Startup Greece Week 2026 brought together founders, investors, academics and business leaders from 19 to 25 October, with more than 20 events and activities across nine cities and an online program. Alongside Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Xanthi, Larissa, Tripoli and Ioannina, Greece’s largest decentralized innovation and startup event expanded abroad for the first time, to Zurich and Nicosia. Through workshops, pitching sessions, themed discussions and networking events, it connected regional startup communities with the wider business and investment ecosystem.
