The U.S. Embassy in Athens is showcasing activities in support of entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth throughout Greece in the context of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW).

Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt  said that supporting Greece’s long-term economic stability is a key objective of the  U.S. Mission to Greece. “We are  proud to promote Greece’s entrepreneurial growth through partnerships and investments across many sectors of the economy.”

This year’s GEW is a chance to show how entrepreneurship can accelerate an inclusive post-pandemic economic recovery.

On November 9, Embassy Athens’ Public Diplomacy Section connected with U.S. speaker Aisha Bowe with Greek audiences for a discussion of STEM education and entrepreneurship for women and girls.

On November 11, it will host a masterclass on women’s leadership in business with IBM Design Director Rania  Svoronou as part of the  FEMpowerment Initiative co-organized by  ReGeneration.

Throughout GEW the U.S. Embassy will also highlight the Embassy’s ongoing activities, including virtual leadership programs and mentoring sessions for young entrepreneurs; an educational program with Mindspace University that trains youth across the Balkans on how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset; and programs at its American Spaces in Greece, including a series of online entrepreneurship seminars at the Xanthi TechLab.

“Greece is a country of hope and innovative solutions”

Underscoring  U.S. support for entrepreneurship in Greece,  Ambassador Pyatt said:

“I am so impressed by the resilience of the Greek people and the Greek entrepreneurship ecosystem even amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Again and again, you have proven why Greece is a country of hope and innovative solutions to the challenges of our times.

Along with the entire team at the U.S. Mission to Greece, I am committed to continuing our investment in Greek entrepreneurship, digital up-skilling and employability programs  for Greek youth who are key to this country’s future – and are so important to our enduring relationship.

I am confident that by working together, and joining our know-how we can empower women, develop leaders, create jobs, help industries rebuild and lift Greece’s economy, helping to realize the great potential Greece holds while advancing prosperity for both of our countries.”
