Techfuse Ioannina Bridging Technology, Innovation + Culture [13-14 Μαρτίου]

Conference

TechFuse is the first annual conference in Greece that bridges technology and innovation with culture, through a diverse agenda, where its esteemed speakers hail from politics, entrepreneurship, academia, and the arts.

Co-organized by Non-Profit “Innovation and Digital Economy Hub” and the C.Ioannina cowork community, and endorsed by local and international public and private organizations, its threefold objective is to:

Elevate Ioannina into the Innovation and Digital Economy Hub of Southeastern Europe
Build on its existing momentum and strengthen the local and regional ecosystem
Foster sustainable development in Epirus and generate significant value for the local community through multiplier effects

TechFuse delves into topics such as ecosystem growth, the progress of innovation, startup stories, technology’s impact on society and work, that sweet spot where technology meets culture, and regional development on an economic as well as social level.

Special skills-building workshops, led by multinationals and local businesses will run in parallel for students and professionals at the beginning of their careers, or pivoting toward new professional endeavors.
