ABOUT US
Make a difference in your homeland:
your most profitable investment!
Our goal is to accelerate the creation and growth of Greek world-class technology companies, with the potential of impacting key sectors of the global economy.
Your financial contribution allows us to mentor and train technology-based innovators, entrepreneurs and businesses, and to offer them access to practical knowledge, mentorship, global networking and resources to transform their ideas into world-changing organizations.
We are proudly affiliated with the local Chapter of the MIT Enterprise Forum which, for the last five years, offers a world-class acceleration program in support of technology-focused start-ups in Greece.
Your tax-deductible donation can help organizations like MITEF Greece to continue changing the game for many Greek entrepreneurs; it is a concrete initiative which supports a recovering Greek economy while simultaneously providing opportunity and expertise to a rising entrepreneurial spirit. What you give always comes back to you!

We have established a Strong Start!
OUR MISSION
The Hellenic Innovation Network, an outgrowth of MIT Enterprise Forum Greece, was created to empower startups from Greece and Cyprus (“Greek startups”) with a bridge to the U.S. through pitching and networking opportunities. We want to facilitate cross-border collaboration in order to provide Greek startups with access to potential investors, distributors, partners, customers, suppliers, mentors, advisors and board members.
Our ultimate goal in helping Greek startups to expand is to increase employment opportunities in Greece.
OUR STORY
The Founding Advisors to The Hellenic Innovation Network are professionals based in Boston and New York City with affiliation to MIT Enterprise Forum Greece, an Athens-based accelerator that serves Greek technology companies through its startup competitions, workshops and conferences.
This platform was conceived by our group to build a curated online community of professionals, and enable them to connect, interact and collaborate. We seek to amplify the digital reach of our work as well as the work of other stakeholders active in the Greek tech ecosystem by sharing information about events, startups and innovators in the community—inclusive to anyone and agnostic to any organization.
The Hellenic Innovation Network has provided programming for the community with the generous support of the Greek Consulate in Boston, led by Consul General of Greece in Boston, Mr. Stratos Efthymiou.
Hellenic Innovation Network is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with U.S. taxpayer ID #83-2168200
