Smart Startups, Smarter Growth

The “Smart Startups, Smarter Growth” event marks the beginning of the Start Smart Accelerator 2024-2025, a program designed to equip startups with workshops, mentoring, and networking opportunities to transform ideas into global companies. This pivotal event will highlight the importance of knowledge-driven innovation and technology transfer from lab to market, with a special focus on deep tech startups.

The event will showcase Greece’s potential as an emerging innovation hub in Southeastern Europe by bringing together global thought leaders, distinguished alumni, and leading sponsors.
