This week on StrictlyVC Download, we’re bringing you to our recent event in Athens. TechCrunch editor-in-chief Connie Loizos was joined by Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who shared an inside look at how the country is positioning itself as a refreshed hub for innovation, investment, and participation from the world’s technology industry. They explored everything from policy changes to new global partnerships to Greece’s startup momentum. Plus, the prime minister offered a peek into why founders are starting to return to the country from shores near and far — and through what mechanisms.
