek diaspora, and the connection between research and entrepreneurship — all with one goal: sparking meaningful dialogue and new connections. We brought together influential voices including: CHARLOTTE FOUCTEAU (TP), Alvin Wang Graylin (汪丛青) (HTC), Chrysostomos L Max Nikias (University of Southern California), Maira Myrogianni (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic), Michael G. Jacobides (London Business School), Petros Koumoutsakos (Harvard University), and Stefanos Gandolfo (Columbia Global Center Athens), alongside moderators from Endeavor Greece Angeliki Pittarokoili and Panagiotis Karampinis. We also co-organized a closed breakfast on Education, Research & Innovation with Uni.Fund — gathering top representatives from Greece’s academic, research, and tech communities to discuss how we can better connect groundbreaking research with entrepreneurial action. And of course, together with EY Greece, we brought the ecosystem together once again with our annual networking party — a night of live music by Onirama, dancing, and more than 400 entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders joining us in celebrating what makes this community special.

Innovation opened its doors last weekend 🔓✨ OPEN HOUSE Athens gave the public a glimpse into the spaces where bold ideas come to life. This year, we were proud sponsors of the incredible volunteers who helped made the whole experience happen. For the first time, in collaboration with Open House, we curated the Innovation Cluster — a tour through the offices of companies in Endeavor’s network, with over 950 visitors, and showcasing how modern architecture and new ways of working come together. The route included the offices of PHĀEA, Plum, Hellas Direct, Hack The Box, Orfium, and HotelBrain Academy. We opened our offices once again, designed by Interior Design Laboratorium, welcoming more than 150 visitors. For us, it’s more than just a workplace — it's a meeting point for founders, a hub for impactful conversations, and a reflection of the energy that drives our mission forward. Thank you to Open House Greece and everyone who stopped by — we loved sharing our community with you. Until next time! #OpenHouseAthens #EndeavorGreece #InnovationEcosystem #officearchitecture

Last Friday, 15 incredible organizations answered the call to unite efforts — and spent 3+ hours with us exploring how we can align, collaborate, and drive Greek entrepreneurship forward. We officially kicked off Alliance For Innovation Nation, a new initiative by Endeavor Greece to bring together the key players in culture and entrepreneurship shaping the ecosystem. From open dialogue to bold ideas, shared priorities to unexpected synergies — it was a powerful reminder of what can happen when we come together with purpose. Special thanks to this breakfast’s guest: the amazing Panathēnea team for sharing their student-led vision for the upcoming innovation festival — born during our Slush delegation and now coming to life in Athens this May! This is just the beginning. Let’s keep building.
