The conference will be divided into three main panels, with the first focusing on science and Greece’s global network of leading academics and professionals. The second panel will focus on ways to empower Greek households to take sound economic decisions, while the third will focus on the past and future of the framework of the health and biotech sectors in Greece.
Additionally, there will also be a presentation on the future initiatives of the organization in relation to the Greek shipping industry.
The aim of Komvos is to create ad hoc networks of global Hellenism and to foster their collaboration with national, European and regional networks with the goal of promoting the international standing and influence of Hellenism.
The group was founded by 108 Greek scientists, academics, businessmen, bankers and executives from around the globe with the goal of submitting innovative proposals on specific projects in critical sectors for the country, including shipping, culture, education, health, the environment and others.
