Episode Synopsis

A Zoom panel discussion about the record  state of venture capital in Greece, which is fueling activity in life  sciences, retail and agritech. According to a report from Found.ation  and EIT Digital, over €500 million in funding was invested in over 70  startups in 2021. Of six exits, three were in the all-time top 10 list  for value. Notably, Greece now lays claim to its first “unicorn”  startups: PeopleCert, Blueground and Viva Wallet. With The Greek  government pledging €200 million for further startup activity, where is  this all heading?
