What started in 2013 has grown into a prominent gathering that tackles significant challenges that Greek and European regions face. By bringing together senior government officials, industry leaders, members of the European Commission and European Parliament, Academics, notable journalists and engaged citizens, the Conference offers the opportunity to reflect upon and address  issues related key sectors of the regions, including growth and development, economy, infrastructure, climate change, energy, health, agriculture, tourism, social cohesion and resilience and, importantly, youth. The main focus of the conference is based on the promotion of initiatives in all the above areas, pushing forward the introduction of innovative policies, public-private partnerships, the strengthening of business relations and the attraction of investment vehicles of the private sector.
