Smart Cities in Greece and Beyond
The event took place at the headquarters of Stavvy, an emerging star of the Boston ecosystem with deep Greek roots. This was a great opportunity to welcome our new Consul General, Symeon Tegos.
Attendees were informed about the internationally-acclaimed Greek smart city flagship, Trikala. This roundtable discussion also covered the research of the MIT Media Lab’s Smart Cities group in intelligent, sustainable buildings, mobility systems, and cities. Additionally, attendees were informed about the growth opportunities in the US and Greece for the Boston-based, Greek-Cypriot founded Voda.ai, which operates in the area of water pipe risk modeling. Following the discussion, several Greek entrepreneurs pitched their startups.
Special thanks to Kosta Ligris for hosting and moderating, as well as Michalis Bletsas, MIT Media Lab for helping assemble this great panel.
