If Greece wants to build a truly strong technology economy, the next phase has to include more cities. Thessaloniki. Patras. Heraklion. Nicosia. Ioannina. And others. Not as satellites. Not as “regional exceptions”. But as real hubs with their own identity, their own communities and their own momentum. In short, @IroTsak and I are sending a very clear message: The Greek tech entrepreneurship ecosystem is destined to grow and flourish; and it needs no-one's permission to do so. #ScaleupGreece #HellenicStartups #OpenHackathon #entrepreneurship starttech.vc/blog/2026/greec…

Thank you @IroTsak for co-aurthoring this article. It is absolutely certain that the #ScaleupGreece ecosystem will grow way beyond #Athens. As well as that it needs no permission to do so. #StarttechVentures #OpenHackathon
