Leveraging the Soft Power of the Global Hellenic Community:
Towards the Greek and Cypriot Next-Generation Innovation Ecosystems 5.0

In the new era, Innovation in Science and Technology is the spark to transform a Nation - within the Industry & Society 5.0 context - into a technologically advanced one, Small countries like Greece and Cyprus need to use all the necessary means to become successful in that front.

Our Diaspora is frequently mentioned as a game changer for helping Hellenism find its position for the time to come. It is perceived to be, and it is a soft power that we have to incorporate in every arrangement we compile for the future.

In this 3rd Symposium we build upon the very interesting ideas that came out of our previous Symposia – Tech Diplomacy and Involvement of Scientists in Diplomatic actions – that must be further nurtured and advanced to the next level, take shape and developed in to action programs.

We discuss these matters, with the aim
- To identify the role of Scientists in promoting our position in the global landscape via Science & Tech Diplomacy
- To identify the role of Hellenic Diaspora Business Leaders in the making of the next-gen Innovation Ecosystem
- To incorporate the wealth of experiences and capabilities of our Diaspora
? of our distinctive talent in Life Sciences to the dawn of the Greek Biopharma innovation
? to set up and build momentum for a Tech Innovation Ecosystem in Greece and Cyprus
