Greece’s Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will join us at our StrictlyVC event in Athens, co-hosted with Endeavor, on Thursday, May 8, at the iconic Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
Mitsotakis brings a unique perspective, blending business experience from McKinsey and Chase Investment Bank with academic credentials from Harvard, Stanford (master’s in international relations), and an MBA from Harvard Business School. These experiences have shaped his vision for Greece’s future as an emerging tech hub. Before entering politics, he leveraged his business background, and as prime minister, he has championed Greece’s tech transformation, introducing tax incentives and reforms to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for startups.
Hailing from a political family—his father was prime minister, his sister a former Athens mayor—Mitsotakis has established himself as a reformer, modernizing Greece’s economy by integrating technology into traditional sectors like shipping and tourism. His leadership through the pandemic further solidified his commitment to positioning Athens as a tech destination.
StrictlyVC events are intimate by design, offering investors, founders, and ecosystem builders a rare chance to engage directly with influential figures like Mitsotakis. This is your opportunity to explore his government’s vision for Greece’s tech ecosystem and its role in European innovation.
