A series of presentations has been launched at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation on Pireos Street, under the initiative Greeks Can!. Its objective is to advertise and promote examples of creativity, vision, innovation and entrepreneurship in Greece.

The campaign is the result of MCF’s collaboration with NU*Age, a new initiative focusing "on issues of innovation and extroversion" in our country. Apart from the presentations, social media will also be used to spread a message of optimism and inspiration.

A different presentation is scheduled every other week, starting from March 26, with researcher Dr. Athanasios Kostantopoulos, President of the National Centre for Research and Technological Development. Dr. Kostantopoulos is at the head of the group that has developed the Hydrosol programme, a means of producing hydrogen by the use of two natural resources: water and sun.

The research team has been awarded the European Descartes Prize for their invention. Successful business people and pioneers are to follow during the up coming weeks.
