A Convergence of Innovation, Culture, and Sustainability
We are thrilled to have participated in the inaugural Panathēnea Festival, held from May 7–9, 2025, at the historic Athens Conservatory. This groundbreaking event reimagined the ancient Panathenaic festival, blending technology, art, and entrepreneurship into a vibrant celebration of modern innovation.
The festival featured over 100 esteemed speakers, including industry leaders such as Melanie Perkins (Co-founder & CEO of Canva), Lars Rasmussen (Co-founder of Google Maps), and Peter Vesterbacka (Founder of Slush and former Mighty Eagle at Angry Birds). Attendees engaged in a dynamic program of discussions, exhibitions, startup competitions, and networking events, culminating in a lively street party beneath the Acropolis.
Our team had the pleasure of connecting with passionate founders, top industry leaders, investors, and key stakeholders. The energy and ideas exchanged were fantastic, and we’re excited about the potential partnerships and opportunities that emerged.
Being deeply rooted in environmental sustainability, we were particularly engaged in insightful discussions with fellow pioneers across the deep tech landscape. We explored the transformative potential of emerging disruptive technologies, with a focus on the convergence of legal, financial, and clean-tech solutions. These conversations highlighted the evolving infrastructure supporting green initiatives and the critical role of innovation in driving sustainable development.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the organizers for creating such a dynamic event. The Panathēnea Festival not only showcased the vibrant intersection of innovation and culture but also reinforced Athens’ position as a burgeoning hub for global innovation. We look forward to contributing to this exciting ecosystem in the years to come.
