3rd Hellenic Innovation Forum
When innovation meets the business world

Since innovative ideas are mostly based on research findings, the challenge is creating a link between research and production or, in other words, connecting the academic and research community with the business world.
This connection is the main discussion topic of the 3rd Hellenic Innovation Forum which will take place on 20 June at the Divani Caravel hotel. The event is organized for the third consecutive year by Ethos Events with the co-organizer of the National Hellenic Research Foundation, the economic and business portal banks.com.gr and HRIMA magazine.
Bringing together the academic community and the business world as well as creating and promoting products resulting from research studies is a major discussion in the last years.
The forum starts in
Activity A
Applied Innovation Main Conference
Conference on bringing together the academic & research community and the business world
Activity B – Corporate Presentations on Innovation
Activity C – Exhibition of Innovative Ideas, Services and Products
- Evolve into a reference point for the whole innovation ecosystem in Greece
- Attract domestic and international public and private investors as well as funds’ executives from all business sectors, willing to forge long-term partnerships by presenting a dynamic strategy on funding Greek Innovation
- Highlight the latest innovative activities and initiatives in various fields, implemented and awarded in Greece and internationally
- Create opportunities and favourable conditions for the development of innovations in the business sector (and beyond) by utilizing and managing scientific knowledge and the mechanisms & options for creation of new networks and alternative support methods
- Provide a platform which will enable the – direct or indirect – participation of all state authorities and organizations involved in the promotion of innovative and outward-looking companies in Greece.
