Their technology and venture capital ecosystem is maturing and becoming an attractive place for private equity firms to invest in,” said Julie Meyer, Founder & CEO of VIP. “We’re thrilled to celebrate the 10th FTE Summit in Greece, which has not only been able to manage the pandemic better than most, but is also experiencing a rebirth in entrepreneurship and innovation. No one questions remote working anymore, and the opportunity to remotely work in Greece while building a business domiciled elsewhere is one whose time has come.”

Held at the Four Seasons Astir Palace in Athens, Greece, the FTE Investor Summit Greece 2020 will welcome more than 200 multi-family offices (MFOs), sovereign wealth funds (SWs), high net worth individuals (HNWIs), venture capital firms (VCs) and corporate investors to share insight, inspiration, intelligence, and networking.
