Panathēnea

We are back with Faces of Panathēnea! This time, our dearest mentor and friend, Panos Papadopoulos (Partner at Marathon Venture Capital) shares his view on why an investor should come to Panathēnea. Spoiler: Panathēnea is quite cool and you didn't hear it from us! You can still pre-register and get tickets as low as 70 euros. Do it now, you are running out of time... Link in the comments

Η Elomida Visviki , angel investor και συνιδρύτρια του Panathēnea Festival, είναι μία πολίτης του κόσμου, που έχει ζήσει και εργαστεί σε πολλές χώρες, χτίζοντας γέφυρες ανάμεσα σε πολιτισμούς και ιδέες. Στο νέο επεισόδιο του Drive Your Legacy, μιλά στην Eleni Kechagia για το πώς οι εμπειρίες της διαμόρφωσαν την οπτική της για τη ζωή, την επιχειρηματικότητα και τη βιωσιμότητα όχι μόνο ως περιβαλλοντική έννοια, αλλά ως τρόπο ύπαρξης.

Open call for every student, young talent, and innovator who’s ready to build the next big thing, in any field, in any sector. We’re joining forces with organizations across the country to connect and inspire every young person starting right here in Greece. Welcome to Greece’s Next Top Founder, a new series of youth events reminding every young visionary that change always starts with one crazy idea and the guts to chase it. To prove it, we’re kicking things off with one of our favorite self-made founders: Haris Pylarinos, founder and CEO of Hack The Box, who turned his wild idea into a success story. This event is open to all bold, crazy and ambitious individuals who want to make a difference. Seats are limited, so move fast. Find the registration link in the comments

Our founding team was included in this year's Forbes Greece 30under30 list and we couldn't be prouder. We want to use this as a sign for every next "30under30" daring to dream big! For us it all began last December when we had this crazy idea to build a world class festival in Athens in the same way they did thousands of years ago. Immediately something extraordinary happened. People believed and the momentum started growing and growing. In May 2025 our inaugural event came to life gathering thousand of people from all over the world in an event like no other (I dare you to find a dupe). And now we are still learning, still growing true to our vision. Our story is just beginning and we hope to be an inspiration for every young person out there. Use us as your crazy prove that anything is possible. Thank once again to all the ecosystem and the world that trusted, helped and supported us. We wouldn't be here without you. Thank you Forbes for sharing our story! And always remember that sky is the limit Lefteris Katsiadakis Fotis Athanatos Evi Kourounakou Anastasia Kotsa George Papanikolaou

I might get fired for saying this... but someone had to spill the truth. If you pre-register, you can actually grab your Panathēnea ticket for just 70€. This price is almost illegal, but we value loyalty and commitment and we actually mean it. So now the secret’s out, you officially have zero excuses. Save up while you can. This deal lasts a short amount of time Find the link in the comments

BREAKING: Founder of Google Maps & Co-Founder of Panathēnea, Lars Rasmussen has entered a trade deal with etn. as of 12:05 BST yesterday. 1 etn. cap was traded for 2 Panathēnea caps & 3 T-Shirts. The etn. boys were said to be grinning ear-to-ear throughout their Sunday with Lars as he shared stories around the origins of Panathēnea. It's rumoured that Co-Founder of etn. Ronan Chambers arrived 3 minutes late to the meeting due to "no lime bikes being available" in his area. Luke Knight, also a Co-Founder of etn. responded "he was probably just late".

Yesterday we teamed up with Fortune Greece at The Power of Innovation. We set up a board, handed out post-its and asked everyone, even the Fortune 40 Under 40, to share their craziest idea. Some laughed, some took it more seriously and a few might’ve just written the next big thing. Because that’s where innovation starts, with ones that are crazy enough to try or at this case… write it on a post-it
