April 8, 2017 Athens, Greece

Panos Groumas met with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Buedenbender at the museum of Acropolis, where Dr. Steinmeier hosted a roundtable discussion with young greek entrepreneurs in the framework of his official two day visit in Athens for the opening of Documenta 14.

The topic of discussion was young greek entrepreneurship, the current status and the difficulties young entrepreneurs are facing in Greece. Panos had the opportunity to discuss his concerns on young entrepreneurship with Dr. Steinmeier and Mrs. Buedenbender, and put forward ideas for strengthening greek-german collaboration such as the establishment of a Fraunhofer Institute in Athens, which were well-received.
