We are excited to share that Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Greece, will be a prominent speaker at the upcoming StrictlyVC event in Athens. This event, co-hosted with Endeavor, is set to take place on Thursday, May 8, at the exquisite Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

About Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Prime Minister Mitsotakis has a distinguished background that blends political acumen with substantial business experience. Prior to his political career, he worked at McKinsey & Company and Chase Investment Bank, equipping him with insights that resonate within the startup community. He is the youngest of four siblings from a politically influential family, with a father who served as Prime Minister and a sister who was the Mayor of Athens. Mitsotakis holds impressive academic credentials, having studied at Harvard and Stanford, where he earned a Master’s degree in International Relations, in addition to obtaining an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Advancing Greece’s Tech Ecosystem

For years, Mitsotakis has been a staunch advocate for the technological transformation of Greece. Following the pandemic, he has intensified efforts to foster Athens as a burgeoning tech hub. This includes initiatives designed to attract international talent through various tax incentives and administrative reforms aimed at reducing bureaucratic barriers for startups.

The Political Landscape and Vision

While Mitsotakis comes from a respected political lineage, he has carved out a unique identity as a reformist leader dedicated to modernizing Greece’s economy. His administration actively explores how technology can enhance traditional Greek sectors, such as shipping and tourism, thereby diversifying the national economic landscape.
