The COVID-19 crisis has affected societies and economies, permanently reshaping the world.
Aiming to contribute to the conversation, the Embassy of Hungary in Athens and HEPA are initiating a Forum, with participation of experts who will join efforts to analyze the effects of the crisis and identify the developing opportunities, creating the ground of cooperation between businesses and organizations. It’s your chance to participate and contribute to shaping tomorrow … today!
About the Event
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the global community to live with extended restrictions, lockdowns, and social distancing measures that have deeply affected health, economies, families, daily routines. Nevertheless, life goes on and humanity must keep progressing, people should be reconnected, and the economy must be rewired. Inspired by Albert Einstein’s moto “In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity”, we have initiated a special Forum to discuss and identify better ways of living, working and doing business. The pandemic, besides causing gaps and disruption in economies and societies, has also highlighted the crucial role of technology as a tool to adapt to critical circumstances. Gradually, the world is moving to a different state of life and our minds are opening to new ways of “doing things”, highlighting and distinguishing the most important from the trivial. Now, it’s high time for entrepreneurs, companies, organizations and innovators to seize the opportunity, presenting new ideas, projects and solutions to satisfy people’s lives and improve economies. Since the new era will never be what we have been used to, it’s up to us make it better.
