Joining Delphi Economic Forum ΧΙ

For yet another year, we participated in the Delphi Economic Forum as a Gold Sponsor, joining this landmark event where representatives and executives from the fields of politics, business, international relations and the civil society get together to exchange ideas.

The event took place on 22-25 April 2026. Members of our management team and senior executives contributed to the discourse by joining panels on the evolution of the banking sector in the new era and the working conditions of the future, technology and artificial intelligence, supporting the digital economy, sustainable tourism, as well as businesses in transition.

The 2026 event marked the start of the 2nd decade of the Forum, following the 10-year milestone reached in 2025. With their collective knowledge and experience, the esteemed speakers captured the contemporary trends in the global community and explored solutions to the challenges of the modern era.

“Investors no longer view Greece as a recovery story, but as a normal member of the Eurozone and, in many cases, as a top performer.”
