I’m an American living in Thessaloniki, and I’m in the global asset management business. This conversation is missing the forest for the trees. It sounds like Palo Alto but without Viagra (very, very Soft–ware). I disagree completely with education as a need. Greek students are smarter than they realize; plenty of opportunity, plenty of access to global ideas. What is missing is the MONEY–but local money, not foreign pensions. Forget shipowners or European pensions, or government subsidies. You Greeks are selling yourself to the lowest bidders, instead of developing this business properly, focusing on the product, then the funding. I hear nothing about the actual products you guys are developing…what makes your products exceptional? Instead, for you it’s all a :chase the money game.’. This model will not work. Sorry, but utterly disappointing.

Good observations. It’s disheartening to witness the poverty of the system, when the young people are so intelligent. Huge disconnect for me. As with the US or any country, like Greece, dead fish rot from the head. If you don’t have leadership, best to sit on the beach and dream.

Why are money people only on stage? Where are the founders you are talking about? Are the ‘virtual’? or did they all leave Greece because of regulation, bureaucratic bs, and better opportunities in the EU?
